Hey, Jeff.

I remember those having work done on their Jeeps last year contributed some money to the owner for the use of his garage. How much do you feel would be appropriate in my case since I'm sure my project is the major one?

I found a Firestone dealer near me that offers lifetime wheel alignments for $179.00. Like you said, for the cost of two alignments, you get lifetime as they normally charge $89.00 for one. I have an appointment Monday morning.

Awesome! Double check to make sure you can get that done at any firestone dealer and not just the one you sign up with. I know I can go to any Sullivans for mine.

Note : Groton Rd in Westford MA The access road for the shop is a long dirt driveway up a slight incline between 28 and 30 Groton Rd, its a large blue industrial building with heavy equipment outside, as you go down Groton Rd headed toward Groton on the right hand side you will see a small pond and a circular driveway followed by 4 mailboxes together, the access road is immediately after the 4 mail boxes. they are listed as 6 Millstone hill rd but its a sharp turn and easy to miss it. I will post my cell number when we get closer to Saturday..

Here is another alternative for directions to the shop:

42.606708° -71.487485°

See you all in the morning.

Jeff, if you would provide your phone number, just in case.

Thanks!

final confirmation for start time at 9.

ralph- lift, bleed brakes
carl- front extension brake lines
me- fog lights not working?

I was just reading through the lift install instructions and came across a section regarding the front bump stops. It says that a 7/16ths hole needs to be drilled in the center of the spring pad, then tapped to 1/2" x 13 for the supplied hardware.

Any of you fine folks that are coming have a tap in these dimensions they can bring tomorrow?

I'll bring my drills and a set of taps.

I think he meant this.

42.606896, -71.487261

42.606896, -71.487261 would put you at the spot...

I was curious how much difference there was between my co-ordinates and the one you provided. Here's what Google Earth came up with. Any idea why such a discrepancy? More like a 10 second walk:

Those are my coordinates. Your were 42.606708 -71.487485

Have a great time all! I wish I could be there, but I'll be stuck working. Gotta pay the bills somehow.

See you in the morning(ish). Won't be there at 9, but I will be there. Have a few things to take care of first
