Cherokee Suspension party!

[RnnngTrails]

My suspension and tires came in today. It was like christmas in May... Now I know how you all must feel when you get a lot of new stuff for your rigs. lol anyway.. I could use a hand putting it in if anybody is interested. It doesn't have to be right away. (I mean I would like it done yesterday of course..) But I'm not in any kind of rush. I just would like to have it done before May 26 because I'm flying out to San Diego for a few days and on June 1st driving to Charleston. The plan was to take the jeep and i think 30 hours on the highway should give the suspension a pretty nice "break in". So, anybodys ideas? How long does this kind of thing usually take? Dates/Times? I'll supply any meals that may occur while we're working.

I'd wait till I got back from that trip

side of the highway halfway to somewhere is not where you want to find out you forgot to torque a nut down on some vital suspesion peice

trust me I've had to limp to a parts store at 0 dark 30  and nap in my car till it opened once or twice for similar reasons

[Kral4me]

Actually, I agree. Mostly because of the "halfway to somewhere when something springs" lol. Better to be about town when that happens Cause you will have the guys to call on for help if it occurs, as opposed to AAA who will just blink at your suspension problems halfway down the East Coast lol!

yeah.. i've already dealt with the lack of torque thing.. that can really bite you in the back sometimes.. Jenn and I may have possibly lost a Caliper retainer bolt off the right rear caliper which caused it to swing down onto the rotor. AAA came and looked at it and was like.. that sucks, but it's 2 in the morning and i cant go more than 10 miles to tow you anywhere. (not to helpful when you're at exit 66 on 95) ok.. It can all sit till i get home i guess. i'm just at that anxious point where i want to see it in and how it is.

[HOT-ROD]

have you made any progress on this yet?

[RnnngTrails]

havent started since everyone was saying it'd be better to wait till after june when i got back from charleston. However, I dont think i'm going to take the cherokee to charleston. I convinced Jenn to take the volvo instead. SO if anybody is free on any day/afternoon, I'm all about starting this yesterday.

[HOT-ROD]

what time yo?

[RnnngTrails]

from the time the first person who can help me can go until it's done. Start times anyone? i'm ok with 8 when the Hobby Shop opens. (8 on saturday right?)

[Axle]

I don't think the hobby shop opens until 1000 on Saturday's, but I'd have to check.

Scott and I won't be there, this weekend is stacked with stuff...massages, bridal showers, cruise night, and classes.

I think it's pretty busy for everyone, so I hope you don't think the club is leaving you in the dust with not helping *hugs* I am sure there would be more people offering if they had the time!

Don't worry JD...  Even if you did show up THIS weekend, you'd be all by your lonesome!!!   

[RnnngTrails]
