The Mud Pit > Wrenching
Control Arm Bracket
Axle:
Sounds good, just give me a call when you have a date and time. If you can give me a little notice, it will make it easier for me to get there.

I didn't say I couldn't or wouldn't help Rich, I just know that I CAN'T weld upside down. For your safety and the safety of others you may be driving alongside, I wouldn't even trust myself to weld them without doing it properly meaning removing the axle from the truck. If time is a factor, then can I suggest that you try to unhook all the other stuff that you don't need to move the Jeep with and then pull the axle on the day the work is getting done. I would also suggest you try to find some measurements to use as a reference because when you remove the old ones you need to clean the tube up so it's smooth for the new ones to be mounted properly. There should be a website that can give you the measurements or just take some before the old brackets are ground off...Just don't want you to have issues after its back together.... :-\
CaptORM:
Saturday morning starting at 1000. Anybody who can help please do. The more the marrier. Im going to jack the vehicle up put it on stands, remove tires and brake calipers, disconnect driveshaft, shocks, and control arms, pull the axle out and start grinding brackets off. Then weld on new brackets and reverse the process.
If you want to help and dont know where I live pm me ill send you the address....
I live in housing by the way.
Suppose to be cold this weekend but Id appriciate the help. Thanks.
rocket:
we gonna do this outside? don't you have a garage? what tools should we bring (grinders, cutters, etc)?
Axle:
Yes, we are doing this outside. No, he can't get the jeep in the garage. He can't even move it down the street, so it has to be done on site. I will help as long as I can, Rich. I have a basketball game Saturday afternoon.
