    I need to lay eyes on my new rig, then decide what I have to do, according to my brother is is just rear axle swap, fab track bar mount, and not sure what else, either that or take one of the other rigs, we will see what happens

    Need to see if my front locker is broken. If so replace it, if not diagnose the strange clicking noise

    Fix Alto damage (bent LR spring, busted rear axle, broken LF ujoint, whatever else I find along the way)
    Give Lurch his yearly Lucas/Oil change
    possibly touch up paint (woodgrain and yellow is showing through pretty good again)
    load up.

    Sam, refer to post #21 in this thread. I'm pretty sure you are having a similar issue.

    Made lots of progress. Jason's jeep just needs some cleaning up under the hood where things got relocated, hood latch added and the whole top thing was a mess.
    We tried to put new top on his jeep and it was too tight to get all the way on. When trying to put window in we broke the zipper. So I pulled it off and stuck it on mine. I got it on all the way and went to put opposite window in and broke that. Zipper. So I guess it is just an expensive POS I'm sending back. Never even opened the box for the second one. Hopefully they can get me some different tops soon.
    Tate jeep lacks driveshafts. Need antifreeze overflow that I trashed last trip. Some tweaking of shifter linkage after dive shafts are in and of course a new top. There are other things but mostly not needed before the trip.
    Busa jeep got air in front tires today because it decided to not have any in them. I don't think I am going to bother taking it to Clayton.

    Jeep tops can't be cold. Esp when new. It needs to be warmed up the material shrank. Put it inside the house or in a car with the heater on or something. The material shrinks when cold.

    Need to check out Lynda's Jeep and make sure everything is still OK from our trip to CO. It was still working when I backed it into the garage so it should be good. We still have the problem with blowing out the power steering pump - did it once in CO. Might see about making another big change there.

    I heated the top. The main part went on ok. But do to poor location and crappy quality zippers I broke another one. I'm shipping these poorly made crap back and getting something else.

    Rugged Ridge XHD Bowless. They are sending me two more of the same tops. He said I would have to pay return postage if I get another brand. Also said to heat the crap out of them and then use a hair dryer to get them on the first time. If the new ones don't work then I'll pick out a different one.

    Well the only thing left on the Tate Jeep is putting the rear driveshaft back in when I get it back from being shortened.
    Jason's TJ only lacks hood latch instillation and new top when it comes in (if it does that is)
    Car Hauler #1 has new fenders coming in tomorrow some time. Old ones need cut off and new ones installed. Also have to fix a badly bent taillight housing
    Car Hauler #2 is just going without brakes. I don't feel like working on it.
