yeah, I figure it wouldn't be a good idea to get caught.

thanks to everyone who helped today, you all did more work then i did.  I'll be honest, the brake lines and welded cross member took some of my steam.  but now i know exactly what i am up against.  I am gathering parts today... actually within the hour.

tomarrow @ 0930 alex will have the shop open (just got off the phone with him)

phase one: 0930-1200
1: modify cross member (scott and i have an idea)
2: front axle mounted, stearing box brace in, and stearing hooked up (straight forward, just time consuming)

phase two: 1300-1400
1: get t-case in and mounted
2: rear axle (should be cake now, everything is good to go)
3. drive shafts (no biggy)

phase three: 1400-???
1: brake lines routed an replaced (cheeks I'll need your help with this)
2: replace/refill fluids
3. other stupid stuff


I know today was on the verge of a clusterf----  but i didn't really know what to expect.   But now I have a plan and we can get it drivable tomarrow.  this way there is no  "what should we do next"  i dropped the ball on that, sorry.

so who is comming tomarrow; and what time?

I'd like to help out tomorrow too, but obviously, I'd need to meet up with somebody who has spare room in their vehicle outside of the base, so I'll wait for others to decide when they're going before I can say for sure that I'll be there or when.

How far away do you live? I know Jeremy said he planned on church in the morning, then coming to the base....so he might not be able to help out with the ride in....

If you want, Scott or I could meet up with you somewhere (here at my house? You can leave whatever you are driving in the driveway?) and take you into the base no prob whatever time we get up and going....I don't know how long we'll be there, (couple hours?), but either way, everyone knows where I live, so someone getting you a ride back to my house wouldn't be difficult....

Up to you  ;)

Scott said he would be at your house at 0900 reg, and can take you to the shop, AND stay as long as you do.

Al - if you want a ride into the base, be here at my house at 0850. I am PMing you directions  ;)

I'll be there at 0930 and I can stay until about 1300.  Just long enough for more pizza!  ;)

Thanks a lot for feeding us today, Reg.

Now about that beer...  ;D

YAY!

How did it go after I left?

Was that the last brake line that needed replacing?

Did they bleed okay?

Did you put transmission fluid in?  :)

brakes are just a pain.. time consuming, but between alex and scott, i've got a whole new brake line in the rear.

bleed good once we found all the leaks.

YES, i put in the fluid.


thanks for all your help guys!  two days!  I'll take pics tomarrow, maybe i'll get the flares oon first thing in the morning.

the pics I took today are headed to the photobucket as we speak

I'm really glad we were able to get Alex's jeep fixed too, that rocked!  Did he take it home?
