To-do List

I haven't had a minute to work on mine yet between the clutch blowing up on the Dodge and Kate's wedding shower this weekend.

Hopefully be able to knock off the few things I have to do in May.
 
My to-do list:

-Register for NACFest
-Mount Fire Extinguisher
-First Aid Kit - Check
-Install CB Radio Not doing
-Install front locker
-Install ZJ tie rod
-Install SYE
-Install IRO Double Sheer Track Bar
-Paint stuff when the weather gets warmer - Check

My list got substantially larger from when I wrote the above. Should be able to get everything done in a few weekends though.
 
So do the rest of us

dude, im not even going to entertain you anymore.

another reason i got out of building something. the next couple years are going to causing me to divert my time elsewhere. you really dont have much to do though.
 
Stuff I will probably do:
-Sector shaft brace/winch skid - NOPE
-Double sheer drag link ends -TOO LAZY
-Change oil
-Grease stuff and tighten bolts
-Pull front cover to check Locrite and change fluid
-Finish building and swap in new driveshafts, current ones become spares - In progress
-Find a pair of spare 14b shafts and long side 60 shaft - Got the 14b shafts

Stuff I probably won't do:
-Get gauges working
-Get AW4 shifter working - NOPE
-Fix tires instead of just filling them every trip - Bought Creepies instead

Tow rig stuff:
-Bump timing
-Slightly bigger injectors - Pricing out a new set
-Fix dragging DS rear brake

What do you have to do for the shower? :laugh:
I didn't do a thing, in fact, I think I was working on my Jeep that day prepping it for FC!

I get it, just keep showing up to the events and don't drop off the face of the planet like some people do.

I have to go help her bring some stuff home since she just has her tiny car. That's about it.

Actually, I do have plans to go down to Gary's and fix my dipstick that day though. So I can check that off the list after this coming weekend :laugh:

You can't get rid of me that easily.

Use thicker oil and a bottle of stop leak

yeah I know thats a good short term solution. I have 85w 140 in there now i think... i dont know if stop leak and thicker oil is good for the auto locker, probably doesn't matter. Or i just replace the seals....I have had the axle shafts in and out allot, dealing with hubs, u-joints and various issues....
 
ah i did it anyway....
