My goal is to wheel atleast 4 good trips. New baby on the way in less than 5 weeks now. I WILL make Harlan though. That is a pilgrimage, almost like Moab for me now  :'(
I've grown tired of this.

Fab an oil pan skid.
Find some air shocks for the front.
Suspension seats.
37s
Get alternative transportation
Make some rides, especially Harlen.
Put the jeep through the ringer.


prioritize them and make this number 1:  Make Harlan!
I did.

1.Oil Pan skid is number one before I get any more rocks. The oil pan on the 4.8L hangs lowwwww.

2.Then I need a little more driveshaft clearance for the front exhaust, so I am going to lift the front .5-1", will go ahead with airshocks to do this, since I want to run them ultimately. Has to be done before I hit any rocks.

3.Suspension seats, cause my back hurts like hell after every ride, getting to old for this stuff

4. Tires are gonna need replaced, maybe before Harlan, if not this can move down the list.

5. I have alternate transportation in the garage, just need to pull the trans out of the old T-bird and rebuild. Just in case number 7 on the list doesnt go over well.

6. HARLEN

7. Enjoy myself for a bit. I cant and wont put a whole lot of cash in the jeep this year.  Still recovering from the previous year :hlp

If your tires are in decent shape, sell them while they are sellable. I always sell mine before they are considered junk. Helps with new tire fees  ;D

I think I will once the car is running which should be soon. I have a tile job to do and that is gonna take care of the transmission.

The tires are in good shape for the street around 1/4" tread or more. Probably get another 15k out of them or more. These BFG have lasted along time. Just need more tread for the rocks.

My goals are to get the 2 door built:

2.5 Rock Krawler Max Flex
Fox Shocks
35" GoodYear MTR Kevlar tires
Poison Spyder BFH trail stinger
Artec Truss system front and Rear Axle


I think that is a good start for the Year.

My goal is to just get it all put back together again and hopefully hit some trails at least once a month this year!
