unfortunately, my wheeling season is over until next year. Way too many things need fixing on my Jeep.
I used to wheel a lot. . .

i need to do a few things, like change the front week shackle mounts and at the same time shorter shackles in the front and longer in the back. ill make thefront hangers an inch lower than stock. that will let me put the front 6" shackles in the back and put the rear 5" ones in the front. my back drive line angle is down to much so the 1" longer shackles should help in 2 ways. o i forgot you tj guys dont know anything about shackles ! ha ha
next year i cant wait to hit hell hole again, its open for travel a lot earlier than the higher trails.

Offline Haha...here's my short list:
Brakes, I have a cut brake line. Should be fun picking up the kids today It was fun driving it home from work with zero brakes.
Control arm bushings and joints
Recenter rear axle...my uppers are too short and keep breaking.
Redrill upper control arm tabs for the larger joints
Driveline angles...rear is wobbling
Rear axle bearings...they are grinding
Air system leak
Oil seperator exploded
Shorten drag link...mines too long and limits steering and my steering wheel is upsidedown
Replace broken hubs...plus buy spares
Weld on new C on driver's side axle tube...mine's bent (I can see it bent too).
Climate control is stuck on A/C and only comes out the floor vent...no defroster.
Straighten rear tub...my door won't seal and will let rain in.
Outboard rear shocks...mine are too long and I bottom out with only 2 inches of uptravel. I can't even run my spare tire on back.
New compressor switch...mine broke off the dash.
Transfer case clunks...probably a broken mount.
I'm sure I'll think of more..

there are a few guys that work the weekends ,and get monday and tuesday off. it works out good for me because i get to wheel during the week as well as weekends. im kind of self employed now for a year and a half(starving) it does let me have some flexibility going on trips. last time we went on a monday there were over 12 guys, which was surprising.
