What are your plans for summer

FatXJ · Apr 4, 2003

Jeep plans for summer anybody else got some?

Mine are as follows:
custom tube winch bumper- starting this very soon
patch floor-waiting for good weather
fix rust- waiting for good weather
another 1" of lift- yep it's still snowing

I finally got the tube bender and welder and drill press so money is the only thing I need to get the materials for
custom T/C skid
Rollcage- at least around the front seats
rockrails
possibly welding the front diff with a manual axle disco
Winch? we'll see how business goes and what I break.

Swapping in an XJ 4:10 D30 and a 4:10 8.8 rear. Lockright the front. Might lift roughly 1" along with this. Also looking at a rear bumper tire carrier, SYE, control arms, trac bar, gas tank and t-case skid, weighing rocker options. My money situation is going to determine what past axles and lockers gets done. Hoping to get some of at a pull it yard, or used.

I was thinking some of those 24 inch blades with some chromed knock-offs. Maybe some of those swanky neon tubes and a huge rear wing. Oooo, and I saw some lighted fuzzy dice at Kragens the other day.

I use beer and Jeep in the same category. I always have a cold brew when wrenching unless it's cold outside.

I guess I am lucky because I can get steel at really cheap prices. Our club just bought 400ft of 2"x1/4" angle for $140. So I am going to have to order about 100ft of 1.75" tube. The real money problem is paying rent and stuff for college. I still have the Jeep as a second priority. I wouldn't be doing the cage and rails if I didn't get such good prices on steel.

I hope to have my front axle together by this summer. Then hopefully we'll be getting ready for elk season. I'll be heading down to the gunsmith to talk to him about a 280 Improved built on a Mauser action. Other project ideas incude removing the side glass and getting soft windows that I can snap down into place when the monsoons roll in and getting my Hellas installed & wired up
