Whatcha need to get done before Winterfest?

Install Zip locker
wire up compressor
fix leaky pinion seal(during locker install)
Weld shock mount back on
Bolt t-case skid back on
 
I was planning on doing a cage but I don't think that's gonna happen.

Have to do stiffies and replace the rockers with tube. Design 3 link bracket....lift it a little, add relo brackets, build rear recovery.....I just don't feel like going to garage.
 
JEEP:

-Frame stiffies

-Rocker replacement

-Tie 1 and 2 together

-Build a new bumper

-Install winch

TRUCK:

-Build some type of shelf in the back for my heater to sit on

-Take the topper off and put new tape on it to seal it up

-Cut a sheet of OSB to lay in the bed so the air matress doesn't get cut.

-Put the heater back there when we get some cold weather and see how well this topper holds heat.

Bumper will be done Monday.

Then need to get the jeep to smash hole for rocker and stiffie install.

Still need to do everything on the truck.
 
It's gonna be hard to choose the best jeep build this year. Everyone is upgrading!

I didn't plan on doing anything to the jeep as it has been running good all year since last winterfest.

but then as if clockwork every year, 1 month before WF the brakes started acting up. Looks to be only a sticking driverside caliper, hope it didn't waste the pads by the time I noticed it.
