ongoing work party

[TJVigilante]

Air compressor and winch control I'm going to put near the top for priority. I'm going to price out some copper tubing and a tube bender for it, as well as some hose that can take these temperatures. I have some teflon paste I want to use instead of the tape, and I also need/want to buy some valves to isolate/bypass sections of the system. The harder trick would be redoing the tank's input, which includes putting some new metal inside, drilling it back out and tapping it correctly for a 1/2" NPT fitting. That's not too super-important, I can always load it up with teflon paste to seal it up. All this stuff can actually wait until I'm more stable...money to be spent doesn't agree with my situation at the moment. The winch controls would be pointless if I don't have some way of connecting the power cables to my battery, since I trashed the Optima with the marine wingnut terminals on the top. The new battery has terminals on the side that I know they make wingnut adapters for, but I'm not convinced that I can fit them in on my Jeep...clearances are tight back in that little corner.

Next would come the body lift/MML and installation of the new springs I got from Jeff. I didn't get the carpeting or glue yet, but if I can find the dimensions from Darick's thread again I might head out and grab that stuff too.

I also need to fix the passenger side windshield wiper before the melt comes.
