What ya gotta get done before WF?

Put in new t-case
Regear front
Make sure its not gonna explode
Fix CB
Put new reflector housing on my broken lightforce
New exhaust
Drive to Byron's to get my other driveshaft
 
I need to drag my trailer inside and give it a once over.

Mount my big fire extinguisher.

I keep looking at my front axle trying to figure a way to build a guard around my steering ram, I haven't come up with a good way yet. I think I need to set in my easy chair with a few more beers to come up with a plan.

That's about all that's left. I might check the fluids too.
 
order new rims, tires, lift, fix idle, fix master brake cylinder, fix clunking noise as you turn left, save up gas money...get a winch, front and rear bumper complete with tow points, install bushwackers and safari basket, mount cb radio antenna, buy and mount cb radio, tune cb radio...
 
swap the D35 for an 8.25.

Install new rear shocks.

Sadly the rear shocks will probably be more PITA than swapping an axle.
 
Im hoping to make it this year. If so the jeep needs.

Drivers floor pan patched
Reseal the front axle
Front Ujoints
front brakes
Cb work
LOF

The Maybe list
Front axle brackets

Drivers window regulator
