It's been sitting here ignored far too long again. Lots of important reasons getting in the way, but still it shouldn't be sitting. This sounds like a good idea. I'll jump in.



Here's the top of the list to get it driveable:

• ✔New registration. (I put the sticker on yesterday)
• Fire it up to keep it running. It's been a couple of months.
• Install the windshield.
• Install a battery hold down & check the cables.
• Bolt down the seats.
• Install belts.
• Install mirrors.
• Install bumpers.
• Install hood pins.
• Fire extinguisher.
• Drive it around the block. See if it still needs re-gearing just to drive even after the np435 swap. Possibly re-gear.
• Clean up the rats nest wiring & install a new fuse box.
• Work out fan details to replace the small electric fan that mickey mouse hard wires directly to the battery currently.
• Build & install 4x4x2 steering box.
• Work out the power steering pump & york pump bracketry.
• Complete power steering hoses & all.
• Clean up & build floor trim panels around shifter area.
• Quieter cleaner exhaust. It is law enforcement attracting loud currently.
• Install wipers.

Down the road:

• Prime it all one color.
• Install the new flares.
• Raise the scoop a little. It's too low after the 1" body lift.
• Complete the hood around the scoop.
• Rims & tires.
• Swap motors.
• Re-gear for trail use if not done earlier for driveability.
• Complete OBA plumbing & tank.
• Resolve window details. Install windows or remove frames.
• Body work & paint.
• Bedliner.
• Install soft top.
• Recover seats.
• Door & bed panels.
• Test & repair heater as needed.
• Glove box.
• Radio/speakers.

Wow. Just having a list to focus on is going to help. Thanks.
