What do YOU need to do before NWFest 2010 ?

[AIbandit]

So I see these posts, and they're pretty in depth.

I doubt I would really accomplish anything before NWFest, but if I showed up with my Jeep that's mostly stock outside of accessories and lift/tires, would it still be fun??

I assume it's not all hardcore stuff, and theres still tons of socializing.

I've never been to naches before but here are the requirements.

Vehicle Requirements: NWF is open to all vehicles. We'll have runs for all steups. Here's a list of items that all vehicles need to have.

- Full size spare tire*
- First aid kit
- Fire Extinguisher (visibly charged)
- Secured Battery (no bungees to arc out)
- Front tow point
- Rear tow point
- Tow strap with no metal hooks

I would vote for going. Its a great way to meet folks and get future build ideas, talk tech face to face, ask questions about your rig / there rig, and yes... there will be some socializing... especially when the sun goes down :confused1

deffinately good times on and off the trail !

few more came up for me this past week

*try to get rid of the play in my steering - already checked all components are tight
the play is from the steering gear itself - the shaft rotates a bit before the gear does.
im gonna start with the worm gear adjustment as dictated by the FSM
getting under the jeep and checking my steering components i noticed my trans is leaky, so:
*transmission filter + new fluid
*new fluid in the xfer case

Alloy shafts
find some 35" tires
rear e-locker
new engine
rocker replacements
tube fenders

Realistically, maybe a new engine will happen. Everything else if I decide to not buy a motorcycle for some reason.

I thought you liked that rig because it ran so good and had much lower mileage then the white one?

1. swap front brake rotors.
2. May adjust castor some more?
3. May install a steering cooler?
4. Check tire pressure in XJ, Trailer and tow rig.

Well my high RPM driving style seems to have gotten the best of me again. She leaks like a dog now. Maybe I need to stop revving the engine and doing so many burn outs...

uhhhhh Slacker:explosion back to :repair:.

 

[nightfoam]

Yeah yeah. I don't have a great space to work. It seems like everytime I get somebody who can help me putting stuff on (ya know, heavy s**t) my roommate needs the garage for her architecture stuff. My goal for the week is to put those on though.

 

[Mc2KXJ]

I cut my control arm mounts cut off yesterday and I'm ready to install my long arms and then install the new front axle and 1 ton steering, hopefully today. I installed the new rear axle on Saturday. Now I just need to get extended brake lines for the front and I should be good.
