I'd be down for a run... This weekend no good, but possibly the next. Let me know if you put something together.

this weekend is no good either because my 'mother in-law' is in town.
and next weekend might not work either because my jeep should be under the knife for the axle swap!. you are more than welcome to help with that? more hands the better I would think? or if you just wanted to stop by and meet a couple members, let me know. other than that I think the following week should be good for a shakedown run for me and a regular run for those around LA.

My main concern would be catching a bad case of axle envy.this weekend is no good either because my 'mother in-law' is in town.

It's possible I could come down and help out... Depends on what hours my wife is working that weekend. What part of town are you in?Sent from my SM-N915P using WAYALIFE mobile app

Oh yea! Come on down! Should have plenty of work going on. Front and rear axle swaps, 5 slabs need dismount and remount on new tires, wiring up ARBs, skid plate installs, driveshafts, and possible more. Should be some good times, lots of work, good people, and alot of learning for all.My main concern would be catching a bad case of axle envy.

What's wrong with a bad case of axle envy? Haha. It will be an early start and late evening kind of hours so come on by when you can. It will be in Redondo beach area.
Wait.... there is a lot more on this "to do" list than I am aware of. Well only the skid plate stuff. Who is adding skid plates?
Did you order up the tires yet? I'll bring my highlift jack this time so we can pop the bead from both sides and hopefully not take 3 hours on 1 tire.

Lol. I just got my Jeep where I wanted it to be on the 35s. I don't want to get the bug for axles and 40s yet!
I do need to install some Rockstars, though.

I thought you were getting those skids? No
I haven't ordered the tires yet but they will be there when I get home. Weighting options!

So the axles will be ready for pick up next week!
Can anyone confirm I can fit a PR44/60 in the back of a JKU with the seats down? And 2 people can lift them out?

Oh I was thinking week after next. Well its not that far from Redondo if you have to make 2 trips, just need to plan for traffic on the 91 if its that time of the day.

You have a hitch. You might want to think about renting a small U-haul trailer. There is no milage fee as I recall and the 4x7 open utility trailer and 4x8 enclosed cargo trailer are only $14.95 plus tax a day. They also have a low deck height. Easiest solution I can think of without borrowing a friends pickup.

well I looked and a trailer from Uhaul will run about $30-$40. not too bad and it will be much easier to lift the axle in and out of with this plus I know everything will fit. so this is probably the way its going to go down.

Nice! a little more than I saw in my area, maybe my location is a bit cheaper due to how many U-hauls we have. Still, its a bargain considering how much easier it will be for you. Not lifting so high is huge and I had my doubts about even one of them fitting because the crate is pretty big even on just the 44 (All I got so far). Your carpet and plastics will fare better too if that was at all a concern. Looking forward to the end result on an already badass rig!

Well thank you very much and I am so looking forward to it!! Going to be tough work doing it myself (with some friends) but totally worth it! Looking forward to see how he rides after the swap!
