If you could make it to Frederick on Sunday that would be awesome! Clown is missing. He usually helps me with stuff.

Good god. Haynes didn't make it seem that bad. Thanks for the link. It's very detailed! In a good way.

As long as no surprises come up, cause my girl sometimes makes "plans" without telling me.

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.
I just finished the 96 there wed. When you get there aim to get that back right bay. It has the most room and is right beside the torch and welding area, lol... I used it A Lot... and they don't start bothering you about clean up till bout 30 mins before.
I would be there, but like i said i am on that wed/thurs.

I have never done that before, but it would be good to know. You talking about doing it this weekend? I am working this one but not the next...willing to help all i can..

He means the 33s won't hurt you if you regear to match them.

Thanks for the info. I haven't been in the shop yet; I've only talked to them over the phone, and I used the wash bay once.

depends what you want to do, and what tranny you have. That sounds about right for a road driven and occasional wheeling automatic XJ
