Pull both axles to have them regeared to 4.88. ARB going in the rear along with new shock mounts, and hopefully disk brakes. Front is getting an Artec truss, inner C gussets, and lower control arm mounts. If I get far enough it's also getting WJ knuckles, cross over steering, OTA tracker, and IRON4x4 Fab long arms. If I have the money I'll then go to 35s with at the least chromoly shafts, of possibly RCVs. Also need to wire up the light bars I put on it, and do its yearly fluid changes.
 
Nut and bolt suspension
Replace positive battery cable
Fix what breaks before then
 
Put gas in LJ...

Put gas in JT...

First decide on one

Do I want to wheel easy stuff and just hang out and have a ball, or do I want to do some hard stuff and have a ball?
If I decide to do easy stuff and bring the small one I need front and rear recovery points, better tires, and at least a front locker. I prolly should protect the rockers too.
If I wanna do really hard cool stuff I need at minimum to fix the rear end in the big one. Would be nice to fix the rockers and front doors.

Put gas in it & load it on the trailer.

Well I just cut the exhaust I hacked together so now it needs some form of exhaust. I'd like to install the front locker I've had since like 2015 that I always put off. Other than that I'm gonna drive it this year so I don't forget gas again.
 
The jeep is at the muffler shop right now. Locker finished up and I installed, and removed a track bar bracket. With it on the track bar hit the tie rod and I had almost no turning radius. New plate sticker and a full tank of gas. Damn near 400 bucks just to hang out in a wet cold quarry without ****ers!
