    Just over two months away! Everyone's Grand ready to go?

    Guess it's time to give the Jeep a once over and start my to-do-list.
    - Measure rear 8.8 shaft's runout. Driver side has slight run out, replace after GSW. Done/Future
    - Replace front shocks, the old Bilsteins gave up the ghost. Done
    - Relace blown steering stabilizer. Done
    - Replace my blown dash tweeters. Need some tunes for the drive out. Done
    - Tires are getting more worn out, hmmm, MTR's are backordered. Future.
    - Replace loose CB antenna mount. Upgraded the CB as well. Done
    - Tracking down a fluid leak. Found and fixed T-case leak. Done
    - Recharge CO2 tank. Done

    Fix fawked up cooling so I can at least get emissions tested and renew tags. Damn heater core disintegrated and spread its guts somewhere in the motor causing a clog - Done except for tags, they'll be renewed by Friday.

    Finish rear Claytons, exhaust, etc
    Reconfigure sliders with the rear Claytons...damn you WyoJeepZJ for reminding me of that
    Might as well de-rust the sliders and repaint since I'll have to have them off the Heep anyway.
    Fluids

    F-250
    Fluids...the one vehicle I have that doesn't have other shit to deal with

    Maybe install the SYE transfercase
    Install driving lights
    Move fog lights down
    Build new quick disconnects for front
    Pre-run Rose Garden Hill
    Maybe build brush/winch/light bar for front bumper

    I need to:

    Build a tire carrier
    New fluids
    Decide to run tube doors or not
    Replace trans solenoid pack, and hope is fixes my no 4th gear issue, or I'm not going.

    Or maybe piggyback on somebodys trailer. Is it a bad idea to hang the back of the ZJ off a trailer and pull the rear shaft to tow it there?

    I REALLY want to go, but not if I'm at 3k RPM's for 6 hours.

    1. Replace rear shocks (current very expensive remote reservoir shocks have a sucking sound when exercised).
    2. Replace lovely stock Chrysler front brake discs (and pads) with discs that aren't warped (I thought Chrysler fixed this in the WK).
    3. Swap winter tires/rims for wheeling tires/rims.
    4. Oil change.
    5. Reinforce belly skid to (try to) eliminate deformation when hitting on the trail.
    6. Install all armor.
    7. Get all my work-work done so I'm not interrupted while in Moab.

    I guess alls I need to do is make sure the thing won't overheat or vapor lock on the way out there & back. I think it's fixed but not sure. Have to do a trip up to the mountains loaded to see. It's fine around town but I don't trust it.

    Gota get emissions & tags too by the end of this month.

    If you are talking Canyonlands Campground next to the Red Stone it is full! After some research I chose this.
