Just curious as to how preparations and reparations are coming for folks. I've got a daunting list my self, or so it seems. What all do you have left to do?

Motor Mounts
Disco holders
LCA skids
LCAs
2-low kit
SYE and DS
Wire CB
TPS
CO2 tank mount

Lookin forward to Moab, but gotta get through all this jazz first. Good luck on your projects.

-swap out the front coils
-check the alignment and center the steering wheel

I should be ready! :woohoo:
 
Finding a campsite and possibly get my doors off! Anyone wanna run something on Sunday the 10th?

LOL... you're kidding right? I got LOTS to do (but nowhere near as much as I had 2 months ago).
OK, here's my list, not necessarily in the order of importance and I know that some items will get skipped
- reinforce rear bumper (it's a temp thing I did for the Con and I wanted to redo it over the summer for the Moab, but well.... XJ rebuild took all my time).
- reinforce front bumper (a quick side to side brace on the top)
- cut rear quarter panels and fold them
- find as many threads to post in as I can
- redo (redisgn and finish) my rear cargo "platform"
- redo my hilift mount for the roof rack (ripped it off and bent it up during the roll)
- get a new bottle jack (old one is too short now)
- mount someplace the studsfor holding up the jks qd2 when disconnected
- make rear bumpstops (gonna have to do a plate on top of the spring pack and have it stick out... what bugs is I was at a steel shop yesterday and I forgot to buy some plate!)
- fix my gear shifter knob
- make stupid posts
- find my rear towhook insert
- find my front shackles
- I love making stupid posts
- mount the jerry can to the roof rack (figure out a permanent mount)

and probably plenty more that i forgot to mention here.

Everything but panic, since I'm all ready doing that and still nowhere to stay. :eye:
Bah, I offered..but he knows I snore....
 
Did the rear end swap (27 to 29-spline 8.25) and No-Slip install last weekend. Thanks Remi! Did the front No-Slip install today. Got the CO2 tank filled. Bought a fire extinguisher and first aid kit.

What's left? Install my new UCAs, relocate front brake lines, adjust TC linkage, reinstall engine skid and front skid, get my Hi-Lift back from a friend. Also have to get my mountain bike ready.

I think there's more... Every time I go to Remi's house, he points out things on my Jeep that need attention.
