Just called the auto shop on Detrick. They do have a press, and they do have air tools. No, we aren't allowed to drink while working with their equipment 
They don't have any alignment equipment, but a tape alignment should be good enough to get me to a shop (if I need it done professionally).
I have: Coil springs, leaf springs, shocks, and tie rod. I also have a TC drop in case I need it.
Dukie, yesterday I bought the preemptive stuff you told me to get. 10 bolts, 8 nuts, and 12 washers, I think. It was more than you told me to get cause they're in packs, and the bolts and nuts are Grade 5. I also got those dust boots in the mail, and I put em on the TR so I don't lose em.
If people who plan to help on the 1st can PM me and guesstimate the times you'll be available, I'd appreciate it. Also let me know what (non-alcoholic) drinks you want while we're working. Shop opens at 9, and I plan to be there at 8:30 to make sure I get a lift.
Unrelated: I hit a small pile of snow at about 15-20mph in a parking lot after work, and upon impact, I realized it was packed from a plow. After a short visual check--since it felt like my wheel was gonna fall off--I drove home. No issues yet lol

It's about a 3" lift with Moabs, and 31s IIRC. It was at one of the McDonald's here in Frederick almost every day, so I assumed it was one of the workers. I hadn't seen it for a while, and then it appeared at the one in Thurmont. I think it's an employee who moved/got transferred. Great looking XJ.
I was at that McD today, about an hour ago.

dukie, I was sig #1,262. It took me 30 seconds, guys.
EDIT: Just got off the phone with IRO. They're mailing out my new double shear track bar tomorrow, FedEx quick shipping, and it should be here Tuesday. Military discount of 5% kept it just under $200 to my door.

Lol I appreciate the willingness to help, whether you can make it or not. The shop opens at 9 and closes at 7. I think clean-up starts at 6, but I'm hoping to be done before then.
