Also many thanks to Carl, Kelly and Doug for lending their time, expertise and elbow grease making this such a successful day and night! 
Also there were tons of laughs during this time so we forgot to be tired. Carol and I both have 4" lift kits with 1" body lifts and 1" motor mounts. We were in desperate need of upgrading to Sye's and Tummy Tucks (our Jeeps that is). We ordered our parts through Lou at ELIAS and they arrived in time for Saturday - Kurt picked them up for us. Carol and I got to Kurt's house around 8:15 a.m. that Saturday. Waiting for us in Kurt's garage were Crown SYE kits, Tom Woods Drive Shafts, BDS rear control arms and Teraflex skid plates. All we needed was a tree and it would feel like Christmas! Anyway we were both amazed at how organized and methodical Kurt was in tearing down both Jeeps at the same time!
After removing Carol's old sled of a belly pan, Kurt removed her transfer case and did the SYE rebuild with Carol and myself either helping out with what we could or observing how this was done. Carol's had chocolate milk shake fluid in her transfer case and not a lot either - not sure when that was changed if ever.
Kurt also showed us a trick on how to get the bolts out of the belly pans without stripping the screws that hold them to the frame (lots of PB Blaster too). At that time Kelly and Doug showed up and then Carl soon after that - so they all got down and dirty with us as well. Kurt then installed Carol's transfer case and started working to remove my belly pan. Kurt found I had two strippers on my old belly pan and also there were mismatched screws from the prior owner when they did the drop before (three were Allen heads and three were conventional screws). So the cutter had to called into place to remove those offending strippers. 
Both Carl and Doug assisted me with this project since I am rookie and did not want to lose any eyebrows or digits. 
In the meantime, Carl and Carol and myself starting working on installing her new skid plate on her Jeep, removing the rear control arms, installing the new rear control arms and installing the Drive shaft. Kurt also found out that her front drive shaft yoke wiggled around too much, that meant the crush sleeve had not been tightened enough when it was regeared by someone else last year so add that to the To Do list. Carl also did a bit of welding to reinstall a broken bracket that held the CAT up.
Same procedures with Carol's were going on with my Jeep. Kurt also discovered I have a leaking front pinion seal and also the front axle seals needed upgrading so add that to the list.
Carol and I were at Kurt's until 11:30 pm that night. My Jeep still needs to be finished and is at Kurt's, and including shortening the new rear lower control arms to finish this project as we are waiting on a couple more parts from ELIAS so uppers won't need to be replaced. Carol's Jeep needs a new bracket for her 4WD so Kurt is working on this as well but she is getting around in 2WD for now.
All in all both Carol and I learned so much that day from everyone. Kurt we cannot thank you enough for everything and also all your patience! Many thanks too to Kelly, Doug and Carl and we could not ask for a more supportive Jeep club! Here are some pictures from that day:
and hanging out with great club members.
I felt so bad about having to bail at 8! But I'm really glad I was there to lend a hand. When it comes to helping, Kurt is a man on a mission
