No better time to learn! $30 package for a floor jack and jack stands, $100-$200 to rent the tool then it gets refunded to you, $30 for a proper manual and some sockets and some time and a BFH and your good to go!

I myself am getting to the time of having to do some ball joint replacement. The right upper is bad, but will replace the lower since it'll all be apart..

Always something on the Jeep lol, pads, rotors and calipers so far this week.. no time to do the fun stuff! (rockers/quarters/doorless lol)
