To-do List

MoparManiac said:
Might as well keep the tradition going of myself starting this thread :laugh:

- Swap out oil pan dipstick for locking one
- Spend some time tuning the motor (ideally I'd love to get on the dyno)
- Swap out iron heads for aluminum heads (pending my uncles time)
- Brace air bumps back to frame
- Fix leaky tires
- Get spare leaf springs
- Fix rear diff breather

Well...

I dropped the pan and welded in the bung for the new dipstick the other day.

Probably not going to get to finish any of this until after the wedding.

I have a few days off after we get back from our honeymoon so I'll probably try to tackle most of it at that point.

stick a big dumb transfer case in there- like 10 minutes
build a couple driveshafts - like 2-3 hours
get the ecu tuned - give it to some dude on a rainy day to tune
slap all my wiring in there - couple hours
finish the fuel return line. - 20 minutes
make a crossover bar for the coilover towers- make ross do it
route my shifter cables- hour maybe?
mount the last two 40's on wheels. - 45 mins
route the front brake lines and bleed - hour
make a clutch line and bleed - hour
fill everything with fluid. - hour
Swap out coilover springs for something lower.- half hour
Charge Coilovers with nitrogen - half hour drive

hope everything works

maybe front air bumps?

EDIT: put times on everything to make myself feel better.
