I received my 4" lift kit yesterday. ;D Starting Thursday afternoon I will be removing the current oil pan skid plate and taking care of a bad UV joint. Hopefully this weekend I will start to install my lift. Due to my current schedule I will only be able to work on it on Saturday and Sunday afternoons for 5 hours at a time.  After I have installed the lift I will be putting on two new skid plates. (Oil Pan & Transmission) Finally (for now) I will be putting on 35"s.

Since the mixup with the tires I have been looking at Tube Fenders to give myself a little extra clearance.  I think I have found the right set for the TJ.

My hope is to have all this done in time for Florida Vacation. I will let you know for sure when I am working on it. Any help would be... well... helpful.   :)

Metalcloaks look great. I've been eyeing them, but I'm a cheapskate.

what is a uv joint

B52BUFF:
It's a universal joint that is painted Violet.

I realize that almost everyone works on weekdays but unfortunately my schedule doesn't give me ample time to work on weekends so I figured I would let you know that i will be installing my Skyjacker 4" lift starting Wednesday afternoon and have it completed, hopefully, by Thursday night.  If anyone wishes to stop by feel free I wouldn't mind the company.  I have read through the instructions several times and will review them again before I start.  I am going to get all my tools and parts ready before Wednesday so I can jump right into it.  For most of you, the next time you see my TJ, after this week, it will be approximately 6"s taller.  ;D
