I know it may seem on some of this i may be going back A**words... but to me it makes since.
1) Figure out what happened to my t-case.. drained it and stuck a screwdriver up that hole that was shown in flints page.. never felt a chain..
... so dunno???
2)Fix the wiring.. if ya dont understand see pics... its to the point of scareing me. and that takes alot.looks like on average some of the lines have been cut and put back together 3-4 times in a 12in stretch.
3) Tires. there bald!!! gotta fill em up with air every few days. all 5 of em.
4) New exaust the one on there is .. um.. holier then swiss cheese.
5) start stripping the body in sections and finding out what the PO did to it .. already did a few spots and found MAJOR amounts of bondo
and when i say that i mean inch thick spots rounding out the front corners both sides of the hood. Also at the same time start replacing panells. Reason for this is to try and save the body .. well whats left of it. this step would be off an on as time and $$ permits. leave it as a primer till rest is done. do to the fact of finding DEEP huge rents and having cancer through and through it will be a LONG time in doing and replacing panels.
6) use the Do it yourself Rhino lining on the inside floor of the jeep totally front to back. also the wheel wells. and put a new undercoat on it if needed
7) Motor upgrade either to a full 401 or a 360 with 401 heads and crank. NOt sure totally what way. also replacing all vacum and other lines with heavier duty versions.. steel braided.. steel lines or whatever i can find that will work.
the next few things will be added as i can find them and or get the extra bonus $
Roof Rack, 4-6 inch lift with all added ( not sure what style i wanna go with or how exactly on that) extra lights, heavier front and rear bumpers with winch front and back. VERY VERY last would be a new interior. upgrading brakes.
I plan on using this as a sometimes daily driver/work truck.. im trying to build it up as a pulling rig also. up to a few tons easilly at a time i would like it to be able to handle. and yes i know with the lift im loosing mpg etc. but like i said i plan on making this thing into a MOSTLY full heavy duty work/pull rig.
Please feel free to add ideas or poke holes in the ones i have. and or ask questions.
