AGHHHH!!! I really hate the mobile app right now. Finally pictures that are not just parts and such and I can't see the. Cause the mobile app is being stupid as usual.... have to find a computer to check them out.

My mobile app has been about 50/50 lately. You're going to see it in action IN PERSON in a couple weeks anyway.
Mine wouldn't let me view them this morning either. It eventually worked, but took like 3 or 4 refreshes.
Just FYI: Don't hate Woody for it, it's the developer's crappy program, not the site itself.
I hold no ill will toward Woody. He does an awesome job, and it isn't the end of the world, just aggravating.
I'd had issues posting before and Woody actually replied to help me out - the ensuing conversation revealed his less-than-enthusiastic opinion of the app. He's working on a fix.

So here's my new list:
Oil change - Never changed it since I put the engine in. No telling how long it's been...
Hubs - Going to pull them and "rebuild" which is basically just cleaning up and reassembly
Valve cover gasket - That thing is pouring. Going to replace it and the half moons.
LED lights - Going to install and wire. I tried connecting them straight to the high beams but that's not gonna work so... I'll figure something out.
Roll cage - For reasons already mentioned, this is high on the list. The company I was looking at has pre-built DOM cages in stock ready to ship out. I was seriously considering an exo, even though I'm not crazy about how they look, but I don't want to try too cobble something together and it look terrible. (The interior cage is also going to force me to address the seat "brackets." Which are just square pieces of tube and make the seat sit higher off the floor than they probably need to.)
E-brake - Wasn't holding very well. Just going to double check everything.
Only a couple weeks til GSMTR!

Something I just remembered that I learned recently about hubs: You can easily put too much grease in them which will cause a type of hydro lock. Maybe you just have too much in there.
I know who's gonna be night wheeling with me now - yay!

Yeah we were already discussing that. Technically they are not supposed to be greased (like you would a wheel bearing). Only a light coating or just some lithium grease spray.

I have heard that day can quickly turn into evening/night at Windrock since it's so spread out... I think the LEDs are a must.
AGREED!

I just ordered the 4xinnovations interior kit. DOM tubing, all pre-bent, notched, oh sh*t handles, ready to weld in. I'll just have to watch my head when I'm bouncing around in the cab.

Ok that's sweet, but how in the world do you weld that while it's in there?! I'm assuming it can't be welded and then put in...

I was going to point you to 4xinnovations but their site said 2-3 weeks delivery time. I guess you called and they had one already made?

Yeah that's what I saw as well. I sent them an email and asked if that was delivery time or build time or what. He replied that they had the DOM cages built already, in stock, and ready to ship. He did mention that it takes them about 3 weeks to build one PLUS ship time. So I lucked out.

A couple other items:
Spare tire - if I can find one cheap that's the right size.
Rear U-joint - very loose
CB antenna - ? I could hear the other guys ok as long as I was close. They couldn't hear me at all though.
