So... what you have you done to your rig since goneMOAB 2008? I know we've seen some crazy stuff already, like Kevin's SUT chop-job.
I'll start with my mod list:
-Heim TRE conversion
-Doug Thorley Headers
-ARB air locker
-slightly longer shocks in rear (better compression and extension)
-lighter coil springs for SAW C/Os in front
Still hoping to get done:
-extended rear bump stops
-light cage on factory roof rack

All my stuff is more maintenance stuff and redoing stuff that didn't work the way I wanted.
Replace steering box
Redo rear shock mounts with a less crappy design
Breaks
Tires
Check locker functionality
Replace motor mount
Repaint sliders
Replace drag link
Front coil monts are hitting coils
Fill Co2 tank and install mount
Figure out why my cb isn't working
Redo crossmember that the pinion is hitting
Fun stuff:
Figure out a way to mount my spare tire out of the way
Install ARB diff cover
Integrate hitch into rear bumper
Install new rear lift shackles
Roll on bed liner in bed
I'm sure I'm forgetting something

Its embarassing - I haven't done one single thing to mine. On the bright side it means no last minute scramble! See you in 2 weeks!

Jeez....I can't believe I've done all of that in less than a year. And I still have my snorkel mod to do but don't think I'll have that done for Moab.
Of course, most of this is Alex's fault for selling this stuff to me lol - but then much thanks must go to him for all his help too.

My girlfriend's taking the Fronty and we've installed over the last few months:
cromo axles (picked up from curleyman)
Stage 8 locking axle nuts. These things make bearing install/setup so easy.
baby ARB pump for the lockers
crawler gears
I won't get to go, but say hey when you see a yellow sased crew cab on 35s with no bed.

Ah come on Andrew, you KNOW you are going to squeaze in some time to get your snorkel put on before you go!
Is that why there's a ton of ABS pieces on my couch?
