Definitely one of the best vendors for fast customer service. I once placed an order with him online and he called me less than a minute later with a few questions and to tell me it would ship that afternoon.

2) replace my LCA's
3) drill/tap new holes for rear bumpstops and put them back in: DOING THIS WEEKEND
4) Get 4.56 gears installed in the D30 and D44- just ordered gears/install kits today from national drivetrain
5) Get ARB installed in the 44
6) disc conversion on the D44 (hopefully)
7) make up some brackets to bolt my sub down so it doesnt slide around: DOING THIS WEEKEND ALSO

Also, need to do a few more things...

11.) Replace coils
12.) replace steering box & steering shaft

I'm not getting too far on my list either...most of it is stuff I can't do at school so I'm gonna have to wait til I go home in a few weeks.

*cough*cough* Don't you have long arms to install?? *cough*cough*

I need to remove an inch-think layer of coal mud from my entire vehicle. To me this is a more daunting and crappy task than most of the mods I've done to the damn thing.

Prerunning/racing at Rausch is dirty work, but someone's gotta do it.

 

[Begster]

Yay, I can actually do this.

Hmm, lets see.

Get it driving first - It drove to Foxboro yesterday
Replace steering box - Done
Plate frame rails - Might not happen
Modify and install gas tank skid
Take ARB bullbar off and redo mounts/cut for clearance/ sink lights into bumper - Bumper is cut apart, holes made, brackets and everything are done, it just has to get welded all up
Install/hard wire winch - Will happen once bumper gets back together, now that the winch can actually fit in there again
Build rear bumper/tire carrier
Modify Slickrock Gear quarterpanel guards and add integrated tail light boxes
Find out what bearings are making noise in rear axle and replace
Remove t-case and clean/fix or probably replace
Remove the broken crossmember bolt from the unirail so I can have more than 3 bolts holding it on.
New crossmember/skid - Picking one up in a couple of hours
Get new upper ball joint sleeve to fix camber issue
Get 2 screws to screw the rear OX lever face down, so I don't have to hold my rear OX engaged
Fix the trackbar RE superflex joint that RE keeps sending me the wrong/poor quality parts for
New headlights/wire harness/fitchbox - partially done
Buy new tow straps, and only pull people if they have d-ring shackles.

Rain over the last week took care of most of my mud situation.

The remainder can wait until after wheelin next weekend, because it's supposed to be a sloppy mess out there again. I think I like this excuse because you can always find somewhere at Rausch that is a sloppy mess.

I had some pretty bad rattles and clanks, turned out to be nothing more than a few loose jam nuts and johnny joint bolts that hadn't seen a wrench since April 2007. Guess all this 'high speed' stuff is finally knocking some things loose. Good to go!

Time to start trying to generate a list again.
