Great thanks for the answers.

I can't do it Dec 13th or Dec 27th or 28th. Anything else is good for me.

I really appreciate the help and comraderie guys!!!!

 

1. What would be good dates for everyone?

It's only 10 min from my house, so I am pretty flexible on date, prefer a weekend.

MOWranger - I prefer a saturday as well. However, December may kinda suck for me, so you guys pick a date and I'll do my best. I know I will be out of town the Saturday after Christmas, and the OJT christmas party is the evening of the 6th.

2. Army how long do you think we should rent a bay for? Like 8am till 1 or 2?

You can just get a bay and use it until you are done. I would say guesstimate 4 hours for a lift, I don't know about fenders.

3. How booked up is it in December. Or would we need to wait till January?

I dont know what their holiday schedule is. I have to call tomorrow.

4. Would a week day or a weekend day be better for everyone? I can take a vacation day so it doesn't matter for me.

Weekend or day after a holiday for me.

Weekend for me.

5. Another question: big A said he would give me his shocks from a rustys lift, would it be better to use those or my stock shocks?

Depending what lift you have, you will need longer shocks or extenders.

Those were the shocks from my old kit. They ought to work OK for any 2.5" kit if you are trying to save some $$.

6. Can you drink at the shop armycop or do we need to find another place to drink after? I am just talking about having a couple beers while we work, towards the end more likely.

No alcohol in the shop, it's a gov't building.

7. Do I need to by wheel spacers too????? I read in a thread about the coil lift some are saying I will need the spacers for stock wheels?? I may not have that much money right before xmas?

Not sure, each lift is different. The spacers look good and push the wheels out further giving you 3" of extra track width, I would go for them anyway it will look less "tipsy".

I ran without spacers on my Rusty's lift every time I wheeled with it and didn't have many problems. They could rub at full flex, but weren't bad and you could run for a while without them. If you know how to change a tire, you could easily add the spacers later.

ME - Great I was worried I wouldn't even be able to drive back to st. louis with out spacers on, I will make sure I buy spacers before I wheel it.



We will see what dates Armycop has available, and find a date that works for everyone. I am looking forward to meeting some people and hanging out, plus the extra help.

Now we are;

cutting my fenders and bumpers

and

putting on my spring lift

and

cutting Army's fenders

and

putting on Big A's skid plates too


Armycop where could we go and drink a few brews when we are done, I will bring a couple bottles of wine for our wives to drink while the boys glote about our accomplishments and stare at our jeeps.

 

I love it when a plan comes together!

 

ROFL!!!!

I am definitely more of a Murdoch I laugh much more than work, who's MR T???

 

You gotta admit they had a sweet van if you had to have a van,

 

We would have to go back to the house to drink. The wine idea won't work because the wife is pregnant. Chili sounds good though?

 

For the sanity of all of those involved, I won't plan on bringing the wife or 4-year-old...

 

Sure hope the Mrs. Doesn't read this, As that would mean extra dog house time for you!

 

Its ok... Pregnant sick wife that gets off the couch twice a day to pee, 5 and 2 year old boys at my house.
