I just wanna see if everyone else has a list like I do of stuff they want to get done to thier rigs before TDS... Mine looks something like this:
Install full cage
put in D44 and accomplish spring over
Paint the heep desert tan....
Anyone else?
Scott

buy new laces......:(

Cage, Cab, fix the front, fix the rear, Marlin Ulitmate, new winch mount, lights, new rock lights, find some spare birfs or get super birfs, replace the spare starter, mount towbar mounts, get a hitch for the soccer mommy mobile, etc. etc. :D:D:D:D:D.

Finish electrical
Install steering column
Buy and install radiator (overflow canister?)
Bleed out and adjust brakes
Buy tires and wheels
Have cage welded and installed
Front and rear bumpers (this one is on fatkid:D )
Fire up and tune the motor
Who knows what else:confused:

So do you guys think I'm gonna make it:question:

Put gas in it!

Hmmm....
1. Finish mounting steering box.
2. Fuel Cell
3. Exhaust (I might not bother)
4. New carb (maybe)
5. Buy beer.

install my NO2 system :flipoff2:

seeing that my 89 cherokee is at this time bone stock, Here is my list of do's before TDS
1. swap in rear d-44
2. gear change to 456's
3. 5.5" lift
4. rocker slides
5. front and rear bumpers
6. 33" tires and new rims
7. possible winch

or if that can't be done in time, just load the 53' MB-38a on the trailer and tow it down instead.

Rich

On the YJ...
-Repair, and reinstall rear axle
-Replace 2 of the 4 leaf springs with "fresh" packs
-Fix misc little problems

On the CJ...
-Repair output seal on the Spicer 18
-change gear oil
-change u-joints
-finish some electrical

Unpack 1 of everything :(

things I need t do:

finish "plasti-gauging" the motor, adjust the valves, replace the cam plug, put it back in again and hope it don't knock this tme.... drive it at least 500 miles before I head out...

fix the rear bumper/tire carrier so it opens and closes without a crowbar

mount 2 tires on rims

replace leaf packs on the trailer



how it will actually happen:

put motor back in the way it is and break it in on the way down there. drive the trailer down with a broken leaf pack and change it there. keep using a crowbar to open the rear tire carrier...

buy beer and go :D





:usa:

Move 2,500 miles west...... :(

1. Install trailer under Jeep
2. Purchase new beer cans
3. Reposision my ass in truck

Well, Im glad Im not the only one that has a crap load of stuff to do before TDS.. All truth be told, I'll probably just get the cage in, and thats it... :(
Scott

Realistically? Swap in new front diff, mount 2 new tires, swap shocks, fix t-case crossmember (so the case doesn't rattle against the underbody under heavy load, like it does now), mount rear rocklights, load rig and GO.

Hopefully? Rear roll cage, bed bob.

Yup, Im gonna haul the Jeep and the motorhome down there.
On the way back Im gonna leave the Jeep and MH in Victorville, and rent a car back to Sacto, then take a rental car back to Victorville the following Thursday, pick up the Jeep/MH and drive to the CalROCS, area, and get ready to kick some ass. :D,

If I bust up the Jeep at TDS, then Ill have to change plans. :eek:

Well, I picked up my full cage today.
It gets painted black tommorow before work, then I need to get the mounting feet welded on to the front and rear, and in she goes. I pick up the D44 rear on Sunday, Hoping to have it in and SOA on Feb 2nd.. then that leaves just the rig getting a desert tan color.. and Im there! Now I still need to work on teh GF's parents to convince them to let her come!

WTF? Sounds like you are losing it Ken.:flipoff2: :flipoff2:

uhhh...Let's see..Hmmm...where do I start.(I say while I stand in my garage staring at my naked frame:eek: )...I don't think I'll have enough time:(

What sort of talk is that? Grips can do anything, in any amount of time, under any conditions.:D Get your best boy to round up a crew and get it.

Just finished swaping powersteering pumps, put in a new fuel pump. now I need to figure out an E-brake, get me some rockrails, and find some highway tires for it. I'd also would lke to find a front locker for it, but we'll see.

By the way if anyone has a 35 spline D60 detroit they dont need let me know. :D
