ok, so this summer I will be home from school and finally making some decent money so i've decided to put together a list of things I plan to do, these are mainly just maintence things, but I could use some input of what you guys would do to keep her running good for another 20 years

Here is my list so far (most important stuff first):
1.fix rear brake issues: new drums, wheel cylinders, and brake shoes
2.change oil, and filter
3.change tranny fluid and filter
4.new oil in differentials
5.lube all grease fittings
6.new shocks all around
7.recharge/retrofit A/C
8.new 3" lift from BJ's (if $ allows)

how does that look to y'all? keep in mind this rig has almost 200k miles on it and the PO did not maintain it at all, am I missing anything that seems important to you guys? sorry if this is too many questions :rolleyes:

haha i'm assuming this is in regards to the rear brakes, i'd really like to have 4 wheels with braking power, not just the front 2 like I have now, it's not fun to back down a boat ramp only to realize you're not stopping :thumbsup: (dont worry though, the jeep didnt go for a swim, I threw it in drive and saved it)

Sounds like a good starting list. If you have any electrical issues i would sort them out as soon as possible> i had a close call this weekend at jambo here in town and i got the magic white smoke from under the dash.

I would look at a hydroboost setup for your brakes. dont know how much you have to spend but its one up grade i need to do to mine!

Good luck! :thumbsup:
