So what's it this year?

I need to finish building my 231 case to replace my dying 207. Also, hoping to get some long arms installed and go up an inch in lift height.
 
JEEP:

-Frame stiffies

-Rocker replacement

-Tie 1 and 2 together

-Build a new bumper

-Install winch

TRUCK:

-Build some type of shelf in the back for my heater to sit on

-Take the topper off and put new tape on it to seal it up

-Cut a sheet of OSB to lay in the bed so the air matress doesn't get cut.

-Put the heater back there when we get some cold weather and see how well this topper holds heat.

You forgot Disc Brake swap.:D
 
same shock and mount problem that we felt in our asses last year?

Yup.....only a shock mount broke off somewhere between here and Utah. Mono shock!
 
Ordered wheels & tires wed, $1400 worth, if I come it will be in the princess, NO wheeling in her. will need a pass seat, anyone, anyone? Flex? Also can anyone tell me what I have to pay for camping, eating with the club, hanging out with the folks, but NOT wheeling my baby, soon to be on 35"s
 
I might have a seat, to early to tell but most the time my passengers bail before WF.
 
Figure out why I now have 2-low, since Moab. It's something I always wanted, that wasn't available for the 242, but can't be a good thing thing when it happens on its own.

Replace front detroit with yukon zip locker.

Brew a bunch of beer.

Upgrade stereo system so I can't hear volbeat...
 
All I have to do is warranty my broken Yukon stub shaft and install, that should be all I have to do for a change. Well maybe straighten out some sheetmetal. :D
