Cherokee Crawl Countdown

So theres a little over 12 million seconds left...whats on you list of things you'll be doing to your Jeep before you go?

I've got to install some proper fire extinguisher mounts, spare tire and get a new driveshaft for yellowxj...wifes xj needs to have the tierod end replaced on her rustys tracbar...

 

[rredalty]

Finish out some things in the internal/ exo cage and start finding spare parts.

 

[jmowens]

Install the front receiver hitch that should come in this week... and hopefully sliders if $$$ will allow...

 

[043500]

Probably won't make the Crawl this year

Getting married the weekend before and honeymooning 2 weeks following But the XJ may be close by as we'll be honeymooning in Amicalola Falls and might take a trip to Tellico with YellowXJ and co.

He HE this should be intresting. Switch 9" and D44 to the new 94 body. Cut floor for the 203/205, build new floor. Build cage, internal or external or both. Build new rock rails. Build/get new rear bumper, install old 5k fab bumper. That is off the top of my head. I know there is lots more to do. :helpme:

 

[Kudzu]

Get the jeep running properly...

4 x 4 linkage hook up corectly
find out why it does not seem to shift into 3rd
seems to be runnging too hot but mught be the shifting problem
get the lift off the old jeep and on the new one

and somewhere along the line find the $$ to be there...

new front springs or spacer to level out the front
Have the CB tuned

Wish list
Box in Frame rails

 

[merlintocherokee]

What to do......let's see.

Pack Russ off to the hills cause I CAN"T BE THERE!

Heard something about a pinion bearing (soon).

There's no way he's going to be able to scrounge parts for that D44 (going to 8 lug to match the 14 bolt)

New rock lights

Paint the front ARMORED FENDERS hint hint

 

[merlintocherokee]

BTW Curtis, if ya'll get the tractor trailer rig will you reserve a spot for Russ's rig please?

 

[yellowxj]

rock lights!!! I forgot about that...

 

[shortxjdoug]

[P1atinum]

BTW Curtis, if ya'll get the tractor trailer rig will you reserve a spot for Russ's rig please?

Trying to get ahold of my contact for the rig, I haven't seen or talked to him in about three months, but if I get something hooked up you have a spot.

 

[MrMom]

rock lights!!! I forgot about that...
