I just need to keep mine together, it's ready to go.

Now, if we want to talk about all the things I need to do for the event so the rest of you can have a great time, that's another big list.

no matter what them little ricer boys tell you it won't make your jeep go any faster wayne.

I think mine got faster, I got the flames.
DONE: Slickrock; I installed a new front Ected locker; scavenged parts from front to keep my rear Electrac locking; New Alloy USA front shafts with the XJoints; Replaced my antenna w/ glue; reset the Staun deflators; Balanced w/ Dyna Beads; took apart steering so wheel sets right side up; Sewed cover on new steering wheel; Replaced Bushwacker I smashed on Pritchet w/ Wayne; Mounted a 2nd fire extinguisher; made seperate GPS SD cards for each state; sealed Rancho shock leak;
Stiil: get some of the scratches out from all this Canadian green shit; Repair all I break in MT & Co the next 5 weeks; fix the sunroof leak; get & in my axle limit strap; get beer in Montana.

1.) CO2
2.) Traction bar (have the material)
3.) install rear locker and gears (have gears, buy locker)
4.) install alloy usa x-joints (have them)
5.) Adjust front bumpstops or relocate windshield wiper reservoir and cut more.
6.) Front limit straps
7.) make frame stiffeners (if I have time)
8.) Keep it together

1) Install new Chromo Heims - Front Finished - not sure I need to do the rears just yet.
2) Grind off un-wanted rear/front trackbar mounts - cut off - need a little more grinding - not sure if this is going to be done on not - not really needed.
3) Install new limit straps to the shock mounts rather then chains to little tab mounts - finished and looks good.
4) Get on board air working - finished - lots of little leaks in the cage - not sure this will get fixed at this time - at least I have air.
5) Clean up XJ - Took out about 15lbs of trash/dirt/oil/rugs/carpet - looks a little better but could use more.
6) Fix steering - still needs done - have all the parts - nothing major will have this finished next week.
7) TEST RUN - need to make sure everything is ok before the big trip.

And.....................?

 

[Kejtar]

And.....................?

Don't worry I'll be there... but I might have to dissapear in the middle and then come back. Airport might be involved....

 

[exoedxj]

More issues found - more issues fixed.

1) ARB solenoid - Leaking badly - ARB compressor cycling every 10sec - Fixed - Now it cycles about every 1min or so - But I am getting 90 weight back up through the solenoid. I will possibly work on this later.
2) Heat in the engine compartment - New Vents (louvers) arrived yesterday - They will be installed tonight.
3) Hood Pins not fitting correctly - Fixed
4) Tires are way unbalanced - Dynabeads ordered - Will install them once they get here.
