Whats everyone going to do to modify their rigs more over the next year?

Myself I am 4 linking the front with a set of ORIs and rear steer with a pair of steering rocks. Going to take some work to fit them and keep current ride height.
 
What?... We have a full year to get ready? I am sure I won't change anything, but will wait till the last minute to do it.
 
No, you have a 50 weeks to plan what you want to do and 2 weeks to execute.
 
I need to get my non-running 4runner, running, then we are driving it there, wheeling light, and driving home. :D
 
Also turn my fan bolts around so that they won't poke the radiator on the next hard hit.:D
 
Hmmm rebuild the cage full hydro. I think thats going to be about it. Would like to get the front linked but I don't think thats going to happen
 
Probably front links, maybe full hydro but at least a double ended ram.
 
I am, but I'm not sure the orbital will go in right away. I was hitting my hydro fittings on my steering box with my old tires, that was why I wanted to go full hydro. The new tires seem to miss the fittings and just rub the box a bit.
 
PSC is replacing my 2.5 Double ended Ram with a 2.75 Double ended Ram . They are aware of the problem that the 2.5 is not powerfull enough to turn the 44" tires when in a bind. I already found a Ford Windstar dual electric fan at the local junk yard and I will install it and get rid of the mechanical fan & shroud as sugested by a few people at BB.
 
Longer rear springs, maybe some more wheelbase too

What's wrong with your mechanical fan?
 
When the blazer twisting the shroud and fan was hitting making not so good noises at times. I figured an easy fix instead of cutting up my shroud. The 555 fits a little different than the old motor for some reason.
 
Tie your roll cage in to the front of your frame, that will fix the fan shroud problem and prevent lots of frame problems that you'll be getting from the twisting.
 
I might wash some dirt off between now and BB13....
 
taller springs for the rear, inboard my rear shocks a little less, new rear driveline, yoke at the rear axle, change to a flange on the rear output of the 205, replace my heater core, install a tranny cooler, and a fuel filter.

Lots of other plans but time and money will tell where we go from here.

Hopefully complete the powder puff run. Maybe a new driver would help????:dunno:
 
Fix the leaky tranny cooler lines.

might get sick of the smoke and put the motor from the tow rig in it but that would mean the tow rig gets the 6bt but we will see. Might not be a bad idea sense I will have the whole front end apart getting to the tranny cooler.

Go on from there.
 
I hope to loose some weight in the rear. Build new rear bumper, smaller. Mount my new HID lights, winch, and 40's maybe 42's. Onboard air.

The best part is my wife has got the bug for it now so that means I get to spend more $$$$$
