I'll be in PA for the Bantam Jeep but it sounds like you're in good hands

Looking forward to getting my lift installed at Kurt's on June 10. Anyone else want to join or need any work done?

I may be able to help out in the morning and then head down to my brother's place in Sturbridge for a family get-together. Depends upon start time.

Let's plan on a 9 AM start.

All are welcome to attend to help, learn, watch, or wrench on your own Jeep.

I'll be there for the AM, then I need to head to Sturbridge. Need to swap on the new yoke still for the rear pinion.

Sorry, just saw this. 3” Evo Enforcer, just lower front control arms so I can adjust castor. My shocks never showed up so I’m going to hold off on that for now. I have some raised rear shock mounts to install on mine (pretty easy) then I’ll help bang yours out.

HUGE Thank You to Kurt, Randy, Dave and Mark. You guys were like a professional pit crew. Lift came out great and rides better than stock. I look forward to testing it on the trails.
Randy, glad those shock mounts were "pretty easy" That would have sucked if they weren't! Ha!

Chris, Thank you so much for lunch. That giant sandwich was awesome and appreciated by everyone as well as the waters, donuts and snax!
Knocked off Chris's lift by noon. Went smooth as silk. :) Great work crew!
Unfortunately Daves new rear axle yoke was the wrong one. S%#*T happens. :sad:
Randy got his new lower shock mounts all installed and burned in.
A great wrenching day! :handgestures-thumbupright:

Good day, always better wrenching with others. We are getting quicker with the lifts, that only took 3 hours. Chris, you need to get that out on the trails.
