it's simple, no time nor desire. The jeep isn't a project it's already clean and in top notch shape. I just don't feel like drilling and mounting I'd rather have it done, period. I just didn't know what type of shops handle this stuff and which don't.

0415am wake up
0500am - 0800am ranger team pt
0805am - 0950 am accounting
1100-1150 am geo sci
1200-100pm meetings
1-200pm stat class
400pm-600pm lab

then it's dark and I'm tired not to mention I just had ****ing open knee surgery

but I guess busy people aren't allowed to have jeeps and should all sell them. Well said high speed. Craigslist here I come anyone wanna buy me jeep because I don't have time to take my Gimp knee *** out in the cold in the dark to install sliders because I was up at 4am 5 days a week with ranger team and classes and meeting all day.
You're taking things a little too serious champ. I don't expect you to sell your Jeep. It's just when it comes to aftermarket type stuff, you're going to spend a pretty penny most of the time to have someone else install it. But if you don't mind spending it, go for it.

And to say busy people can't have Jeeps is a joke and I NEVER implied that. I work 50 hours a week with an hour drive each way, go to school full-time, and manage to spend time with my girlfriend and have a social life while building a Jeep.

Theres a few ways to aquire what you want here, order parts you like (just saw your other thread) and ask a decent corner mechanic to install it all. You could also find a 4x4 shop that has experience and knowledge in the type of work you want done. You could also find a local Jeeper or club and ask for assistance... this is common and the way i would suggest... you'd be amazed at what we are willing to do for some pizza and a few cold ones.

I can see your reasoning for not wanting to do these modifications yourself.. you have a full plate.

Personally I don't trust shops for jobs I can do mainly because I'm 17 and most mechanics think I don't know anything so they keep trying to get more money out of me after I tell them exactly what I want done.
