My next free weekends are the 30th through the end of August. I would like to weld some tabs on my new bumpers soon, too.

Mike's would be great as far as power is concerned.

Just not sure on his schedule as it seems he wont be available until late fall. I can shoot him a message

I'm at your guy's mercy. Whether it can be in your garage or O'Conners shop. I don't think a 10' wide garage is feasible, also don't have 220 except upstairs with the washer/dryer😂 Paul is shipping the spacers and shocks early this week. I already have the poly towers on hand.
If his shop isn't ready when your wanting to do it my garage is fine. The next few weeks are pretty busy for me, but after the weekend of august 17-18th I will have plenty of time

Ill let you know what he says. I think its basically finished but hes been pretty busy with traveling and family.

Side note--With the front driveshaft removed its pretty interesting how smooth the ride is. Definitely noticed it via the rearview mirror on my way into work this morning. I could actually make out the vehicles behind me.

Sounds like locking hubs just made the wish list. :p
 
Tyler, when was your birthday? Mine was the 19th. Happy Birthday!

Happy belated!

Mine was on the 3rd. My mom said she tried to keep us in for another 12 hours but I guess we just weren't gonna have it (I am a twin).

Something sounded funny on my last mile home. Looks to be an easy fix. I'll give it a shot once the thing is cool enough to handle

In preparation of the outboard this weekend I purchased a set of currie coils. Not sure how old my superlift coils are and their free length, or compressed length. So I am taking out the guesswork. Both front and rear should be here by Friday. Fronts will go in at a later date.
 
24 hours later...

Full bump and clearing the body which happens to be in the way

Minor setback, thinking the backspace of the wheels are causing contact. We were able to set the mount differently. At full bump my tire clears the shock body by about thr length of a tire whisker.

Well done. I cant wait for your first on/offroad review with the new set up.

You guys are getting pretty quick at installing those.

It's a long process. Most of it discussing what is going to work and what is not. I might have gotten impatient at one point but they all slowed me down and we got the clearance that was needed after some minor adjustments. I am headed on a work trip today and taking the jeep to try and get everything broken in and settled.
