Baystate Jeepers

Hey guys/gals. I'm looking for some volunteers to help with an axle swap on my JK at Kurts either the weekend of either 9/2 or 9/30. Stwapping in a pair of D60's. It's supposed to be a direct swap, but you know how that goes. The hardest part will be moving them around, they are heavy! I've done as much as I could to prep. I have some 37's going on so I clearanced the wheelwells and rock rails, just need to trim the fender flares. Compressor and ARB solenoids are installed and will be wired up before then. Should be a pretty strait forward and an interesting build if anyone wants to lend a hand.

Randy,
To get the axles to my place I could stop by with my open trailer and engine hoist to load them up and cart them to my place.
Much easier than wrestling them by hand!.

Thanks Kurt! They are in a crate at work and I have access to a forklift and a utility trailer, just need to verify the capacity of the trailer so I might be ok. My 37's on beadlocks are heavy too. If I could get everything there a day or two before hand that will save some time on that Saturday. I have some furniture dollies to roll them in the garage, hoist will come in handy to get them out of crate. I know you have some tall jack stands, will we need another tall set?

If you think you'll be taxing your trailer I can always swing by some day with my car trailer and load everything on it. Not going to tax it! - LOL
I have two tall sets of jack stands and two shorter sets. That should be plenty

Ok, I'll touch base when the date is closer

You need to do this 9/2 otherwise not done in time for the Jeep Rally.

That's my goal but that's Labor Day weekend so it might be harder to find help

Provide burgers.

Goes without saying...

Ok. Looks like this is going to happen the weekend of Sept 2. It's Labor Day I know, but if anyone is available and willing to give a hand, it will be appreciated. It will be a fun project in your into that sort of thing
If we can get a couple guys in each end it should go pretty quick.

Matt moves back to school one of those days but I'll help whatever time I don't need to do that.

Should be able to get down there and help out, don't usually have much going on.

That would be great! Would appreciate the help.

This is something I would like to see as I'll be replacing (not with a D60) in a year or so. If you don't think I'll be in the way I'd like to stop by. I don't mind taking some photos.

Won't be in the way at all, hope you can make it.
