Everyone: There's a chance I could be off January 30, 31. I will be off Feb 1, and my leave starts Feb 2. I'd be willing to sacrifice a day of leave if that's the difference between a lift or stock. Would anyone be able to help on any of those days?

Thank you all for your time and attention

This has turned into a "buddy system" army build. Shocks, leaf springs, and tires will all be hookups from army guys.
FYI:
The install will be new coils, new leafs, new shocks, a TC drop if needed, and maybe a V8 ZJ tie rod.
If we do get the lift on in time, tires will be put on when I get home (with before/during/after pictures promptly posted), and the track bar will have to wait til I get back, or maybe March.

IDK about the 30th. It's up in the air, and I may not know til the 29th if I'll be home. My schedule is weird..
I still think the auto skills center on Ft Detrick is my best bet since they have lifts and tools.

Can you get on a list or something so a lift will be open for you on a certain day, or is it first come first serve?

Who owns this low mileage Jeep?! I can't believe the bid is up that high!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1999-...item35b850d8f4

So I'm surfing on ebay and I see that some 2000's don't have a tachometer. Was that an option? My 99 is a base model and it has a tach.
