Not too bad, good thing I work at a parts store :D
 
Swap out suspension...DONE
Cut and install new steering.
Frame Stiffiners (yeah, the same ones I won two years ago at the crawl...still haven't got them on yet).
Would like to find some new tires for it as well...DONE (sort of..They're all terrains but they'll probably have to do)

Whatever else decides to go wrong between now and then.

Remove the stance that has appeared in the front end (bad ball joints, bent axle tube...or?)
 
I've about got my winch mount complete. Will be ordering front shackles in 2 weeks or so as well as putting in a CB and antenna so I don't have to rob my dodge.

Hoping to get tires (want them way more than need them) but it depends on if I can find a good used set when I have the $$.

Got all the fuel money squared away and some of the cabin money...so damn near ready!!

IS IT JUNE YET!!!

Adding look over the front end since my dumb ass slammed it into a curb at about 30 playing in the snow, hopefully that busted bead is all the damage incurred.....

But I did get a new track bar bracket built, just needs trimming and some extra bracing and she'll be good!

Haha just kidding. Your rig is already sweet, I can't wait to see it on tons!
 
Haha! Too funny, Sean. It's going to be a long road ahead.

well if you pinion didn't point at the oil pan....


I need to get the bellypan put on, and do something about the rear springs.

and a hack n tap.


I have much more work to be done on the tow vehicle....
 
It wouldn't be the first time you had lots to in so little time, I can come over and help hold your nuts and shaft again.

Get out there in you PJ's and get that sucker put back together.
