The "Hope I get done before Winterfest" List.....

Jeep is ready for WF. Now time to get the camper done!
 
Oh lord. The rig I'll be riding in still doesn't have the new front axle in or built or the rear regeared yet. This should be F-U-N!
 
All I have to do is swap out the BFG AT's for the KM2's :)
 
Just don't shut it off :D

lol

Brad, if it's just the whole doesn't crank at all thing it's that NSS, use the silver button on the dash. If it's actually a cranks but doesn't start thing, I'm not sure, I never had that problem, but I would suspect that the CPS connector needs some cleaning.

Or that ground strap that needed secured at the back of the head.

I've had intermittent NSS issues. Also had a problem where it would crank but not fire, I think it might have just been low on gas... Heh. Now neither the key or the button will turn it over. It did look like the wires on the starter solenoid are loose, so I'll start there. I really don't want to get it out and have it not start or be stuck somewhere and hold up everyone else on the trail. That's why I will probably just take the ZJ, unless I have time to really shake down the XJ before then.
 
just got back with the driveshaft and went out to put it in and it starts pouring down rain, so now I am gonna sit here and wait for the rain to stop
 
okie dokie, driveshaft is in, cleaning up the belly pan and then I will get it back on, that is gonna be a fun one
 
oh sh!t, I've got work to do on my Jeep too.

camper is coming along real nice. made alot of head way today. hopefully finish after work Sat. That gives me monday to get the Ram ready and do some work on the Jeep.

load camper and Jeep Tuesday, hope fuel prices drop a bit, my daughter is arriving Tues night, Wed morn: ATTICA BOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Is one tow hook on the front okay?
 
going out on a limb here but...

couldn't get the steering box bolts free?


One bracket it bent ( i suspect it will be okay once bolts and air tools are applied though). and if they don't put that one on (they being someone I find or a shop that will do it for 50), I just want to be sure one would be okay.
 
Just got all the bearings, races, and seals replaced on the trailer. Trailer, tow rig, and jeep are good to go now. Just gotta pack and will be on the road thursday afternoon
