No I'm not, my buddy Brian is though, which is who I go with. Base is public access, and he has the military ID to rent the lift. $6/hr for the lift and all the tools.

air tools, specialty tools, you name it. You are required to use their tools instead of your own though

yea they sure are - about 1/2 the cost


bit of an update - spent some time at the shop saturday and finally was able to get my OEM gas tank skid and trailer hitch to play nice - ended up having to slot one of the holes in the skid and beat it in with a big azz hammer. Also fixed my exhaust leak while I have the tailpipe off.

Then went and played in the mud to test it out...it was a sloppy day

Also painted the top brackets for the disconnects, as well as my new ubolt plates and ubolts (pics later)
