Paul's 4x4 in Sandy

[12 Volt Man]

9400 south and just East of State.

Anyone have experience with them?

It is close to my work and I think I might go have them change out my control arm bushings today.

YES! Matt is my camping buddy. He's done work on our cars. He's gonna be flipping the axles on my daughters fifth wheel later this week. Very trustworthy. I highly recommend!
(He has a cool sand buggy he built himself for the dunes). He calls it the "Frog".

Cool. I dropped it off. They are looking at it now. Put in a good word for me. ;)

OK, so I left my upper control arms running with bad bushings for too long. The guy at this shop said that the holes it mounts to in the frame have become elongated due to wear. He found me some new bushings but says he has to weld in a new hole to make it fit right again. Does anyone think this sounds right?

He wants $280 for parts and labor. Dangit. That's gas $ for Moab. I don't think I should run those trails without fixing it though.

yeah buddys YJ had this happen to it as well I think we ended up welding a plate over the mount and drilling it out a prefabed tab would of worked as well but its what we had on hand

Wow. $300 bucks later but you wouldn't believe the difference in how my XJ rides. Apparantly not having your axle flop around up front makes a difference. :greensmok
