I got the lift and skid plates on.
We started at ten in the morning, and finished at 8pm. Never done anything like this to the cars I had worked on. Heck, with my GTOs, you had to be really careful with the springs, they could pop out and kill you, but with the jeep lift with the shocks off and the sway bar disconnected, the springs pop out by hand.
The lift instructions sucked so we had to figure a few things out.
The bumper went on easy, it’s made by Grant 4X4 in Michigan, I like it, but it was a ***** to get. DHL sucks, they should have delivered in 6 to 9 days, and it took 16, then they delivered to the wrong address and the local shipping manager basically acused me of lying. The driver dropped it off at the wrong door. The manager said he would send the driver to get it and bring it to the right place but, the driver didn’t, then the next day they tell me he delivered it to the right address and to **** off. I called customer service again, and now I had to get the owner of Grant to call too. They then said the driver was going to come show me were he left it. Well I was walking the dog through the condo complex and noticed a big box by someone else’s door. Looked at the name on it and it was my bumper. The address was not even close and the bumper box was sitting right under the address on the wall.
DHL got an earful when I called them back. Customer service was nice but the Fremont warehouse manager was a dick the whole time. I wont be using them again.
some of the pars going on.
Before lift, tire off the back.
lift done
bumper
open.
I was filthy when done, I think I am going to avoid mud if I can, even after I hosed the underside down it was still filthy.
Was fun though, first time I spent all day wrenching on a car since I sold the goat.
