How ill-prepared are you?

In following the usual tradition of listing work needed I'll start...


All I need to take the red Jeep is shocks and to fix the gaping exhaust leak I picked up on Swamp Lake. After that I'm ready go.

Maybe I'll even get it ready before the zero hour!

YOu even take measurements for shocks, jerk?
 
Just got done installing the d30 aussie locker a couple of hours ago =)

Things left to do:
Paint the header panel and fender (this one just keep getting put off, it probably will get pushed back again)
Paint the bare metal roof rack, courtesy of nates 4x4 =)
Trim the rear fenders
Install the CB
Trick the GF into believing christmas is in feburary and that I should get an RE 5.5 kit
 
It's all back in one piece now, but I'm not driving 2900 miles with a 10 foot ginpole and a dana 60 dangling from the front bumper so I'll have to pass.
 
Leaky fuel filter
leaky fuel pump housing
leaky exhaust manifold
running hot
tires have seen better days.
 
Leaky as in lose? Or cracked?

1A auto sells a good stock replacement for around $100

I am running a 1aauto manifold. its good, just check to make sure the mounting surface is true before you mount it... I had to swap the first one out for a replacement
 
So who all wants to do a work day at the shop? We can bring out a BBQ and ether everyone pitch in a few bucks for some meat, or everyone brings their own stuff to throw on the grill.

We have two work bays (possibility of two post lift access, pending), plenty of alley parking and lot parking, assortment of tools/equipment and can tackle nearly any small projects.

Most important question.. WHEN? Pretty sure a weekend in march is best for me.
