[Shaggy]

Clayton is 6 weeks out. time to come up with a to do list

-Transfercase Drop kit. (rear driveshaft bines up at flex)
-Rear locker (weld)
-Re-install back seat seatbelts
-Get spare parts (front and rear driveshafts, dana 30 and 35 spare shafts)
-replace broken bulb im one KC light
-Rock sliders (if I have time)
I think that is it... pretty short list

update

picked up dana 30 shafts and hub asembly at the j-yard out of a 91 xj last week. just pulled my tj shafts to make sure they are the same and they are. I pulled the plastic off the passanger rocker and found a dent. am going to start sliders after i eat an early lunch. i tore a dana 35 down at the yard the other day most of the way but ran out of time before they closed. I need to get back out there and grab those shafts. Also need atleast a rear spare driveshaft and to tear my dana35 down and weld it up. dont have many days off between now and the trip so hopefully today is productive

[Shaggy]

pulled the dana35 this morning and cleaned it in the parts washer. oil in it was factory and still very clean. Going this evening to use an uncle's mig to weld it up. didn't think my arc welder was up to it with my rusty skills.

also pulled my driveshaft to compare it to the spare one I picked up. As I was afraid of it is 1.5" longer and needs to be cut down. Will knock that out after I finish the sliders.

a couple pics of the sliders mached up... nothing is welded up yet
