before the crawl my junk needs.....

[DrMoab]

Well here is a starting list.

Finish engine that's in my garage and swap.

Rebuild transfer case

Install new AC dryer (AC freezes up in dry Utah air, can't imagine what humidity will do.

Pull rear axle and try to figure out why oil seeps from the plug welds, install new ubolt eliminators and new shock mounts.

Cut and rotate one front knuckle back 1.5 degrees.

Fab up and install new WJ steering.

Try and fix the rust around the windshield so it won't leak when it rains.

Go through both driveshafts. Make sure they are up to 3600 mi of rotations.

Have spare driveshaft built.

Fix stripped out holes in the frame so the belly pan (and front axle) doesn't fall out.

Well I'll start this wish list for both Jeeps since as of right now I don't know which one I'm taking (I'd rather drive the little one given that it's a 4,600 mile trip minimum but if Holly isn't going I may have to drive the big one (she daily drives my little Jeep).


Red Jeep:
Possibly fix rotten windshield channel (not very likely)
Put AC together
Basic PM work
Possibly tires

Black Jeep:
Top off AC
Basic PM
Weld on TNT Stiffeners
Install TNT Belly Pan
Rebuild TC
Purchase and install SYE
Get and install tires
Fix CB Antenna mount
Install lunchbox locker in front axle


Either Jeep:
Fine tune roof rack. Possibly fabricate new gutter mounts to drop it down 1.5" closer to roof
Contemplate new gear storage options
Purchase family sized tent

David Bricker has a set of LeBaron vents for sale in the SoCal forum. I got a set on my XJ and love them.

I saw those. I had Lumina Z34 vents on my 01 and loved the way they looked, I may try to find a set of those. We have a Fiero with huge (10"x12") vents at the shop, I had thought about those too but I like heat in the winter
