XJ?2010

Alright so i started my Jr. year of high school this week and I am lucky enough to score a spot in a Auto Tech. program that my schol offers. The way it works is i go to a local community collage for half of my day. Anyway well they just got a nbrand new shop and its top of the line with 5 lift bays and a wheel alignment bay. Now I have wanted to lift my jeep for some time now but i never thought i could do itmy house and i didnt want to pay for it to be done so this looks perfect. They have every tool as a regular shop would have plus a tire mounting machine and wheel balencer and the greatest thing is that its free. Yes thats right i can get basicly all my maintance and extreme modifications done at school. So anyways our first open shop day to bring in our cars is in a month or 2 so who knows i may have to invest in a lift wheels and tires

Sweet! I can't imagine installing a lift with all the proper tools and the luxury of a hoist. I did it the old fashioned way - breaking sockets in the front yard.

Looks like you've got some money to spend!!

sounds like a good deal to me.

Yeah having a fully furnished shop with all the proper tools, air tools, lift boy would life be good... I bet they have one of those tall boy tranny/axle lifts too..and if so use it and your life will be so so easy..I am envious..

Yeah really.....I don't mind commuting

And where's the fun of installing a lift if you're not on your back, and the Jeep not on jackstands?

congrats on your first year of auto tech, im on my second year now, what school is it called?? cuz mine is called TCD and they wont let us work on anything that is being modified or anything like that, its a bummer but if they let you i would totally try to scrougne up money if i were you and get a lift and some tires.

You get to work on a mini-van? that's AWESOME man!

Consider yourself damn lucky, or just gifted. It'll be so easy workin on that standing on your feet, rather than on your back with rust falling in your mouth and ears and oil draining down your arms into your pits.

I am pretty much doing the same thing,except i am taking welding but the classroom right next to mine is auto mechanics and then they have auto body a couple class rooms down. So i can do my exhaust and have the auto mechanics do the lift for me

hell the last time I did a lift I was laying out on the gravel in my driveway doing it with a small portable air compressor.
