Title: BL/MML installation 7-7-07
Post by: Paul Hittie on July 04, 2007, 11:23:00 AM
OK Deb bought new tires, my job is to get the Jeep ready.  Daystar 1" BL/Daystar 1" MML.  Tires will be in on Friday, so I need to tackle this over the weekend to get everything ready for Silver Lake 7-13.  I'll keep a steady supply of food and beverages during the day, stop by if you can.  

Other than running over to Harley's for his nifty little hydraulic wedge jacks, I think I have everything I need unless you know something I don't.

you are welcome to do this here if you want---we have a small pool to entertain Jonathon and blankets to keep Deb warm :rofl:  Just an idea if you think air tools may be helpful.... :)

Got my own collection of air tools, so we should be good there.  Thanks for the offer!

I'll help ya if I can, but I already told ya that I'll most likely be at Harley's removing the BB off of my Liberty this weekend.  It shouldn't take long, but is has to be done as it goes in for the formal inspection on Tuesday morning.  Some big wig engineers from Chrystler are inspecting it.  With everything that has gone wrong with it and now the serious drive line vibes I will hopefully be rid of it and they will finally buy it back under the lemon law.  Once the BB is off and it's returned to stock, I might be able to swing by.

looks like Longarm can help you all day----he is out swearing at that Libby as we speak  :D


funny how that stuff can take forever to put on or take off when the directions look so simple :)

(BTW. rumor has it he's getting an H2 once the Libby is bought back!!!!)

OUCH!  

The front spacer removal started at around 8pm and ended about 12:30 am.  The rear spacer removal took 30 minutes this morning.  Something to be said about solid axles.  Lifting something with IFS was Stupid, Stupid, Stupid!    :x

BTW, once again, thanks Harley for all of your help.

What time are you doing this Paul?  Are you going to have beer?   :mrgreen:
Title: Re: BL/MML installation 7-7-07
Post by: Paul Hittie on July 07, 2007, 08:26:06 AM
My cell # is in the contact section, call for directions.  Beer going on ice soon.  This is a Jim Beam house, so if you prefer a different brown flavor BYOB.

Heading out to start.  Why is it that the longer the job takes the shorter the instruction page that comes with the parts??

Thanks to all my helpers - I took it up to Sam's and got the new tires on, and it looks great.  For the first time since she we bought the first LJ, she thinks the tires look like they fit the Jeep.

I will be better prepared next time - tape sutures, ice pack, metric 1/2" drive sockets, impact extensions and swivewls, and cold SoCo for the wounded.

after a few years with Harley, I guess I'm not so sympathetic.  Brendan, of course, burst out in tears when Chris told him he had hurt his head so that was the real "trauma" we dealt with.  Once Chris got home, I took one look at it and said, "Looks like all the other gashes to your head.  I guess you could go for stitches but I think it will heal just fine."  :D

So, like any good wife, I got him a strong So Co and coke, some ibuprofen, and told him to suit up since we were headed out to a pool party.  I figured the cholorine would cleanse it as well as any high price readi med could..... :)  A few butterfly sutures and we are golden!

Ya, it was bleeding pretty good.  I will say that after he stoped the blood he was right back under the LJ wrenching though.  :mrgreen:

I'm fine.  Yes, I prolly should have went and got a few stiches, but I don't like hospitals and such, so I didn't go.  Sorry for bleeding on your floor Paul......
