Thank you SPECfab for hosting this event. It's amazingly generous of you guys to open up your shop and let all these NAXJA dum-dums use your tools and your workspace. I'm very grateful, as I'm sure everyone else is too.

It was a really fun time, thanks.
 
Big Thanks for the help on my front bumper and for mounting and balancing my wheels/tires. Saved me a ton of time in my garage without the proper equipment!
It was great to meet you all too!
 
Thanks go to SPECfab for letting all of us come up and destroy your shop and driveway. It's nice to have the tools available to do most work. It was a fun, productive weekend for most. Here are some pictures.

Projects are a bit easier on a lift.

Sexy new Relocated sway bar axle mounts.

Out with the old greasy garbage!

Used the Anti-Rock nutsert and the whole aluminum support is mounted to the bottom of the AJ's bumper up into the "frame-rail". Really beefy and ties it all together. Had to drill the front hole through the bumper and jeep frame but quick work while on the lift.

Still gonna play around with the mounting hole and see where I like it, I have it pretty tight right now, it feels just like when I was connected with the JKS sway-bar if not tighter.

Clearenced my relocated shackle mounts.

Gotta get under with the grinder and clean it up a little bit and throw some paint on all the new welds and cuts!

No more Exhaust rattle!! fixed the mount and re-welded it!

The following day (Monday) we started on the gears!
 
It's awesome to see chapter members come together like this, and get SO much accomplished.
I wasnt there, (wish I could have been), but I'll extend a big thanks to the generous hosts at Specfab for making this possible.
Good work guys, and thanks for the pics MTB_JAK!
 
if any one wants to hang out and get their rig on the lift for a good once over or have a project they want to get done post up. have the lift open all day and tire machine and balancer if you want to swap tires (bring weights if you need them balanced) and fab tools for small metal projects shop is in Kalama Wa.for those that don't know where we are at let me know if you are interested
You should have another shop party. I'd come (esp if I get my Jeep rolling)
 
That'd be pretty cool, my monster needs a couple different sets of eyes to look over it. if anything is running on the river the fisherman can try to catch some too.
