As much fun as I had with &#8220;Jeep Week 2021,&#8221; I really hope to not have to crank so hard on a big project like that ever again&#8230; I&#8217;m getting too old for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now I just gotta get my &#8220;Jeep 3.0 Project&#8221; off the ground, which involves getting that 304 torn down and to the machine shop (not even going to play around with this one), then clean up the 999 &amp; D300 and service both, drill-out the D300 yokes to receive U-bolts (to get rid of those problematic U-joint straps I&#8217;ve always hated), clean up and repaint the drive shafts &amp; brake pedal assembly, rebuild the steering column &amp; automatic transmission linkage, install my Conn-Ferr 1&#8243; shackles (up front), clean up the firewall, refurbish the engine-side wiring harness, obtain all of the needed engine &amp; drivetrain parts, and put that sucker back together. Then I can swap the stereo head unit and tune-up the amps &amp; speakers, adapt the TJ seat brackets to the CJ floor (to get those TJ seats lowered back down to &#8216;normal&#8217; height), re-install the factory HVAC, install a BedRug carpet kit, paint the YJ top and doors, then take it to the exhaust shop for a new proper dual exhaust with a set of Magnaflows before ordering the Eagle 589s and 35&#215;12.50 Swamper SSRs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sounds quick and easy if you read it fast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning Dave took off at Oh-Dark-Thirty for Phoenix, and had a helluva trip ahead of him.
