Who's up for a ball joint install party?
Seeing how these are a b*tch to deal with, who's up for getting 3-4 rigs together on a saturday or sunday and cranking these bad boys out? I figure 3-4 rigs per ball joint kit being used so it doesn't take the whole day...

I don't know what part of NorCal you live. But I would be willing to open up the shop for a jeep parts party after the first of the year. My shop is in Fremont.

1) more time is going to be needed to prep the weld areas
2) finding someone willing to put in the time to do it which I wouldn't want to place on someone cause then everyone's gonna wanna get their Cs done LOL
3) plus you're clocking more time / use of materials on their welding equipment
4) clocking more time @ Rich's shop
I'd be all for it and also willing to pay for the extra time/effort to get Cs done but I'm not expecting it. I was planning on picking up a welder around March so I could just do them myself anyway. I'm more than happy to just do/get the ball joints done & meet/hang out with some fellow jeepers in the process.
