I wanted to be able to wheel around Moab with my doors on. The only way that will happen is if I cut a junker up and graft it on to what I have left.

It could happen....

If it's done, bring the MJ!

I'm ready to go. Nothing to do except for any possible damage that might happen on the Rubicon in two weeks.

Corrected ;)

Anyways, what I gotta do is get my front axle straightened out and steering fixed up. Otherwise then that I think that everything else is good.
 
Its wayyyy to early for me to even think about what will need to be done.
Everything works fine right now....
but I will continue to wheel up right up to the point of loading up
for the trip to Moab.
So, at this point, who knows?
:dunno:
 
First of all, I need to sober up.

That's no small task...

1:06am
