Have my winch mounting brackets/plate ready just need to get my neighbor to weld it up so I can install my winch....still waiting to get with my neighbor to weld this all up
Ordered DOM and heims for my tie rod since LRG bent my tierod enough to worry me last year so I need to measure cut and have the inserts welded in once it all arrives...then hope it will fit OTK. Parts are here just need to measure and cut tubing, drill knuckles and have same neighbor weld inserts into tube.
Still need to shave the 14B so Nick won't yell at me...should be happening this weekend.
Need to get ramps made for my trailer.
Still hoping somehow I will have the money to put some swampers on the MJ...but I think I'll have to wait until next year. (NOT GONNA HAPPEN)...anyone have $1100 I can borrow? There's the perfect set of tires in our own FS forum!! AAHHH!!
Now to add more...traded the 95 cummins ram toward an 03 cummins ram so now I have to reinstall my CB and invertor in the new(er) truck and I ordered EGT and trans temp gauges yesterday so there's another half to 1 day of work. Good news is now I will save some money on the fuel for the trip since this truck does better...but then of course now I have a monthly payment again...boo...but it's worth it.

Change fluid in both diffs. Getting some occasional not-so-nice noises from the 8.8. Hope to not see too much bad when I take the cover off.
Shake down run with new steering set up.
Find a trailer (got a tow pig lined up). Worst case, rent a uhaul trailer.
Would like to install the frame stiffiners i've had for two years, but don't know if i'll have the opportunity to get to that or not.
Oh, and fix the radiator and water pump that decided to start leaking last weekend....

Indeed it does.
May take you up on that sometime soon.
Lilkewise. Haven't done much of any welding since my machine shop/motorsports days in College. I picked it up pretty quick then but have forgot most of the little tricks to it now.

Kind of like you?? :rof:
I can make sure I'm around. May 30th the boys turn 16 so I suspect I'll be busy that weekend. Other then that I'm going to try and put the jeeps as top priority from here on. Need to work on the brakes on mine, the ps issues, and decide about my winch.

4 link the rear, mount new shocks, replace one front brake caliper, replace rear hard brake line.
Heat and bend pitman arm slightly, adjust caster, fix leak in the power steering box.
Maybe change the oil.
