I've lived in AZ most of my life. I lived in upstate New York for 6 months (winter) and Connecticut for 2 years while I was in the Navy, I couldn't wait to get back to somewhere it didn't snow. I hate being cold.

Now I have to go to pick a part yard tomorrow to cut an A/C line off of a truck. Blew a hole though the aluminum TIG welding it today.
After I drive 130 miles each way to get the RTI ramp for BB. Guess I should have started sooner.

Just finished front suck down. Now pack luggage and wash tow rig.
Picked up RTI ramp today. Got it out of the truck and on the trailer by my self. Amazing what you can do with an engine hoist.
Got a wild hair and started a rear bumper. Just using what I have.

I've got a new list of things to do before we hit the road next week:
1. Build and install sliders
2. Mount spare tire somewhere
3. Bleed my front brakes a bit better (pulls hard to the right with the new prop valve and master cylinder, was good before)
4. Take hubs off and check wheel bearings (got a funny squeak out of the front end...)
5. Install diff vent tube on the front axle
6. Check all fluid levels and top up as required
7. Build a platform to go in the back to use as a bed. Install foam mattress and bedding.
8. Finish loading up gear into the truck.
Should be able to deal with all of the above this weekend, no problem!
I'll load up Monday, and hit the road first thing in the AM on Tuesday. We're gonna drive 14hrs to Eric's place in Idaho Falls the first day then 3hrs to Kevin's place (making a stop at Tom Wood's Driveshafts in Ogden, UT) on Wednesday Morning and finish the final 5hrs to Moab from there for a Wednesday night arrival. I am staying at Slickrock Campground in site 29.

Not sure I like the sound of that. You unloaded the RTI ramp and started building a bumper with some steel you happen to have....
I would not use any of that old rusty stuff I picked up at your place.
Just needs a flapper disc... 
Now I did it.
Was going to pick a part Saturday morning with a friend. Wind was blowing at 60mph gusts. Loading a tool box in my truck, wind hit, spun me. The rebuilt hip did not like that at all. Have been laid up for 2 days now. Jimmy is in pieces. Trailer is not done. Not even sure I could get in the Jimmy to drive it. Will be in Moab even if the Jimmy does not go.

I know the feeling. I just dumped boiling water on my bear foot..... I guess the only good part for me is i finished loading this afternoon. so i can take it easy for a few days.
hope yours heals fast
LOL you guys are making me feel better.
On last monday I thought I was getting a head cold. Took me down for 2 days for the most part. Thursday I hit myself in the head with a pry bar or possibly my fist or possibly the part I was getting out, not sure which anyway all of us were laying on the floor when I came too
Now today the cold my whole family has had is attacking me!
Onward and upward gents
I think everyone needs to spend the next couple days wrapped in duct tape and bubble wrap.
I aint done yet man. I promise to be careful though
I am down to mostly fun stuff. Only thing I really need to do is replace the bushings when they get here on tuesday
Tuesday? Yates and will be driving by your place tuesday and spending the night on the north side of SL
Stop by! I am only 15 minutes out of your way!

If I can't get in the drivers side. I can't get in the passenger side either. Feeling a little better today. Taking a stab at heading to the hanger to work on it.
Yes we are. We are heading out around 10. Not in a huge hurry tommorw. What time are you guys heading out Wednesday?
