My list:
tighten rear shock mounting bolts.

Well so far the local shop can't figure out what's going on with my brakes either. Ill be really bummed if I can't bring the XJ.

are you driving or trailering?
I have vacuum bleeder, there's a napa in town. This ain't my first rodeo bleeding hydraulics in the campground. The MJ showed up with no brakes on a trailer 3 years ago and went wheeling the next day.

 

[terrehautian]

I recommend Carquest in town over Napa. Carquest will open for parts if they are closed when you call them.

The locker is 1hr 30min from here... Thats a lot of gass I'd rather use on driving down to Attica...

Brakes are fixed! $430 later. The culprit was a bad booster. I may replace the alternator too, which has a bad diode and draining my battery.

Yay!

 

[beer_goggles_009]

Still have way too much left to do before this Winterfest to make it. And even if I worked around the clock to finish it up my wheels and tires have not even shipped yet. Looks like I'll be looking for a passenger seat this year.

 

[XJRN]

I might be pulling an all nighter tonight to get this done and it will still be anyone's guess if everything works out when i get there. Hate not to be able to do a shake down first.

 

[Fore Wheeler]

Waiting for morning to load the jeep. I've got the Tahoe, trailer and jeep in the garage keeping the mass of the snow off.

Should be on the road by 9am.

 

[Rev Den]

Picked up the trailer....in a blizzard.
