To Do List

[vetteboy]

Oh man, I hope that is what remains of the tire on that rim, and not the lip of the rim that looks all mangled... :doh:

Not bad though, considering what I am sure you put it through in that race...:roflmao::roflmao:

Nope, it's exactly what it looks like - I finished the last half-mile of that lap with no tire at all.

(kept getting yelled at from the woods, "YOU LOST A TIRE!!!!". Thanks, I didn't realize.)

It wasn't a beadlock wheel, just a plain steel one. The tire was my spare anyway, and it had been patched on the inside...the patch came off and screwed the deal for both.

Just ordered another tire but I'm thinking it may take up to a week to get here. Time to start some contingency planning. Steering box rebuild kit will be here tomorrow and I might try and get it taken apart tonight.

Anyone have a > 38" tire on a >= 16" 8-lug wheel?

...

1 - buy decent padding and install "new" carpet. Put the interior back together (with me doing the work myself that will take a whole damn month). Done, Done & Done! arty:
2 - replace headliner (Another month since a full length OHC is involved) dragging my feet on this one. Won't be done before NAC fest.
3 - source some decent, cheap 4" coils (got 'em - actually 4.5") somewhere & maybe some leafs (then figure out whether my OME Long Travel shocks will still work) well, not so sure now that I want to go that direction ...
4 - get the Swampers mounted, balanced & on the XJ - Done!

 

[xcalibur223]

The only things left on my list...
Change oil
Buy beer
Not necessarily in that order.

Also:
* treated surface rust under the XJ & painted/undercoated everything I could.
* Might change D30 fluid tomorrow before loading on the trailer.
* Ghetto washed the XJ (no soap, just garden hose & a squeegee )
* swapped the correct 49 tooth speedo gear in (finally)
* re-installed dash & shifter thingies (boy did I screw those up :laugh3: )
* took the XJ to get the CB wiring re-done so I don't have to keep screwing it onto my rack (drill baby, drill!)

I think I need some more bumpstopping now that I have those 33s. Gonna muscle some hockey pucks in and hope they hold ...
