I remember the wives took a day off in Moab and went shopping etc. There is a winery if any spouses are interested on one of the days.

Restoration of sanity! Actually I’m on it. Rick saw me! 😂 Maybe, just maybe he will vouch for me getting after it. 😅

Surely you're closer than some of these other guys tackling big rebuilds, repairs, or swaps 30 days out from a trip that's been on the calendar for months?

It sucks because mine is ready to go but I just can't swing that trip 😞 I may be able to hit Sand Hollow late in the year though.

I think it’s crazy to contemplate what these guys are planning pre-Hollow, but I’m less than mediocre at working on these.

My three main goals are
1) thermostatic bypass. Mostly done. Plumbed in. Two hoses to run.
2) Setrab cooler. Installed. Just connect one hose.
3) hydro assist. Relocate CC module, install reservoir, run hoses, bleed system.

Leaving on vacation Sunday. Everything I needed to weld and paint is done. Will finish when I return. Hopefully 2 more days max. I need several outings to make sure everything is kosher. I’m not ok finishing and hitting trail. It’s not fair to everybody else and it’s dumb on my part.

Yep, that’s me!

Axle swap, mid arm, rear outboard, hydro assist. The front is almost done.
 
My LJ's been up on my lift for over 2 years now, and I'd guess I'm about half-way done. I was making pretty good progress by putting off "other duties as assigned," but those duties have now been assigned and my build is suffering... :mad:

I won't be making any plans until it's done because I know better. :cool:
