Crawl Daddy Champion 2011
1999 XJ 4 inchs of lift or so, 35s and some other stuff.
new TRE at steering box, hockey pucks for front bumps since theres 0 need for me to spend the money on prothanes for a crawling event, 4" speakers in the dash, maybe put my SYE in since i've had the parts and driveshaft for a while now, and lastly a surprise if i have enough cash for it
new draglink and new TREs are sitting in the jeep waiting to be installed, front hockey pucks are waiting to get glued on, speakers are in, LED rocklights are in, the surprise wont be getting done, its not needed for this trip.
Make 2 more control arms, tracbar, steering, assemble front end, gears on both axles, lock the front end, frame stiffen, diff covers, wheels, tires, driveshafts, windshield, weld perches on rear axle, four shockmounts, order 1 shock, take carpet and seats out of jeep, dry carpet, remount seats, exhaust with possibly custom downpipe, front spring perches and holders, and try to throw some paint on the new parts.
Not real confident I'll make it, 12 hour days with one day off a week is tough to get shit done on the jeep. I also found out last night that this outage at work may last a few weeks so there's a good chance I won't even be able to come. On top of that I have work to do to the trailer and the caprice.
