got the seats, belts, trans cooler, radiator hold down, bat hold down, shocks, lift blocks, alt wiring, fuel cell, fuel breather, chrome valve cover all on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So i took her to TSF (tillamook state forest) and had a blast, had overheating problem probly due to insufficiant air from my elecrtic fan, so i will reinstall my mechanical fan, valve covers leak really bad, timing is off, carb needs ajusted, need to find a good air pressure for my boggers (lost beads on both of them) need a dif protector, rock sliders, air tank or compressor, CB, and a windsheild (the dust gets you quick) we started on saterday around 4 went on a couple of small trails to find that my truck overheats, so we headed back to camp and i installed a mini shroud extentin (duct tape) and still didnt help so we removed the tranny cooler from the back of the radiator and it seemed to alow more air flow, but still while crawling it would heat up, so? then sunday we hit the firebreaks and made it up the first rocky part, and while showing off i lost all the air in one of my boggers just barly lost the bead, so we left the truck because the spare was back at camp and we had no air to pump it up. so we get the new tire on and head up the next part, and i compleatly lose the other bogger off both beads, so after waiting a while someone comes along with air so we aired up the other bogger and put it back on and headed to the rock garden, made ti through the whole thing only had to use the hi-lift to stack rocks once and then drove through!!!! the guy that had helped air me up followed us to the garden in his cherokee with 35in MTRs and lock front and rear, full air pressure because he did not plan on doing anything crazy sence he came only with his girl and no other rigs, he made it throught but without hy-steer toatly bent his steering arm so we helped him get it off and fixed and as he was puting the jeep down the hy-lift jack hit him in the face twice in a row, it was bad so reamber to becarefull around thoughs, it jared him up good so we pulled his rig off the rocks and had his girl drive him back home.... all and all a great first trip for the new truck to test it out on, and i would say that i did a good job just a couple small things to address but hey it runs and is wheelable!!!!!!!!!!!

So i have taken it out a few times now and have found that i need to do/get a few more things, including:
Doors - Safety/weather Windsheild/wipers - Weather Heater - Duh
CB - Feeling very left out Radio - Need some entertainment Weld Oh S!!t Handels - Saftey, Hand up Fan shroud - Still overheating a little Steering Collom - removable steering wheel=not safe Timinig - just a little to advanced Hy-lift - Keep having to borrow one Snach Block - Could have used them last trip Tree Saver - " " Front Locker - Would take me to the next level Diff Armor - Should have got this a while ago Bump Stops - Before i go do any sand dunes or anything Trans Cooler Fan - Just to be safe
So a little work and i think i can get that mostly taken care of. Of course with a little money.
