X2 for me. If I can't get my brakes figured out, I may have to bring the TJ and just not wheel.

weld in mid stiffeners and 2x6 rocker replacements with tie ins that have been collecting rust in my garage since last WF. alo not happening

Install CB, fire extinguisher and new battery tray. This weekend after I get the little jeep running.

Tow Pig:

Change ball joints, build partition so I can shut Walt up on the way down if I want. Ball joints were ok, changed out pass. side wheel bearing. Don't need partition because Walt's gay and isn't going.

I'm lazy but I'm going to WF!!!!
 
I made a nifty little bracket so I can stop flying my ghetto flag. Was it on my list? Nope. Haven't done anything I should be doing.

How is the starter working? I have to tell you after you followed us all over the Cliffs the only thing that seemed to need work was the starter....
