Hey Kevin,

I have done as much prep work as I can. I have a few parts that need to be welded on. Just to give you an idea of what I got... :ROFLMAO:
  1. Driver's/Rear Upper Control Arm/Track Bar Mount needs to be rewelded to the axle.
  2. I'd like to see about reinforcing/rewelding the Passenger Upper Control arm mount as well.
  3. Replacement rear upper coil brackets need to be welded in.
  4. Frame side Track Bar Bracket needs to be relocated and welded in.
  5. Antirock sway bar mounts on the axle need to welded in.
  6. Axle tie down mounts need welded in.
Let me know what I can bring in the way of welding wire, gas, money for consumable supplies, food, drinks, etc.!

Kevin,
I would love to attend as the last wrenching party was truly a grand event. You and Sarah have truly set a new standard in wrenching parties. I have a family commitment in WY during that time so unfortunately I will have to pass. For anyone considering joining , I highly recommend bringing your project to the wrenching party. You will not only learn much but meet some great folks.
 
Add me please. Need to pull the winch to replace the bluetooth module. Will also add fairlead led light bracket that mounts inside the bumper facing the winch spool.
 
I will have to miss this one as I'll be coming back from the Smoke Mountain Jeep Invasion. I would have come just to see all the welding being done. I will repeat what Rob said: "For anyone considering joining , I highly recommend bringing your project to the wrenching party. You will not only learn much but meet some great folks."

PS don't look at the arc :LOL: :LOL::LOL:
 
Are you going to post or send the address? Looks forward to seeing everyone.
 
I may be able to stop by for a while. I may have my girls with me (they love Jeeps), not sure. Please send me your home address. Thanks!
 
I believe I will be able to hang out with y'all. No projects for me but I'll provide witty conversation and personality in spades;)
Just need address. I believe you both have my number to text.
 
Although my original intention was to simply install exterior accessories, I have since realized my death wobble has begun to return ;( I had it bad with my old stock tires and when the 35s went on the wobble "disappeared" only to now be making an encore.

Happy to get any eyes on what *may* be the cause by any fellow experienced post-wobblers that may be attending ;)

See you soon,
Mina

At the last wrenching party I replaced my steering stabilizer (which had a few dents) as a first step after my own DW experience. Seems to have worked. I remember being under your jeep and also seeing a dent - remember?
