Between maintenance and mods, that list just never ends. My wife keeps asking me, "When are you ever going to be done working on your U8Jeep?" Then it's usually followed by, "It's old...just go buy a new one." I'm like, it's old but still runs great, it's in great condition, and most of all, I still really like it. Even if I was to buy new, she just wouldn't be able to understand, in that if I'm not busy fixing something, I'ld be spending time modding something instead, and by the time the modding is done, then the maintenance starts to roll back around. It's a never ending cycle, but how do you explain that to a spouse who just doesn't get it?
I have even done by best to focus my mods around needed maintenance.
Shocks need replaced? Time for the lift. Brakes needed, time for BBK. Due for new tires? Time to go big. Front bumper creased? Time for winch mountable steely. Rear bumper scratched up? Time for a rear steely. Need a new tie-rod end? HD tie rod and drag link. U-joints creaking? Now, you know why I'm looking at a replacement drive shaft. .

Currently planning to take the wife and her family who is visiting from Brazil, to Silver Lake sand dunes Mid July. Trying to get the HD ball joints in, brake pads, front wheel bearing hub, replacement Adam's drive shaft, and my new dash cam install all completed before then.....but she's on my azz, at the same time to complete some in the house renovations before then as well......never enough time or money to get everything done.
