BigJerm:
Meg is going to be out of town for a week so I will drive her Liberty while I take the jeep apart. The texture paint I used just flakes off to easy. I plan to go with the flat black enamel that I have been touching up with. It is holding strong. Been talking to AllSouth about prices for a DS and SYE.

Do you have a picture that shows the location for the tack welds?  I need to do this.

I take it the U joints need to be removed for this?

Yeah Tony, they can do it on the lift while it is all together.  Allsouth did it to my 1st JK Rubi, and will do it to my new used one too.... as soon as I get some parts in.

Yup. Like Doug and Richard said. No need to take anything apart. It will just make the welding a little easier in my case since they are already out. Depending on the weld height though, I may end up having to remove the knuckles to install them.

Looks like this, except most people tack them in 2-3 places.

Krawler00:
I gotta tack mine as well. Had it done on the old 30. 1 more little "safety net" you can add cheaply. {toast}

If you have full circle clips, I wouldn't worry.

If you could wait until next week you could slide down to the shop and Randy will tig them, we are hammered this week though.
