Always fun to see what people want to accomplish on their rigs before an event like this. So let's hear it!!
As for me the list is
Long arms
Mount fox's
Frame stiffeners
maybe steering
Still need more bump stopping up front and rear
need to get more travel out of the rear too
Hmm I have a lot more to do than I thought.
better get to work!!!!
 
Step 1. Steal underpants
Step 2. ???
Step 3. Profit!

On a serious note.
Lots of money, full underbody protection

You thinking of running Rubicon?
 
I'll bet I have more to do than anyone here. That means NO EXCUSES! :greensmok

Here's my list:

(not necessarily in order)
- find disc brakes for my rear axle
- buy shafts, and gears
- have gears installed
- get front axle
- build 4-link for rear
- build 3-link for the front
- redesign my OBA system and hook up ARB's
- remove AC system
- (which then means I'll probably put in a new radiator while I'm in there)
- coilovers front and rear
- build steering and hydro-assist
- buy wheels and mount tires
- sheet metal work
- paint
- build or buy new shifters for the Atlas
- new rear driveshaft
- hope it all works

I'm sure there's more but to top it off I want to have this done by May, not August.
 
Not as much as Eric but here is mine.

Wait another month and a half for ribs to heal :(

Get and install tnt customs long arms
Install frame stiffeners
Make some rocker replacements
Cut and fold rear
Make rear bumper
Install rear locker
Make cowl intake....
 
i keep thinkng of more and more things that i wanna get done.
take chris' 8.25 out of his jeep and put it in mine
rocker panel replacement
new exhaust and intake manifold
erics version of cowl intake
would also like to cut and fold rear quarters
 
I'm still waiting on my shocks...otherwise, bushings, fix my bent Currie tie rod, some rear trimming, and maybe find a long arm or mid arm upgrade. Oh, and find a car trailer to haul my Jeep the 300 miles.
 
35"s
open fenders (tube fenderish)
cage
Install 8.8
ARB for 8.8
3 link front
truss 30
transmission skid
more height, maybe coilovers.
 
My list:
1) Buy a trailer or figure out if I can flat tow my XJ (brake and engine concerns)
b) Do some test towing with my new tow rig and the XJ (used 2006 Suburban) ; maybe buy a real tow rig if this isn't enough tow rig
iii. Get my ass from Washington to Tahoe for Sierra Fest in August
next) Spend some wheeling time with my buddies

Gonna do my best to make it down. Plus, you already won enough stuff last time to make it worth your while. :cheers:
 
yea... I'm looking forward to seeing what the raffle has for me to bring home. :D
 
All I need to is replace my lower control arm joints & try not to beat the sh!t of the rig so I can wheel Moab in October. Tow rig is ready & trailer is set.
 
1) Finish up my lift (UCA's and alignment)
2) Install new crossmember and T-case skid
3) Tie-Rod upgrade
4) Chase down a small coolant leak
5) Accrue vacation
6) Get some practice in

(I'll hold my breath):
1) gas tank skid
2) ditch the 35
3) Not blow through all my vacation before then
 
My list is to just finish up my axles

4.88s already have the gears and the rear axle just need the aussie locker up front

install what i already own
t case skid
fuel injectors
SYE

Dont need but want before sierrafest

frame stiffeners
gas tank skid
long arms ironrock
 
Let's see...

frame stiffeners
