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!
 
A few things I would like to get done before SocalFest.

Frame stiffeners
Rock sliders
Truss D30
Flip steering
OTA trac bar
Rear shackle relocator brackets
 
short list of things:

Finish cage
build new back bumper, tire carrier
Build shock hoops
modify front axle brackets for coilovers
put together new upper link
Assemble rear axle
Rear shock brackets on axle
Set up rear brakes and brackets
install bump stops and limit straps and shocks/coilovers
new tires on the beadlocks
re-wire the back half of the jeep
wire/plumb ARBs

I'm sure I'm forgetting a few things...
 
I guess I will need to clean my air filter and check the fluid levels....
 
Finish plumbing the rear brakes
plumb ARB and install tank, plumb OBA to tank
swap in new u bolts
Install front HP 9"
Get prothanes dialed in
drive 500 miles, change lube
install rear shafts
 
just rebuild the D30. needs a real locker. install the WJ stuff. make a new trackbar. truss it. id really like it done for KOH. but almost guaranteed it will be dome by april
 
Need to:
Replace damaged front Ox locker cable;
Swap stock rear brake hose for longer JY hose;
Install new steering stabilizer;
Do front end alignment, or have it done by a shop.

The trick is finding the time for all this.
 
Need to calibrate CB after getting a new antenna. Always been an issue
Install control arm drop brackets
Replace power steering pump- under warranty
Replace transmission fluid lines. One has a small leak. Lines have about 200K on it... needs to be replaced.
Fill CO2 Tank
Make sure all lights work and no new fluid leaks.
 
need to finish the 8.8 swap
lock the 8.8
get spare shafts for the 8.8
get some tires
do some body work to fit the tires
build a spare driveshaft

make some money selling old tires, axle, etc to pay for trip.
 
I've been told I need to show up and I am several thousand miles away, my jeep is on 3 wheels and a high lift with half the d30 torn apart, with a bad starter.
