NACFest 2019 To-Do list
- Thread starter Rob Mayercik
- Start date
I already have the kit as I assume the bolts will snap. and I've replaced everything on the AC except the compressor and yes, that seems to be where it's leaking
Finish the rear disc conversion DONE
Bleed brakes DONE
Alignment DONE
Get inspected DONE
Hope it drives ok still and nothing else breaks
Oil Change DONE
Fluid checks
Somehow passed inspection. They didn't say a thing about all the damage. Gonna recheck the steering and maybe switch it back to underneath the pitman arm. Something just feels off with it. I'm hoping this will be the last year that I actually have to drive it to RC. Hopefully see a truck in my future.

Got the passenger tail-light changed over to 97+ sockets finally, and picked up a new fan clutch that I'll install next weekend.
Still got a couple things I want to do yet - assemble the relay box I'm adding as part of the driving lights rewire, filler panel to create more dash plaque room, check battery(am concerned it's weakening, and I've only got about a month left on the warranty), improve the CB microphone extension cable, and check the aim on my headlights - but I'm not in bad shape, all things considered.
Of course, I had to spray foaming wasp killer around my headlights twice yesterday to try and convince the little buggers to stop trying to nest back in there, hopefully once or twice more and I'll be certain they've gotten the hint...

NACfest prep. I washed it and realized it was bent. I added some shackles, thanks ironmanfab.

Well the Jeep is about as ready as it's gonna get. Just gotta hope it makes it there.
I'm making a first run up there tomorrow early am to drop off items for the Fest, and I'm leaving the jeep there so it's waiting for me Tuesday night. This year's shirts and dash plaques are in hand, all will be up there. Gotta try to get over to RC and see about some day passes foe the raffle as well. Fiona has a new battery and I'm just going to have to live with the clanking of my shot out shackle bushings, the heads on the lower bolts are so rock rashed I'll have to cut them off, and I'm not dealing with that now.
With almost no rubber left, they aren't even bushings any more. I like to think of them as "high angle air joints"

Rv and jeep got yearly oil changes.

Fan clutch is done.
Serp. Belt tension checked and adjusted
Battery check tomorrow.
Still have to check headlight aim and work on the relay box for the driving lights, though the latter is not required to be done (it's in the 'nice to have' category).

Well jeep is on trailer. Still no rocker protection and/or inside winch controls. The worst part is i own the parts to make both of these to happen. Maybe later, see every one soon

Thought you might like to know.
Actually going to moab I learn stuff.
Just a last minute update folks! In addition to the formerly mentioned pile of raffle items we already have, mr Simon (Jordan) leveraged a contact he has from quadratec, along with some chapter monies, to make this 20th anniversary one for the books!
We will now also have 4 recovery kits, an arb camp chair, and 2 winches for our raffle!
As of now, we have 45 people registered, so buy early and buy often, I'd say you're chances are VERY GOOD!!!!
