I'm gather parts for my winter projects. I picked up calipers and rotors to do a rear disk set up on my EB. I also have a hydro boost master cylinder to install. Nothing like a good set of clamps to whoa my pony.

The next project is a doubler. I currently run a NP435 and D20, a good combo, just has too many pedals. So I believe I'm going to swap this set up for a C6-203-205. I'm picking up the tranny this week and have a line on a 205 and the fella thinks he may still have a 203 for me.

What are you fellas planning on doing this winter?
 
First things first. Gotta get a new slave cyl. Leaks pretty bad right now, then a new trans, hopefully with a t-case so I can double too. It'll be nice to have first gear again.:p
 
If I can find the time, I'd like to repair the sheet metal damage from my last Tellico trip. Realisticly, I'll probably only get a new top installed. I also need to open up the tranny and find out why I can't access one of my ranges.
 
Short question-looong answer.......

after deer season ends; rears up front, chevys in rear,setup dual case, square d-shafts, new shocks and mounts, rebuild knuckles, finish beadlocks, paint, new bumpers,flat bed,sliderz,exo(who's gonna do it??), finish the 22r, convert to pane,seats, new windshield,.....mount the 37's and I'll be done!
-taking donations and volunteers:flipoff2: Hoping to be done by the end of March:D
 
Ugh...find a new job. Auto market has sucked horribly the past month. AFter I find a new job, and have some weekend time to wrench, I will be SAS'ing my trooper, helping with an exo on a buddies yota pickup and maybe WHEELING AGAIN :D
 
My Discovery will be undergoing major surgery. Dana 60 front, Dana 70 rear, 16" travel SAW coilovers at all 4 corners, and a little weight reduction.

There will be a wrenchfest or 2 before it's done.

OH SNAP! :flipoff2:

I would done it this summer, but mangled (bones and ligaments weeee!) my left hand mountain biking so I had no use of my left hand all summer... And I've actually been applying myself this semester (spent 18 hours in the machine shop this weekend). I did find some time in there to turn down my Dana 70's hubs for the 3/4 ton rotors though. I'm waiting on a couple packages to arrive right now actually..
 
Hopefully, my stuff will be finished and my biggest quest will be having the funds to go wheeling. Finding enough cloths to keep warm, and dry.And enough rides to keep me happy. I love creating, fixing is OK, but I'd rather be wheeling!
 
Resisting the urge to link the rear of the cruiser is my biggest project. Getting Rob's junk fixed is #2.

Finish up getting parts for the new front axle, begin gathering parts for the 9" rear, 4-link parts, air shox / coil-overs, steering parts, etc, etc.. Starting the parts gathering for NEXT winter's project will let me hold out for the good deals.
 
Grand Cherokee: Remove the 6" short arm lift and put Clayton's Long Arms on. and get new tires!!

New Bronco Project: Find a cheap lift, and install a working used transmission, do some body work, and hopefully paint.

New F100 Project: Replace rusted bed, Motor Tune up, Paint, Window Tint, Exhaust, interior cleanup, Rims, and sell for profit :)
 
Finishing a bathroom remodeling, then fixing my jeep up. After that, might start on the wifes jeep, depending on funds.
 
Get my Ford running (carb issues/replacement & tune-up), replace body bushings, twin-stick the 205, & score a bed -or- tube it out back....
 
Get my CTD tow rig on the road.
Then I need to get the 4.0 installed and running in the cherokee Chief. and mabe Paint the J10
 
They YJ's getting 304/727 A/T, SOA, front bumper, Mastercraft seats, and 37's
The XJ (wifes) 8.8 rear, SYE, 6" lift, lockers, front/rear bumpers, winch, roof rack, cage.

Swapping a willys wagon onto a wagoneer. Fixing all the rust, and body damage. Maybe even a lift and some tires if I can get it done. Sure would love to have a willys wagon on 35s with a throaty V8. Also start my cj2a crawler project with a custom frame, 302, and some other crap I haven't figured out yet.
 
rock sliders and a better skid plate and what mods I get as presents for my b-day and christmas.
 
Hi-steer and hydro assist (parts have been sitting on the shop floor since April, and now my wrist is in a cast). Then OBA. Then OBW. Then 4:1 on the t-case. Then cam/injectors/portnpolish to help out motor. Then rear tire carrier. Then storage box and or rear seat. Then realign window crank so its not against my leg when the window is up.

But I guess before I do all that, I should figure out what all those noises and leaks are, and why it rides and drives so bad. Well, I guess it really never does end.
 
360 motor swap and d44s under my cj. Pulled the doner cherokee in the shop last night
