I have done several sets for fellow Jeeps in the area. I wish I had enough time to do more. This is not something you can do without watching and learning from another.
As far as tools goes... you need a bearing seperator, 2 jaw puller, maybe a case spreader, a hydro press, torch wrench for ft-lbs and 0-25 in-lbs, callipers and a lot of hand tools.
Quote from "joelove"Great Job Aaron! What's the booty for 1st place? Anything more than
a pat on the back?

Quote from "bmf24"What? no thanks to your spotter or pit crew????
I just finished some dinner and remembered I forgot to mention the names of all that helped. I guess I am a little fried.
A big thanks to my spotter Don (Jump150) for 2 great days of directions. Also, thnaks to Chris and Sean for busting thier butts, in the heat, helping Team Mall Crawler and Up and Over during the 2 day event. Another big thanks for all of the DEJA support.
That's right folks I took first place this weekend in the Stock class. It started out a little rough the first day, but one good run put me in a solid second place. The second day went better for me and worse for my competitors, so I was able to sneak a win out by 3 points.
It was a very difficult weekend as far as the why the courses were laid out. Many of the people on my class did not even finish a single obsticle. I did roll on my side today, but luckily the Jeep was not even damaged. I highly recomend a cage from my sponser at http://www.upnover.com. I recovered from the roll and scored pretty good on the last obsticle to pull out the win.
I'll talk more in detail latter. I need to get some sleep.
Well, the rear axle has been shorted and it will be installed today. I will be ready to roll this weekend :).
Quote from "Icky"Plus I already bought the very overpriced cap and gown and we already have plans for the day and reservations for dinner at night all set up. On a side note, can you believe for my parents to stay at a hotel for 2 nights, the bill will be almost $400???? Hotels in the area charge way too much and take advantage of graduation weekend
I should have had called my parrents. They live up the street from Penn Cater and probably would have rented a room at half the cost. 
Scuff them up with some sand paper and spray paint them. It's that easy.
It's good that you are doing this, but did you pick your dates based on the Neuroc dates??? You do know that your runs correspond to the first 3 events.
I won't leave you behind. I am curious to see how the new trailer pulls fully loaded.
BTW, I invited Sean, sorry :).
This thread is worthless without PICS. 
Didn't have time to find that cool banner.
So far it is deffinately me, Don and you. I am picking up a friend, who is just riding, in Norristown, but that will only take 5 minutes because he will be at the Home Depot right off the exit. I don't know yet if Joe L. is able to make it.
Andrew, it looks ike Chris, bmf, is not going so there should be shotgun room if you want it. I should have enough room in the truck.
I guess we can still meet at the Wawa so we can get supplies for the day. I want to get up there by 8:30 at the latest so we should leave the Wawa at 6 am sharp.
I should be there.
Chris you better get a locker front and rear and some extra Berfiels if you want to do Vodoo.
Aaron
I am pretty sure this is going to be a Sat. event. Sorry Joe. I think I am going to need Sun to finish up on some of the Neuroc requirements.
Thank you for all of your support. It should be a fun weekend.
Aaron
You might want to try Kellers in Elkton. Andrew (blueJ and Joe Lovett have used them.
Almost all og the stearing stablizers and shocks come out of a Monroe factory. They are about the only manufacturer of shock products left. Companies just spec ot their own requirements and put thieir own stickers on them.
More on topic... It sounds like you had a good day. Unfortunately, mine was not as good. I am not ready for the Sat ride. I am going to have to finish tomorrow.
I have had u-bolts loosen on me. I just make a habit of checking them once and a while.
Sorry guys, but it looks like I will not be making it on Sat. I turns out I could not get my Jeep done. I just ran out of time. I think I can finish tomorrow and go up on Sat, but that is still up in the air.
Aaron
