I'm not far from you, just across the river from Burlington NJ. Have done many lift installs, motor swaps.. etc. Have done work for a few here as well, can provide references.

PM me if you'd like to talk and can bring the vehicle to me.

Hardest lift I did was on a rusted out one while it was rain/ snowing...
Buying tool is one of the best investments you can make!

Find a jeep club and get a wrenching party going on. Jeepers love to help others get their lift on.

Time to go unlimited

>$99.00 = 90% of all the tool you needed
>Cherokeefourm = unlimited knowledge if you put in some time to search and ask
>Wish i have answer to your limited cash

Just did my RC4.5, here is the link if you are interested.
