UPDATE
Had plans for the Chero, but a buddy in Michigan has been drooling over this vehicle, since I got it back from Bend, OR... Made me an offer I couldn't refuse, plus it will be going to a GREAT new home, as I KNOW he will do right by it...
Other than removing the running boards, had only gotten around to the following;
- driver door hinges rebuilt (door sag)
- hood pop-up assist spring cups straightened
- t-gate pins adjusted to fix rattle
- fuel tank filler & vent hoses replaced (dried out & leaking)
- shift lever & headlamp knobs epoxied on
- fuel filter hoses re-routed to correct starvation in 100 plus temps
- driver side eng mount replaced and restraint strap added
- all hinges, strikers, & latches lubed
While we were in Moab in May, my buddy rolled his YJ, so I located a nice tub, hood, & t-gate for him and had agreed to haul it to MI when I headed back in July for some salmon fishing... SO... got permission from the new owner to use the Chero in Ouray for my annual trip for the 4th of July in Ouray/Silverton... That way I can load both, then leave for MI, directly from Ouray area when we're done wheeling...
Loaded & ready to rock... Tossed in an old Honcho driver door I've been hanging onto for since forever, in case he bends one down the road... Don't need it cluttering my storage any longer...
