Hooray!.....
Shackles just arrived for PML.
Anyone available to assist this all thumbs unhandyman with this endeavor.

Sat Morn would be ideal. I work in the NW valley, and get off work at 8am, so could come to you for assitance right after shift.

I can do a Sunday afternoon if you want, anytime after 2. I have a floor jack and sockets which is all you really need.

I can assist you on Saturday if you need. I have floorjack,jackstands and air tools. will be available until around 4pm. I leave out of town on Sunday so needless to say wouldnt be able to help then.

Ex Grn-X, I will take you up on Sat help. Thanks alot. I get off shift 8am barring any late call. Coming from 107th ave & Union Hills.
Send me a PM on how to get to your house.

Thanks for the Sunday offer Gabe, Just Sat be a bit better for me.

Nice. I hope to have the shackles on order in a few weeks when my wifes company employee me to do their new web site. Yayyy - Money I can spend on the X finally!

Be sure to visit an alighment shop after cranking Tbars...your wheels will be toed in after lifting.

That...or if you and a buddy use a tape measure, you can adjust the tierods out yourself to give yourself aout 1/8-1/4" of toe in.

Grn-X / 2explore. PM me the address and time you guys are doing this. I wouldn't mind coming out to help if I'm not busy in the morning. As I'm going to be doing one myself in the near future.

I just did mine yesterday. It was very easy and kinds fun also. The ride is a little rougher but still handles well. I left about 1/2 inch from the bumpstops. I can barley fit my finger between them. Mabye I should drop it down a turn or two?

What time are y'all going to do this lift? I might stop to say hi since I will be just getting off work.

9am at Grn-X's abode in Surprise

I will be sawing logs at that time. Oh well, sorry I couldn't help. I am sure you two can handle it.

Someone PM me the address and I should hopefully be able to make it out there. Taking the wifes economical Elantra tho, rather than driving 120 miles in the X. See - Gas prices have affected me

PM sent Rinky

BAD NEWS GANG...
I just got a call from my Unit and I have to come in and work in the morning. Preperation we thought was completed before we leave sunday, now no longer seems to be done and I am going to have to go in at 6am to get it done . They estimate that we should be done by noon but I am not holding my breath. 2Xplore I am so sorry bro I was looking forward to helping you out. but Again my military obligations get in the way. I am sure you are not going to want to wait but if for some reason you dont get them in. we can do it as soon as I get home which will be labor day weekend, and as i mentioned i will have most of the month off.

no prob Mike....duty calls.
Thanks for the offer to help anyway.
Gabe, If you are still avail Sunday, I would take you up on it. If not, I can hold off.....the shackles are not going anywhere.

Sunday after 2pm I am available. gimme a call
623-810-5882

Wow, good job I signed on before I left. I was just about to head out the door!

Big thanks to Defibvt for calling me before i left the station and offering to help get this done this am.
Sorry no heads up rinky, but now that I know how to do this, I can come help you when you are ready, or you can come to my house near South Mountain and we can do yours when you get your shackles.
We had a bit of a learning curve, and had to call Gabe at work for pointers, but got it done, and turned out great.
I will post a pic later......now to get the new rubber this week....

Damn dude, you sure are spending some $$$ on your rig. Seeing how my interview goes this week before I invest any money in mine. If all goes well I might go for an 05 X.

An 05 would be sweet....hope the interview goes well for you.

I know.....about outta $$...lol, but go big or go home......

Guess I need to work some OT to support my habit.....or jsut stand on the street corner with a cardboard sign

"Need money for mods and gas.....pls help"

If all doesn't go so well, then I'll be sticking with mine and getting PML / Tires

finally....got the pic to work..

Scott talked me into removing the sway bar in back as well....time will tell if I like it of or not

I checked it out in your blog. Looks good.

Looks nice, sorry I was unable to help out. Glad scott was available to hook you up.

What size are those tires currently? I still have a little live left in my 31's, until I save enough for a new set after my PML.

Also. After researching the Calmini & SLR shackles it looks like the SLR have 2 options 1" or 2". Whereas Calmini are 1.5". I do like that flash of blue under there. Maybe I'll go for the same ones.
