On to the bad news, with the crossmember flip to suit the Rubicon transfer case the transmission skidplate from my truck will not fit (too short) and the T-case skid will need to be reworked (Too long and wrong shape now).


I'm sure there's a few things that Lloyd will have to work out for himself.
Gotta tip my <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> hat to you guy's for taking this on!

I am expecting a fairly long list of the things to work on such as find a spare, roof rack, some air plumbing and tank mount work it seems like, hot shower.....But I need to get that work done fairly quickly for the 4th.

Probably would fab the skid plate out there, since fab work here is hard to come by. If you end up needing some money for some of the last materials, let me know and I will bring some cash with me.

- Breather tub for transfer case
- Breather for front diff
- Run air line for front ARB and install switch
- finish wiring up compressor and mount it up
- Weld rear bumper
- install skid plates
- Getto alignment
- Final adjustment to torsion bars
- Coil spacers
- Install new pinion seal

Seems we have figured out the high idle issue so I have removed that from the checklist. Also, the center consul is all back together with shifter box in place so we are good there. Not sure where we stand on some of the other stuff but we need to get that worked out. As of right now lloyd gets here in a week and a half. I know Adam will probably get the rear bumper on this week and the skid plates obviously wont work due to the crossmember flip. Pat are you going to go to adam's in the mornings after you get off of work or gonna work on it this weekend?

I'll see what i can scrape together to get some kind of bumper and maybe transmission skidplate, I'm thinking it's gonna be a mad dash when you get here Lloyd.
I'd like to get as much done as possible before hand so do any of you guys have any plate, square tubing or round tubing laying around that you'd donate? Send me a text.

Hate to go into the trip wrenching, because that may mean no testing potentially. Another problem right now that I hope will change before I come, is I messed up my knee really bad hiking. Using crutches or a walker right now... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />

Adam and I have to go first thing in the morning to go pick up his Air compressor, which is just south of tuscon and maybe only 40 min away from me, then we are beating it back to adams I think to get some of this last minute stuff worked out. If your willing to come out that would be awesome.

Yah, this freakin sucks. Esther is taking me to all my jobs because I cannot get around. I have not driven, but it wont be a problem. How about loading me with a cherry picker? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> We will see how the next 10 days go....
