Not 100% sure if I'll be attending this year or not. This list is the reason why.

New Cat
New injectors
New starter or NSS not sure which yet
New fuel pump
New steering
New shocks
New Alternator
front control arms need to be rebuilt

No money to do any of it...
 
I guess I will play since I got the old boy to pass smog with flying colors:

New roof/figure out how to get a windshield into mangled A pillars with huge gaps
Fit/mount new skins
New hood
Paint (Spencer is in charge of that)
Stop/fix the cracks in the steering box area
New steering linkage
Mount the Liquid Iron front plates (they look pretty bling)
Fix fuel pump issue
tear down/prep
If I get time buy & install seat heaters since I am getting to be an old man

Josh that hatch would be much appreciated. If it makes it easier for you, I only would need from the bottom of the rear widow down (thinking of making it into a "tailgate")
 
Finish body swap:

weld up DIY front winch bumper
clean up rocker replacements from old jeep, cut out rockers and replace
rework rear bumper tire carrier mounts
mount cb and antenna
mount trans temp gauge
mount alt gauge
wire in back up lights built into rear bumper
mount high zj alt
zj steering
wj ps pump
durrango box
oba

maybe install rear quarter guards

go on a deer hunt

all this in the Phoenix heat (still 113* today):flame:, thats why I have been putting it off
 
I'm giving it hell!! Finshed bending tube last night! Needs welded, paint, seats & harnesses installed and i'll be there!

Just got new 5165 Bilsteins yesterday; the 5150's i've been running for the past two years started leaking just before the Little Sahara run in February.
-replace fire extinguisher
-change oil
-install new shocks
-clean K&N
-zirk everything!
 
Oil change, balance/rotate the tires, remove sagging headliner material, and clean the inside is the extent of my things done.
 
pull jeep off trailer, fix driveline, inner steering box brace and change alt and AC pulley. put back on trailer and head south.
