    Spring To-Do lists

    Well..wheeling season is around the corner..what's everyone's lists?
    Mine:
    new ujoints in rear axle
    complete fluid change (engine,TH400,QT)
    16" rims and one elusive MT Km2 305...
    battery for my nice new alternator to charge up.
    new carb or at least something better than the cardboard gasket I made for it..the vaccum whooshing is neat to listen too but the mileage sucks.
    1979 Chero S "Sundog" 1979 Chero S "Hammer"
    1968 327 J3000 1978 J10SWB
    The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.

                  Well, the PLAN is to put 5,000 highway miles on the Money Badger between a move to Kentucky (2,500mi) and a trip to Ouray (1,250mi), then back to Kentucky (1,250mi, again) in June and July. My list is far too long to post up here, but after Ouray last summer, I can say for sure it's going to start with the seats!

                  Razor swap
                  Fancy exhaust (Thrush Muffler)

                    Hope I actually get to wheel
                    Add a leafs in the front and old 3/4 ton springs in the rear until I can afford a lift (donations accepted )
                    Not break anything in between
