Do you wheel in Montreal or Ottawa? Did you install your own lift?

Ill be back in Montreal from school in may. Man I would appreciate it soooo much if you can help me. Because I for sure don't have all the tools necessary.

Got pics of your jeep?

Ok I guess you just get these bolts at napa? Hopefully its not too bad my cherokee doesn't have a lot of rust.

I've done a couple lifts myself and several more supervising with a scotch in hand.

I wheel in Ottawa mainly but we are planning a camping trip to Oka in the spring, probably June if you care to join us for some camping and wheeling.

I dont mind coming up, usually its tradition to have an install day as we call it where a couple of guys come by hang out, shoot the **** and install the lift.

Shoot me a PM as to when and where you'll be doing the lift.
