January 2011 SA Install

I think we're going to piss off the "other one"!

I think we need to plan on the 15th (sorry Randy).

8th is better for me, too.

Yeah the 8th is better

I'm sure the "Other One" is getting upset! Think i have to work the 15th.

I had to redo the front trackbar axle mount on the install I jsut did. I had to drill a couple of new hoels and also welded it to the axle housing. It should be pretty straight forward.

OK, I should have my lift and Trackbar delivered mid-next week. I just read through the instructions and am getting a little nervous about doing it myself - although it looks to be very similar to the process of installing the leveling kit I currently have and did alone. I haven't messed with a Trackbar (or any steering components) before and it looks like there's a little drilling involved.

Anyways, I ended up voting for the 8th since that means I won't have to wait as long ( ), but really the other dates would work too.

Is anyone with coil lift and trackbar expertise going to attend? I have basic hand tools, a jack, and a pair of jack stands.

So did we settle on the 8th?

We may have to do 2 install days.

i am available either date and my garage is open. so if we want to do an 8th and/or 15th we can do it at my house.

Let's just drink beer both days.

At the risk of having "the other one" come down on me, I definitely cannot do it on the 15th. The 8th is possible, but the 15th just ain't hapnin!

The 22nd is starting to look good!

Seriously...you want to make me wait even longer to install my lift and trackbar!?!? It's supposed to be coming tomorrow!

Got the parts in today...wahoo!! Looking forward to the 8th!!

The 15th it is..about 9:30ish.

We just need to firm up location. Stacy's, Renee's or Jons house. I think Stacy thought it might be easier at her house since the bumper was there but sounds like we need some more tools since there is other work to get done...our house is open, Jon what do you say, your house or ours?

Stacy I can swing by and help you load the bumper.

OK, I'm going to start asking for permission from the boss/wife for the 15th...that seems like so far away though!! I think it's going to take me a good 6 hours to do the lift and trackbar - I'm slow! It took me about 4 hours to do the leveling kit which is close to the same process of the lift but without messing with the trackbars. I will bring my basic hand tools, jack, and jack stands (2). We can do it at my place (Churchill Estates) if needed, but my driveway is somewhat steep which probably isn't ideal plus I don't have any pneumatic tools (yet).

EDIT: Stacy, I think I live close to you, so I could help load the bumper if needed.

Let's do it at Jons.

JK4AER, if you just have coils and a track bar it should only take a couple hours.

lets do it at my place. dont have to transfer tools and stuff

It's the Teraflex 2.5" Coil Lift w/Shocks. I also got a JKS Adjustable front trackbar. The lift comes with a rear trackbar relocation bracket that requires some drilling. It's hard seeing everything sitting there in the garage and not on the JK!!

Looking forward to seeing everyone again,

so what day are we doing this? everyone ok with my place?

k. i am also available on the 8th if anyone needs work done and cant make the 15th
