Anyone willing to lend a hand?

[Lilian]

I hope as the newbie I am to this forum I'm not out of line asking for help working on my Jeep. :)

We finally have all the parts together, now we just need some help putting them where they belong so we can join you guys on some outings.

Mike Rollins already agreed to help out (thank you!! thank you!!) and a friend is letting us use his shop to make things a little easier (access to a lift etc.).

Here's what needs to be installed:
Rock rails
HD X-Member with transfer case skid plate
Quicker disconnects
Gas tank skid plate
3" Lift Kit
SYE

We set the date for Saturday, June 30th, 1 p.m.
The address is
Advanced Motorsport Solutions
1035 E. Bedmar St.
Carson, CA

Food and drinks will of course be provided, I was thinking steaks or tri tip, baked potatoes and so on. My husband will man the BBQ, I'll help working on the Jeep - might as well learn what it's all about. :D

Edited to add: RSVP please, so I'll know how many people to shop for. You can private message or email (liliangallier @ yahoo.com).

Thanks in advance, guys!

We're not putting a lift kit on a Golf....
Besides, we just own two Jeep XJs and a Mustang GT.

I'm willing to lend a hand as long as I can get some headway on my front axle issues between now and then... ;-)

Pat and Lilian it was nice to meet you. Hope to see you guys out on the trail.

[Lilian]

It was nice meeting you too! :)

Thank you sooo much for your help, (Mike and George too of course!).

We are both looking forward to joining you guys out there on some adventures!

What got finished? What is left to do? Will we see you on the 4th?

[Lilian]

We'll join you guys on the 4th, but no way are we going to make it down there by 11 a.m. :D We are night owls and rarely go to bed before 2/3 a.m., so we tend to start our day later, and we are invited to a pancake breakfast at a friend's house too. We'll show up in the early afternoon though, and bring the remaining piece of tri tip, pasta salad and some other goodies.

What's left to do: rock rails, x-member, and SYE. Plus the drive shafts after the SYE is done.

We took the Jeep for a drive today and I really like the way it rides, but have to get used to the difference in handling. In a few days I probably won't even notice it anymore. :)

As expected, there is some vibration, which stops at about 45 mph. It also makes an odd noise when in 4WD and making a tight turn?

if you are testing it on pavement that is normal, and DONT DO THAT ANYMORE :twak: :D only use 4wd off road where the wheels can slip a bit, that noise is the transfer case binding up

:D

We are somewhat limited over here - the patch of dirt ended and we had to turn around to get back to it. :D

Thanks for the explanation though. I'm sure I'll have lots more questions in the near future. lol
