went to a new DIY auto shop in town tonight
 
www.autobayz.com

I mounted and balanced 4 32" tires on the heepie, all in all it cost me about 58 bucks but they had to teach me to do it and being my first time I thought that was alright.

I'm a little mixed on the place, it's nice, they have ASE techs on staff to help, but it's a little spendy.

cool stuff. DIY beadblasting for $13 an hour with the minibay. You could do tons of stuff in that much time.

I don't know why I didn't get a minibay, he could have saved me $24 right there.

same, the bay is 20/hr and then they charge a couple bucks per wheel to mount and balance

erm this is a jeep, you put the jack under the diffs and do both front/rear at the same time.

Speaking of Jeeps i need to check the trans fluid in mine tomorrow. You know off hand if jeep manual trans take gear oil or ATF?

depends on the trans, there's like 4 manuals.
usually you can run ATF in the winter and 75/90 in the summer.

on the bright side the 32's look niiiiiice

they do rub a bit at lock though.

no a standard bay is without a lift, a hoist bay is 25/hr
a lot of that is time I spent fucking around trying to figure out the equipment.
