Shorter shocks in the rear.
Trim fenders, put on Rusty's flares.
On Board Air.
Get the Optima charged back up.
Rent trailer.
Empty poo tanks on Big 'Nuff.


Or just make sure I've got the gas to make the trip in the 97.

[IllianaXJ]

Decide if I will bring the Jeep or not. If so:

Swap CVs for ujoint shafts.
Eyeball the alignment.
Check front end popping.
Check fluids.
Figure out idle problem.
Figure out if it's roadworthy enough to drive to Attica and back.

If not:

Put gas in the Avalanche.

Why would you shorten your control arms?...

Because I swapped in a dana 44 that someone had already fabbed and my cross member that I fabbed is already done. Instead of moving mounts, the easiest solution seems to shorten the arms. It is so far forward my panhard will cram into the diff and the steering won't even cross enough to meet my pitman arm.

 

[Rev Den]

Paint Jeep.

The new door does not match.

Right now I have a Jeep I could load up and go; but that would be too easy. Ripping it apart for new suspension, 231-300 doubler, tons, seats & harness, and necessary cagework to make it all fit.

Big 'amount of money to wheel twice a year' Hank ...... WF is worth it.

Moving along ahead of schedule and using this forum as a scorecard. 2013 is the year of wheeling.

Big 'happy' Hank

I have no idea what I'll need to do before then. I have two XJ's right now that I could take, only one has no rear recovery point at all at the moment. After last weekend I now have a full size spare mounted and balanced for each Jeep. I'm really considering selling the 01 I just bought and just wheeling the 99 I have and just buying another stock XJ to daily instead of the 99. Oh yea, I picked up a "winter" first aid kid on Groupon a couple days ago so thats one less thing I need.
