Anyone ever do the whole poly bushing swap on a TJ?  Just would like a rough time estimate and tools needed to perform...or is it just a huge pain in the arse and worth having it installed profesionaly>  

I haven't done a TJ before, but it shouldn't be to bad if they are fairly new. I redid all the bushings on my 76 Chevy and everything was rusted and stuck together.  Are you planning on doing the body bushings and suspension bushings? You have a 1997 TJ, right? I'd say with a buddy it could be done in a Saturday with out too much trouble.  If you are doing body mounts, you'll need a floor jack and some lumber to raise the body while you swap the bushings (like putting in a body lift) for the suspension bushings a few large sockets and a 3 lb sledge should work OK, or a hydraulic press.  I made one from some 2X2X1/4 angle iron and a 10T hydraulic bottle jack. It works pretty good, it only cost me $20 or less to build and I've pressed axle and pinion bearings on and off, piston wrist pins in, U joints, etc. Press or bash the old bushings out (like swaping the bearing caps in a U joint) use a pipe or socket slightly smaller on the driveing side and one slightly larger on the support side. Lube up the new bushings and press them in and reinstall. Lube them well, poly bushings can squeak if not lubed up good.

Good luck
