    usually about a 6 hour project, depending on :beer: consumption and proper tools for the job. its good to have a helper though, even if all they do is run to get the first aid kit R)

    Just like every 6-8 hour Jeep project, it will take two + days.

    If you have to ask how long it will take there is no telling how long it will take
    do you have hydraulic lift equipment. How many clutches, have you replaced in the past. Will any bolts snap off, what other problems, may you run into
    the tub and doghouse have been removed from my Jeep and my transmission has just been rebuilt. I have an engine hoist and a floor jack with absolutely nothing in my way. And I have absolutely no idea How long it will take me to put it back together again. Just one of those questions that can't be answered accurately.

    I've spent days on jobs that should only take an hour or two (stupid knuckle fittings... they STILL are stuck) and 30 minutes on a job that I was planning to take most of the day (tracking down and fixing some shorts in my wiring). There's just no way in telling. Jeeps are the only thing I've run into that's more fickle than women. They do things you'll never understand, even when you treat them right they do things that make you angry, and they demand a whole lot of your time and money.
