Wrenching Party

[unimog2]

Hello folks.
New to the forum, not to wheeling. I have a 1992 XJ with a Rusty's budget boost and I went all out and purchased the 4.5" spring pack kit W/adjustable lower control arms and with tires/rims.
I have not done a lift on a jeep XJ and was looking for wrenchers who have done this kind of lift before who will work for food and Beer (Beer after the work, ok maybe a little during). I live in Yorktown and have pretty much all the tools we we will need, with the exception of Torx items.

Shoot me a line if there are any takers.

Mike

Yer a little far for me! I wouldn't worry too much. I did my rear alone in the garage (with air tools) and the front with an inexperienced buddy. It was pretty straight forward. You will hear this again....soak everything, for about a week or two, with PB Blaster. It did help me, and my truck isn't even rusted!
Good luck..........:sunshine:

Im in Fort Eustis. Check out www.dso4x4.com we meet every sunday at the Barns & Nobel on Jefferson, Im sure there are a few guys there that have installed a lift before. I bought mine with the lift on it

You can also check out www.mpjai.com but they are a little more hardcore then I can follow with my rig, but the guys there are as good as they come.

I was looking around for some info on the rustys 4.5 , I just ordered mine for my 96 , let me know how you like it and how the install goes. I will be doing mine in about a week.

I have rusty's 4.5 coils/2" spacers on mine, and they are plenty bendy.

I can lend a hand if it's in the morning!


What time?

 

[unimog2]

Yep, sold the mog. Miss her, but can't take the family in her and she was good for close trips to the mountains, not 3 hrs away. Long trips rough on the transmission, but damn she can wheel.

I was looking at doing the lift next weekend Sat (Sunday if needed) 22/23 July, will be on travel for work part of this weekend but will be back friday.

:repair:

Highlander,
could use as much assistance as I can get, the more hands and experience, the smoother it will go.
