[Heckraiser]

Most of this crap has been on my to-do list for a year or more:

• Replace all suspension bushings and bent radius arm (I have the bushings and the arm, just not the time)
• Install Lantank Caster Correction (currently have busted yellow bushings)
• Proper sway bar end links
• LCP Puma mount or some other storage solution for my compressor
• Paint hood and rear hatch (rig is 3 different colors due to junkyard parts)
• Weld up towing solution for rear cross member
• Fix rust around windshield and in A-pillar, get new windshield
• definitively identify drive-train noise and fix
• replace broken/missing exhaust hangers
• adjust drag link to straighten steering wheel
• rear heat delete--pipes are looking pretty rotten

Lower priority stuff:

• Make some sliders
• turbo
• Gears of some sort (crawler low at a minimum, maybe high range reduction or diffs also)
• make a front bumper to accomodate FMIC
• Replace front seats
• crossmember
• maybe hunt down some oil leaks?
• door seals and maybe window runs?

Stuff I have actually been able to accomplish recently:

• installed koso temp gauge
• got a proper spare mounted
• de-rusted some midwestern radius arms via electrolysis (felt like Bill Nye the Science Guy)

Even in it's shabby state, the clunker is ready to wheel at a moment's notice, but I would like to do some stuff to prepare for rubicon next summer.
