Work in Progress




Well, the days have come...the guys started "lifting" the jeep. To say this makes me nervous is an understatement. This was supposed to be done last weekend so if it didn't get finished by Tuesday, Andrew could take the van to work. Now, I have to go to work which means it HAS to be done by Tuesday, when he goes back to work AND nothing, I mean NOTHING can go wrong!


They are "half" done...kinda. They had talked to a buddy who was going to weld the gear shifter for them. When we called his house this morning, his dad is in the hospital and I didn't want to even bother him with it, so we called another friend, he is out hunting and is supposed to call us when he gets back in. Without the extension welded on, the shifter can't move out of neutral, a little bit of a problem.... The pictures shows the "half" part, as you can see, one side is higher than the other. What I found out today is the stepside up into it will stay in the same spot (Thank goodness!) You can see the difference in how far it is from the stepside to the passenger door. The drivers side hasn't been done yet. I didn't know a three inch lift kit would be that big of a deal, but it is definately going to be taller! Just pray everything continues to go well!!!

UPDATE Jack made it home from hunting and has welded the piece, they now "think" they are home free- hope they are!!
