John is here doing some grinding and cutting so that the long arms will fit.

Terry and my gf are working hard to take off the old suspension bits...luckily no bolts broke!

A new friend local to my area came down and helped out. Boostamante!

And Dylan, John's son, can already turn wrenches with the best of them...even if they are plastic.

I'm a happy BUILT Jeep owner! :rockon: :ban:
