Blazer Bash to do lists?

[cybrfire]

What do your guys' lists look like?

Mine is pretty long and fairly involved. We just started rebuilding the engine in the blazer. Alot of things I'll be changing up at the same time including new instrumentation for the engine.

Some photos of the engine work to come.

Some Driveshaft work. Last time out I popped 5 ujoints and the last one took the ears off the shaft when it went.

Blazer could use a real CB radio.

On board air needs a new check valve between the air tank and the pump. Leaks down through the pump.

Gotta get the crewcab finished up which is out of my hands right now and get a trailer purchased.

Paint, shocks, shackle flip, interior, engine rebuild, and a small wiring issue
got all the parts just not the time.

My summer to do list:

1) finally replace the trans that pops out of 3rd

2) install my hi-steer

3) Install 56s up front, longer good quality shocks, and a real front d-shaft

4) Make a metal frame for the bed and put racks on it for the kayaks

5) Move the tank between the frame rails.

I gotta drive it up onto the trailer and make the 4 hour drive to Moab.

Finish up making a couple trans/t-case crossmembers, fab up the triple shifters, wheel a bunch here in CO and then drive the buggy onto the trailer to head to Moab in Sept

1. Graduate college.
2. Get a real job.
3. Stay single.
4. Retire.
5. Spend savings on building the blazer and buying a towrig/trailer.
6. Drive to Moab.
7. Wheel.
8. Die due lack of food and water, couldn't fit it in the budget and I'll be really old when all of this is complete so my body just gave out.
