Whatcha need to get done before Winterfest?

Way to much, and probably not enough time/$$$ to finish it..

The Tahoe:

Knock sensor replacement. Has to be done.
Change oil pressure sender. Doesn't have to be done, but while I got the intake off I'm replacing it.
Oil change. Will need it by then for sure.
Change spark plugs. Needs them bad!!! I'm pretty sure they have over a 100k on them !!! :scared:
Rotate tires. Will need done when I do the oil change.
Get new shocks on it. Not 100% necessary, but the the originals have 200k+ miles on them, and I can't help but think they are shot.
Fix door lock. Not necessary, but it should be something easy.
Install trailer brake controller. If I bring the jeep on a car trailer I'll need it.
Replace the drivers side mirror. If I tow I definitely want to get this done. Otherwise this is a med priority item. As long as it doesn't rain it's not to bad to see out of...
Fix gauge cluster. Again not necessary, but if I get the parts I'll try to get it done.
Get the subs, and amp from the Jeep installed, and dump in some new speakers in the factory locations. Another low priority item, but hey I likes some bump in my tunes...

Jeep
Tare down deer destroyed front clip.
Figure out if I can pull the mangled inner fender out myself, or take it to someone who can do it.
Install new front clip, rad, mech fan shroud, E fan, and new power steering pump pulley. Have everything but pulley, fan shroud, and the trim ring for the drivers side headlamp.
New serpentine belt. Ned to get.
TC skid. Have one.
Tranny skid. Need to get one. I've already dented the pan from WF12.
Either get some new 32's, or get new tires for the Tahoe, and put the tires on it back on the JK rims, buy adapters, and install.
Either install the junk crap I've got for a lift, or figure out something there (it at least needs new rear springs).
Cut the fenders to fit said tires under a 3-4in lift.
 
get my jeep back from MOAB so I can take the tent and camping supplys I had to leave in it with me to WF.

Why has it taken so long to get back to you?
 
mostly the weather. then the guy who's towing it back for me had his truck brake down.

he still has my jeep, trailer, suburban and probably 80% of the tools I own including but not limited to: my welder, one grinder, 1/2 drill, and 2 impact guns.

it aint easy bein cheesey.
 
Well the jeep isn't going to make it to winterfest. Hey I got my beadlocks done though.
