The "what do you have to do" thread

[Captain Ron]

I have to make a crossmember that isnt sheetmetal...

or at least make one that doesnt have stress cracks all the way though it...

Id like to have a cage... but probably wont...
Id like to have an atlas... but probably wont...
Id like to have hydro assist... but probably wont...
Id like to have time to finish any project that ive started... but I probably wont...

Glad you prefaced all that with "I'd".

Otherwise, I'm worried my junks won't be ready.

I changed my oil a few months ago...I think.

Change oil.
Reload the CD changer.
Drive to Shaver.
Wheel for the weekend.
Borrow Scrappy's daily driver to get back up to work during the week.
Drive back to Shaver.
Wheel another weekend.
Drive home.
Anything else is just a bonus.

Bonus items may include:

Limit straps.
New, trussed D30 housing.
Hydro assist.
Alloy USA rear shafts to match my fronts.
5 gallons of Bondo.
New bumpers just because.
Rock lights.
Learn to drive.
