Lets get a list going and remember THE PARTS GUY has the best prices and last I checked helped members work on there rigs. I would like to know what kinda deal he has for us between now and then.
 
A. Get Avery to finish some crap on my rig.
2. Finish the rest of the crap on my rig.
c. Test run locally.
IV. Fix the crap I find wrong on my test run.
5. Load truck, hitch trailer, load jeep on trailer.
F. Drive.
vii. Enjoy.
8. Repeat as soon as possible
 
This is gonna be a close one. Avery should have my rails, skids, and front driveline in by the 4th. That leaves me to swap oil pans, change out a windshield, and a rear window, install the camper shell, and what not by the trip. And I work 60+ per week. Hope I make it.
 
Want to install a t-case skid, chop the front fenders and add coil spacers to make up for my heavy front bumper and sagging springs.

If I have time I will try to figure out where my mystery noise is coming from up front. Hopefully nothing serious.

Got a trailer... Now I need to get some trailer brakes and fix trailer wiring

Lol we are on the same path....

Check here for brakes, cheapest I could find for 10" at $59 for a pair: http://www.southwestwheel.com/store/p-4089-imported-10-electric-brake-assemblies.aspx

They sell the other sizes and drums too if you need them. Doesn't make much sense to just replace shoes and magnets when you can get the whole loaded backing plate for less $$. I pulled mine apart last weekend and needed a couple. Luckily the drums, bearings, etc, were all good shape.

I replaced the wiring plug to a 7 way so I don't have to use an adapter on the truck and added a constant hot feed for a breakaway battery charger.

Next up is welding on some D rings for strap anchor points.
 
Crap. Just found out im looking for a trailer too. The one I normally borrow is being redecked and won't be done in time. :(
