I also have a welder...

THREAD HIJACK... What kind??

Steve answer my pm and we'll see what we can do.  I may be there as early as 9:30.

110V Mig/ Flux from Harbor Freight, not the best quality, but it seems to do the job.

i originally learned how to weld on those.  when i upgraded to my miller, i couldn't have been happier, it lays beautiful beads.  i know i'll never go back.  my next upgrade will be a tig.

I have no idea. As long as there is another vehicle there it will be easy to pull them out and then make a run to Johnson's to pick up new ones. I think Paul is right in that they are probably large metric bolts.

I already loaded my Grinder and HD snap ring pliers in my XJ.  Can you PM me your address again?  I deleted a bunch of old PM's and I accidentally deleted your address.

The rear should go a lot easier ( no track bar ;)).  I'm not going to be available to help until possibly Sunday, but if you still need help then let me know. 

Just remeber to add Power Steering Fluid and bleed the system like we talked about, and add transfercase fluid too.  The fill bolt for the T-case is a 10mm allen.

I had a great time working on Steve's rig last night. Anytime I can wrench is a good time. This is the 2nd SYE I've worked on and probably Kirk's 4th or 5th so we're getting there.

Steve, I'm not available tonight, but will be around the rest of this week and this weekend if you need a hand. Just let me know. I have a lot of homework to do this weekend, but turning a wrench could provide a much needed break.

So I got the rear lower control arms mounted and rear track bar mount installed, then the rain came.
I'll try and get the lowers on tonight after 8.

The rear end is all set (except for break line extension).  Anyone know where I can get braided lines for the backcoming out of the block on the axel?  I think I'll tackle the nutsert removal and new nutsert installation on sunday.
