What I need for next year!

[043500]

I know we will all start a thread next year when the time comes...but I wonder how much our wish lists will change between now and then?

1) new driver front spring (MUST)
2) front locker (spool actually MUST)
3) winch (want to say MUST...but it's gotta be in budget)
4) 36" TSL's
5) spare front DS
6) spare front axle shafts
7) shorten front shackles about 1" (MUST)
8) steering box brace (MUST)
9) front track bar (my leaves were wiggly this year)
10) replace other trailer axle (not taking any chances) (MUST)
11) make drag link out of DOM/heims (to match tie rod)
12) maybe build rockers out of 2X6

A tow rig....

1) Mine will have a Detroit locker in the 8.8 for next year.
2) Thinking about some sort of long arms.
3) Reworked rear springs - mine sagged a little this year.

I hope to actually make it to the trails next year.

You need to get with brian and use his 3 link brackets. I was really impressed with them on his rig...

My wish list is to get the Red Rocket to the Crawl.

You better start on that traction bar!

I need to secure a ride to the next one. I'll be riding along, I'm going to Colorado next July to wheel so gotta save gas money! Dibs on Tim's passenger seat!

 

[IllianaXJ]

Not with that attitude.

I'll wheel the bimmer......on highway 160!

 

[UNCC_99XJ]

Not with that attitude.

Lol!

I should have an ARB in the rear. The LSD I have in there now has let me down twice now. Time to get it gone.

True Trac doesn't make a cool sound when you turn it off. Come to think it, they don't turn off.

Once you go selectable, you never go back.

I have an air locker up front, it's badass! I really enjoy limited slip in the rear in winter.

 

[shortxjdoug]

You ever looked inside a true trac? Its like the inside of a watch, too many moving parts in a diff is unsettling to me

I have parts when that time comes.
