Drilled the hole through the frame for the upper bracket. Driller inside the frame underneath the vehicle with a uni-bit. Then took a square all the way around the frame with a sharpy. Measured how fall the up the hole was, marked the hole on the other side and drilled. The bolt went in perfect.

Looking sexy! That electric blue is something I can't wait to see under my rig someday!!

Thank you. It's coming along slow but surely. I'm wondering now if me dropping both break lines at the same time was a big mistake :thinking:

Just make sure you have all the material the first time :thumb:

Lol, no biggy. I was just trying to bait someone into saying, "I am, and don't call me Shirley!"

I'm not a speller by any means. I guess that way I fix things for a living.

Much needed beer. If you guys haven't tried this beer, I highly recommend it. It's dark and awesome.

I'm pretty sure I recall hearing you say the coilovers we're going to be easy

It is when the material is there :rolleyes2: and the instructions are straight forward ;)

The rears are more work(due to track bar relocation and rockstar install/stock brackets cut off) but an easier install IMHO. The fronts require a little more modification to make them work, but nothing too terrible. Lots of trimming, test fitting, trim some more, test fit again, etc. Just be careful with the passenger side battery tray. I had to cut the front upper bracket quite a bit in combination with cutting a lot of the ribbing/plastic...and just a tad bit into the battery tray). Just take your time, take deep breaths, and youll be just fine! Itll all be over fairly soon!

I appreciate the vote of confidence. I'll have the Jeep back up and running this week, all the frustrations will pass, enjoying the new equipment and get a write up on this installation squared away. :rock:

Get busy on that write up, if all goes as planned I'll have mine as soon as next week.

Next week?? Hope your getting all the material.

Called Northridge and received a call from EVO MFG. Getting the material shipped out today and hope it gets in this week. He answered all my questions on the material and parts. Sounds like there might be some design flaws on the top of the tower, bolts and clearances. I'll have to look into it a bit more and might have to take a shock out again....:grayno:

It's funny the first couple hundred kits went on just fine. It's your lack of experience not the part.
