What I need to get done before Winterfest

[John D]

Build living quarters in this...

Holy crap! Everyone at Winterfest could sleep in that thing. How long is it?

 

[Fullsizexj]

wait till he has to try to pull in to get fuel at a crowded gas station

 

[macgyvr]

50 ft. 3-7k axles. Two rigs and about 18 feet of living quarters is the plan.

Truck stops only.

Finish designs and build on rear bumper
Research Durango Brake Master cylinders and possibly replace XJ one

[poorboy87]

livers are over rated.

Mid stiffeners Done
lower control arms need replaced
trackbar
figure out the clunk in the rear
and 8.8 maybe

Add front pinion seal replacement

 

[87manche]

well I've gotten the wiring sorted.

I started on leaf springs today.
so the list:

finish rear springs/shackle mounts
figure out how to mount shocks
cut and replace the rockers
mount belly pan
do front frame stiffeners
change all the fluids. I think it had an oil change in 2010....

hopefully I can get the leaf spring stuff done next weekend.

 

[RNMedic]

Left shoulder rotator cuff repair, December 29th. If I can get my sons here may have a ZJ to drive instead of the XJ

 

[Prepmech]

New water pump
Change fluid in rear axle
Finish top, maybe make a rear window

 

[terrehautian]

As of now, rear hitch (buy and install) and fire putter outter.

 

[GoSlowGetStuck]

Buy a new Jeep, do stuff to it, and show up. This one is getting kind of stale. At this rate I'll have had 3 different ones at 4 different Winterfests.

That's the goal at least... still haven't unloaded my junk from Redbird so I guess technically I'm ready to go, months in advance (for once).

 

[ExTankerGuy]

New tires and cage...

 

[XJosh95]

Replace yet another battery mount
Get blower motor working
Oil change
Long arms
SYE
Trailer brake wired up in Meganne's dad's F250
Source a trailer







And maybe a super, secret surprise.

 

[Fore Wheeler]

I might relocate my battery to the rear.

We will see.

 

[85xjwoody]

I just need to make up my mind on which jeep to bring.:dunno:

 

[Fore Wheeler]

New blue.

 

[BRIANHO13]

I just need to make up my mind on which jeep to bring.:dunno:

Me too.....

 

[Fore Wheeler]

go big or stay home.

Hobag, you need to bring your linked rig so I can steal your ideas, not that I'm linking anytime soon.

 

[GoSlowGetStuck]

Me too.....

You sold the bus right? Figure out how you're going to tow it there yet?

If you bring the little Jeep there's a chance you'll regret not bringing the buggy, but if you do the opposite you probably won't regret leaving the little Jeep at home.

Unless the weather turns horrible, but I'm guessing you're used to that by now.

 

[seanR]

...there's a chance you'll regret not bringing the buggy...

So that is what that is called......

 

[Fullsizexj]

Hoisted the spare up in place so I can figure out how I want to make a mount for it, dang, try lifting a 40" mtr on a beadlock rim 55" into the air and laying it on the back of a buggy by yourself. Decided since I am gonna do trail riding this year instead of competing that I should start carrying a few things with me. Think I figured out a way to incorparate a small rack into it also. Also, Brian, you have to bring the buggy, I need you to show me what lines don't work again
