Figure out whats up with my steering..... that could take a while
replace roof with something that provides more shade. Clear Lexan looks cool, but
rebuild steering shaft mount
maybe retube the doors too for easier access
repaint
rebuild engine mounts
decide if I want to re-axle
replace fairlead, lost a part at the Hammers
maybe modify the firewall for better visability

Haven't been to the Rubicon yet either, maybe this year is "the" year.

Definately! We'll have to get together and do it!!

Hey, what are you using for the steering shaft mount? The stock ones in the TJ's suck...I keep going through them and would like something more 'robust'.

The steering shaft in my buggy is a 1" tube shaft so I bought a couple of bushings and a tube to mount them in. I am going to weld it in place and hope that will work better than the hymes I have been using.
