Happy Tuesday all!

Glad you got them into a vehicle. The Edge we took in sold to one of the employees here yesterday as it was.

Have a safe trip Pat! I still need a price on the Jeep. Shoot me a number, I have a few people interested.

Truck looks good John!

We need a GTG soon, I know that Bender has a leveling kit to put on and Mike has a hoist.......

Ok, leveling kit, hoist, and beer. I think people would show up. Bender - if you want to come over I'd be happy to help. I'm not in town this weekend though. Tonight is Fellas Night - we go to my buddies barn on 60th, where he has not one, but two hoists, tire machine, computer balancer.... the dude's got toys! (and unfortunately is a Jeep guy) ((oh but a Superduty pulls the Jeep around)) So if you want to install the kit tonight it's not out of the realm of possibility. I'll PM you my cell.

thanks for the offer mike, i've got your number saved. i have stuff going tonight and tomorrow, then the wife and i are headed to mackinaw for the weekend thursday morning, so next week (or whenever) works better for me too. that'll give me some time anyways to get some PB Blaster on the 140k-mile-rusted hardware under there and hopefully save a headache or three.

No problem man - it was fun. Now we just have to hope that the super glue holds. Just thinking about it makes me thirsty!

I ordered the regulators for both doors. It works, but I am still scared of it breaking. So new ones are on the way. Looks like another GTG?

I'm in! I find it simply amazing that a hoist is required to install door regulators. It does make it much easier though. It was tough at first standing on the ladders, but we got by.

......... A hoist in your garage is a broken car (truck) magnet......cars just come out of the woodwork to be fixed.........just wait until stuff magically appears in the driveway and you have no idea whos it is or whats wrong with it.
