Thank you for the offer on the work space.  The thing is that I have a lot of time to work on it, but live in warsaw.  So if I took it to your place I would have to factor 1.5hrs of driving (45 min each way at least) each time that I wanted to work on it.   Much easier to just go out and dink with it for a few hours each day in the garage.

Ben I don't know which day I will be working on it.  Maybe sat. during the day or sunday evening.  I will give you a call and let you know more details.  If you want to see it call me before you drive over, schedual is all screwed up this week because of training.  I work till 6 am tomorrow and then I am back working at noon.evileye.  Just let me know.

Well those of us that could not be wheeling today worked on the XJ.  Thank you to all who showed up.  Those that didn't get the invite, I am sorry.  Just kinda schedualed it by the seat of our pants.  Called everyone this morning that I had phone numbers for.  Those present:  My little brother Charlie, Adam, Ben, Luke.

We got the front spring spacers on, hoodvents in, hood spacers off, front fenders trimed.  It was a VERY productive couple of hours.  Thank you, it would have taken me forever.  I will post pics tomorrow.  Looks awsome.  Going for the test drive here in a few min.

I wanted to go to the fall crawl but I had other obligations with Mark Souder and I got to shake hands with Sara Palin  and saw Hank Williams Jr.

Here are the pics.  One more thing that we got done was we took the hood spacers out.  Didn't think that there would be a need for them with the vents on.  I have driven it twice now and besides needing an alignment it rides MUCH better then with the Rough Country lift on it.


Here is the before shot so you can see the difference since I didn't measure before we started.  His is the one in front:



Here are the pics from today:

The wife not happy in this pic.






Crazy in this one





Thanks for all the help from everyone.

You know, on the way home I kinda realized I was a bit bummed...



























I was there for all of 3 hours and DIDN'T get to cut on anything. You guys were having all the fun! Oh well, guess it takes the real brains to figure out how to remove the bumpstops. idea
