I'm busy tonight and tomorrow night, but I can help Saturday. I plan to be out at Jeremy's house working on that Cherokee Saturday morning through the afternoon and can come by your place later. I could probably be there around 4:00 or 4:30.

I'm still on crutches and stuck on the couch :'(.  Do you have all the tools you need?  Tall Jack stands, pitman arm puller (if needed), torque wrench etc.....  I have a whole garage full of tools just collecting dust for a few weeks.

No problem, Will.  I can help pretty much any night this weekend.  I left you a voice mail on your cell.

Brad and Roger,  Saturday around 4 - 4:30pm would be great.
I have a floor jack, jack stands, wrenches, socket set, a torque wrench but no pitman arm puller.

Hey Kirk,

If you can get off the couch, I have a wheel chair in storage in the sail loft above my office.

Thanks for the offer for the tools,  what other tools do you guys think we might need?

Will

Will

Thanks for the Wheel chair offer, but the biggest reason for being on the couch is to keep it elevated.  I'm getting pretty good on my crutches.  I have a Colonial Style house and from the downstairs family room to the bedroom is 27 stairs!!!! 


Kevin would be the guy to ask what tools you will need.  I know he has a different lift, but he at least knows what needs to come off.  I would guess you would need some tall jack stands or some other way to support the frame and let the suspension droop.

I sent you a pm, Will.  Saturday afternoon is the only time I can't do it.  Sunday is good for me.

Thanks to Roger, Ed, Geoff and Justin the lift installation went fine.
For the guys that offered to help today (Sunday) Thank you very much but we got it done last night.

 

Thanks guys, I could not have done it without all of you.

Hey I took that pic of KP....

KP, The JK seems to be a little bit more of a pig on hills than before but what a blast riding around the few miles I put on it today.
