Why not, I'll update this thread even though I haven't been watching it!
Now for the stuff I still gotta do...
1: Install external voltage regulator to replace quirky MobiArc
2: Wash clothes, pack clothes.
3: Decide what shoes to wear (oh it's just such an important decision!)
4: Get beer
5: Pack beer
6: Put it in D

You don't need tube for Big Bear. Quit being a pansy and get your crap together.

Come on, Geoff... Have you looked under "P" in the dictionary lately? I think there's a pic of Cracker on one of the first few pages =)
Love you Cracker--get your junk on the trail, already!! See you there =)

Agreed. BiG Bear is about as easy as it gets.
I made it a point not to wheel this thing until it gets the tube so in order for me to go I must get it tubed. I will have about 75 % of the tube done before Thursday and I will work on the rest when I return.
:wave:
Yes. I worked on it for 12 hours today and should get another 12 hours in tomorrow. I will be up there. I am thinking early Friday morning now (vs. Thursday night).

Head is on & torqued, rocker arms on, manifold... wait, there's no dowels in the new head. Try to find them Thursday, old ones don't want to come out. New radiator is in, both fan/shroud combos, less hoses, can't find thermostat I bought a couple of months ago... New Brown Dog motor mounts are in (boy, are these easier than my son's ZJ!). New injector o-rings.
So, still to go:
-Clean valve cover & install
-Install manifolds after dowels are in
-Install new trans cooler
-Install thermostat
-Put cold air kit back in
-Getting tired. Just want to be done. See you all there, I swear...

Sometimes :shhh:
I got enough cage work done at this point so all I need to do is clean up the tubes and paint them and trim the panels to fit. I need to get my tool chest reinstalled in it's new location. I still have to swap out the tranny pan and clean up all the ATF saturating my undercarriage. Finally I need to pack.....
Not enought hours in a day.

I still need to:
Install new shoes on the 44, and bleed the brakes
Install new rear u-joint, and re-connect drive shaft
Fill pumpkin up the rest of the way with Lucas gear oil.
Modify exhaust so that I don't melt MY leaf spring bushing.
Modify my front exhaust so it doesn't smoke like an old man at the race track.
MAYBE swap my driver door out for the last black one. Maybe.
Reinstall rear tires/wheels.

Pretty much.
Putting off going shopping for another hour or so, once I do that I'm done.
