Does anyone know a good back-yard mechanic to do work on my Jeep
« on: September 07, 2010, 06:31:12 PM »
Hey - Just wondering if anyone knows of a good backyard mechanic to do work on my Jeep. I have a 2001 Wrangler with 35" rubber, winch, 4" lift and I'm looking for someone to fix my winch and possibly do some work on my transfer case, install the odd accessory and make sure it stays trail ready. I'm not mechanically inclined and hoping to find "a guy" who doesn't charge $125/hr to help me maintain my ride after wheelin'. Thanks.

I am not a backyard mechanic, but nowhere near 125 an hour.  You can send me a pm and I can give you a quote or answer any questions that you may have.

Good luck

Sometimes even I need a gentle wake-up-call with a 2x4.
