Traded the ZJ to egghead for a 98 XJ. Same one I had at the trail cleanup at RedBird.

Yeah, I misread what you said. You meant Green Trail, not green vehicle. I'm an idiot.

Wanna take on two of those?
Seiously though, if you need some help I'll come help you knock those off your list.

Lets see... I get to delete a few
Get visibly charged fire extinguisher (should've done that a long time ago)
Get and install a CB with no cb radio knowledge (Possibly with illXj's help if i cant get it done before i will send you a pm about it thanks btw )
Maybe get a new radiator ( skipping until this summer or until it leaks again)
E-brake noise : looks like when i swapped my brakes onto my new axles i forgot and lost the lower spring on the right side that hooks to the ebrake arm (arm?) and pulls it back away from the drum.
I called a guy from craigslist today about getting liberty disks from his part out. if not ill just replace the spring (most likely)
And a "light" Test run (my buddy had to cancel on coming with me so im shure he will get me to go before winterfest)

Update, bought the built dana 30 Lawn Cher had for sale so now my winterfest list has changed some. Need to regear the rear to match the front.
Need:
Lots of help -------------- still need
Front bumper ------------- still need
Gas tank skid ------------- still need
CB ----------------------------- still need
Fire Extinguisher ---------- still need
Front brake lines ---------- have just need installed
3/4" spacer up front ------ have just need installed
4.56s for the rear --------------still need
Want:
Trim fenders/remove all stock plastics/"massage" inner fenders -------------- done
Cut out rockers and replace with box steel ---------------------------------------- still need
Repair drivers floorboard ------------------------------------------------------------ still need
Rear bumper + cut and fold -------------------------------------------------------- more like chop out rust and replace with new
Replace 31" at's with 33" mt's ------------------------------------------------------ done
New shocks with rear crossover/flush lower mounts ----------------------------- prob not gonna happen
Bumpstops sorted out front and rear -------------------------------------------------- in the works
Beefy steering ------------------------------------------------------------------------ attached to new axle going in soon
Rear locker and alloy shafts --------------------------------------------------------- halfway there
Longarms ------------------------------------------------------------------------- prob wont happen
So I did some painting and trim work. Got some door edge guard at the parts store and ran it along the front fenders. It looks great up close but in the picture you cant see it because its only about a 1/4" in height. I wish there was a slightly larger version of this stuff, a full inch would look better. In the rear I taped off above the spot where the flares had scratched the paint and rattle canned it with black. I also rattle canned my rhinolined door bottoms and rockers that had to faded gray. Then I put my trimmed bumper end caps back on until I get aftermarket bumpers. All I can say is electrical tape works really well to tape off for painting. Very easy to manipulate and seems to seal even better than painters tape. Last thing I need to do is clean up the front wheel wells and paint them black.
Is it bad the 33s are starting to look small already?

Got the choke issue squared away and the tune up done. IRO track bar came in today and will go on tomorrow along with a new set of 31's. I'm starting to feel like for every one item I get done, I add two more to the list.

Trac bars installed and the oils changed. Some fine tuning on the tracbar to do yet and finish up the interior. Drivers floor is going to have to wait

Tires / Wheels mounted and mounted.

OK the Fiancee Decided to spend some $ on the Rig (she thinks it will ensure we can drive home and that shell be more comfy)
So now i have to add more To my list.
HOPEFULLY get ordered and installed (might not come in time) :
JCR Gas Tank Skid
JCR Transfer Case Skid
Get a Tepui Rooftop tent at bass pro shop And figure out how im going to mount it (dont have a roof rack) Maybe we can weld up a ladder box to reinforce stock roof rack ?
i had not planned on doing a roof rack as i want a hybrid exo cage. (and a trailer to mount the tent on)
2x6 Rocker replacement w Aj's outer rail kit (no bender)
And a "light" Test run
HAVE TO:
Get visibly charged fire extinguisher (should've done that a long time ago)
Install my new CB with no cb radio knowledge (Possibly with illXj's help if i cant get it done before WF i will send you a pm about it thanks btw )
Find a better way to tie down my cargo on trail..
I planned on running the green trail and she still wants to buy skids and rails.
Who am i to argue ? Ill Take it!

That will make her comfy for sure!
I know when I put them on my rig, my wife thought she was riding in a Lexus.
