well its that time of year again . and i have been thinking hard on what i want need to do for this winter's projects ..and i'm interested on what my family up north was planning .
this winter i will be trying to do what i need to do vs want ..
like catch up on the maintance on my Daily drivers vs my toy rigs and fix all the oil leaks and body damage from yrs of wheeling my DD ..
and hopefully paint the scout finally all 1 color ..
clean out all the old project stuff i will never do anything with before we head to lower 48 next year .
Get moved. And work. that's my main goals. Besides those two I hope to either drastcally change the XJ or get rid of it and start on something else. But we'll see.
Where to start...
77 Blazer needs substantial work: Trans/t-case, exhaust, hub maintenance, and electrical greemlins removed
90 Blazer needs the clutch/pressure plate figured out and the plow finished moutning
85 Burban - engine swap
75 Truck may eventually get a flatbed built.
Have
Truck Farm projects as well:
- bumper for an '04 Chevy
- gears for a 9.15 dodge
- axle swap for AK Mark's Blazer
- another few stealth (for now) projects
- 4 different trucks/Blazer's I could rebuild and sell.
Then there's the
Skitzo:
- new engine
- possible trans/t-case swap
- front axle work
- possible buggy spring the front
Then there's the
other projects on the backburner:
Vega
41 Chevy truck
Possible incoming stealth project
I just can't figure out how I'm to spend the rest of my free time. :eek:
this fall is the start of project Lil' Chief for me. I am gathering parts at breakneck speed at this point and hope to turn the first wrench on it in October. The ZJ project won't be the only steed in the stable at the NBM household as I have been looking at a few oher options as well including a '43 military

Man I've got too much to do
oh yeah, I also need to build some ramp holders for my car hauler, mount my tow strap box and.....
just kidding. A look at craigslist shows a 43 heep in fair shape for 1200. I am going to swing by for a look this coming weekend and see if the guy will come off it for less.
Forgot to add, air suspension for rear of the Burb if I can afford it, as I don't like the way it sags.
Did you all read that the way I did?
Mark "sags" :tease:
Man, and I even rewrote that three times before posting.
If my knees didn't hurt, I'd go to your place and kick you in the shin.
