If you haven't already now is the time to crawl under your Jeep for final inspection. Make sure all fluids are topped off, inspect all hoses and belts. Grease all fittings and hinges. Inspect fuel lines. Check shackle and spring bolts, u-bolts and driveshaft. Inspect steering components. Tighten your locking hub bolts. Check for wear and replace if needed. Inspecting your Jeep now will help avoid possible delays on the trail.
For your Jeep: first aide kit, basic personal items (water, food, radio, sunblock, sunglasses, extra cloths, etc). A basic tool kit, spare ignition key, tow strap, d-rings, leather gloves, flashlight, and trash bag.
Additional items that may come in handy: Duct tape, bailing wire, zip ties, rags, bungee cords, JB weld, and rope.
Unfortunately I won't be under my Jeep until I arrive in Colorado. The garage crew will have 2 full days to work on any Jeep that is in the shop.
I have a transfercase swap planned. I built a 3.15 geared 20 that I gave to Bobby (Bluerocket) to haul to Bill D's shop from back east. I also gave him a set of seats that I need to install as well. Additionally I'll need to do an intake manifold gasket, rocker repair, oil & filter, rotate tires, drag link adjustment, plus the previous mentioned maintenance items.
There will also be a trans swap, and carb rebuild on other Jeeps as well.
If there is enough interest I'll start a "Colorado Springs to Moab Excursion" thread that would highlight travels to the shop, play the shop, and travel to Moab.
We have tackled more and made it.
Sunday is our travel day, right? Of course, there is the hope of a wheeling day in the Springs.
