Wade my friend, you are very fun to wheel with. Get it running right and put shocks in it. I guess an exhaust would be nice. Just weld a muffler on it. You are not not coming to this!! Lights arent needed, guages are ehhh, and leaks just make it harder for everyone else
Thanks buddy you bet your ass me and my rig will be there! I need to get the oil pan leak fixed it drops a quart every 10 mins

Fix two flat tires
Replace brake caliper (found out what it is from and bought one already)
Grease and or replace wheelbearing (yes the same one that blew out when i drove it there)
Check front diff to see why its clunking, may not have gear fluid
Check TC stall speed and maybe replace?/Stupid engine!!!
Oh I almost forgot, I need a new McLovin air freshener too
To add to the list i found my exhaust hanger broke.
To update, i fixed one tire and bought three MTRs from andrew today.
I also removed the pasenger seat if that helps.
Tomorrow is wrenchin day.
I have a spare tie rod and drag link you can have for free. The ends are fucked tho.
thanks guys, i was in touch with the guy who was going to build my steering but he never got back to me with the parts. i grabbed some extra parts from my garage and will try to get it steerable tomorrow
fuck it dude..... hard steering.... you're gettin rid of those knuckles for wj ones anyway. just weld a piece of tube from one to the other. Make sure you get your toe set right first though.
drill hole for drag link. I win. $40 steering setup.
No worries, I'm not actually back, I'm just reminiscing about the old days.
