[Popsgarage]

Finally got the damn thing running and immediately started several other projects. Need to learn to finish one before I start another.

[Coonburger]

bought a large stick of dynamite and this year ill blow the thing up lol

[The StRanger]

Just kept the DD drivin... (front brakes & maint)
Ghosthunter (sam jr) got a 81 full size Bronco (& blew the motor)
Did a Krylon O/H, Still need to install
Replaced the engine in the DILs baby Blazer
Did a reseal on Wicked engine, didnt work (cracked heads)

[Rob]

Modified the FJ Cruiser's front passenger side fender flare on a rock on Crystal Mountain, then removed it. :D

Nothing done to the FJ40, except for purchasing a set of third members with 4.10 gears. They're sitting in the garage, but they should go on this winter or spring, along with (I hope) a locker in the rear.

I did modify my wife's RAV4 to carry our Irish wolfhound to and from the dog park and Murdoch's (both girls' favorite store). That consisted of removing the rear seats and putting in netting (which originally was used to hold down stuff in the FJC) to keep Kyla from trying to get her 110 pounds into the front seat, along with a large rubber mat (from Murdoch's, of course) to keep the carpet from getting trashed.

[The StRanger]

Well I did get some new canvas seat covers and the dual c/b antannas

[CS79bronco]

Well, let me try to remember. :confused:
79 Bronco: moved from driveway to back yard, back to driveway, pulled gas tank, pushed into garage, covered & filled with parts, motor, tranny, junk, etc. For 2013: probably stay where it is. :frown:
86 Bronco: Cut out cargo floor, installed gas tank & skid plate even with frame rails, built enclosure for gas tank & filler tube, built front winch bumper, installed 12.5K winch, built rear bumper with swing out tire carrier, wheeled a few times, replaced twisted tranny cross member, installed two skid plates for tranny & t-case, dug a squirrels nest out from on the inner fender, rewired fuel pump relay(thanks to squirrels). :lmao: For 2013: build rollcage,rebuild spare carrier, wheel it more! :thumb:
95 Bronco: Replaced alternator bearings, replaced RF u-joint, replaced starter, picked up 7.5 (460) from machine shop,(ouch, pocketbook hurts), bought 10.5 rear axle I found lying on ground at Upull, installed rear tube bumper from Upull, replaced gas tank after hitting rock, made & installed skid plate for gas tank, wheeled a few times. :jiggy: For 2013: find a front Dana 60 & leaf springs & do SAS, install 10.5 rear with 4:10 gears & Detroit, shackle flip to level with front SAS, swap 5.0/M5OD/BW1356 for 7.5/ZF5/NP205, find new wheels & 37s, build rollcage, build rock sliders & install, go wheelin! :D

[KFM1961]

2012 - Parked the Tracker in the back driveway when I took a new job. Let the battery die, charged it. Moved it to the front driveway, let the battery die, charged it. Moved it to the back driveway. Collected parts for the straight axle swap. Letting those collect dust and dirt, then I'll clean and install them.
For 2013 I'm going to try to wheel the thing instead of just charging the battery!

[xaza]

2012, woooo hoooo I didn't have to change a motor this year!

98 Grand Cherokee - On back burner for 2012 after installing motor at the end of 2011. For 2013 would like to get intake manifold, exhaust and tuner installed. Want to make a pass at strip before gearing down to 4:10 gears and removing the lift kit.

94 Cherokee - Axle swap to Dana 44s with 4.88 gears and e-lockers. RE track bar and mounting bracket. Rusty's steering. For 2013, bumpers, skid plates, winch, bigger tires (still debating size/lift combos), frame stiffeners/exo cage, hood louviers. Hopefully will get electric fan conversion installed with new radiator. High power alternator/power invertor (big enough to run impact gun on trail). Lighting for night trails....pretty sure that will fill my year, but it's not my complete list.

01 Grand Cherokee - Remote start alarm, speakers. For 2013 - routine maintenance (wifes rig staying stock)

[Hypoid]

I decided to install the Brown Dog motor mounts I bought a couple years ago. Since I had to go there, I swapped over to the oil filter adapter used on newer Cherokees.

The result is less parasitic loss in the drive train, no rod clatter on startup. :)

[Funrover]

Sadly all 2012 brought my rig was asphalt. concrete and very little dirt. In 2013 I am hoping to see trails!

[96blkbeauty]

Bronco didn't get much...a new stereo and I found an original Eddie Bauer cargo cover on C-list for a great price so I picked it up.

Ranger got a bunch of mods...3 inch lift, 33x12.50 Duratracs, 15x8 MB72's, FX4 shifter and knob, FloPro dual exhaust, toolbox, silver topper, Yakima racks, LaSota tune, new stereo, amp, 2 12" Alpine subs, brushguard. Spent too much money LOL

[Backcountryislife]

2012 :Sold the Jeep and bought a truck. then sold the truck and bought a jeep :)


What the? :D

[Fordguy77]

2012 was a mixture of good and bad.

1970 F100: Fired up for the first time in a few years, and she got new tires, and is awaiting her new 390 and body restoration.

1972 Bronco: Sold to a good friend.

1977 F150: New motor, and in process 4spd swap. Pics coming Soon

1979 Bronco: Began the long process of parting it out

1984 4runner: Resealed the 22r, and began fixing suspension issues, as well as did a roll on paint-job.

1984 FJ60: Desmogged, then lost a head gasket. In Process of getting a rebuilt head, and complete new exhaust! No more stopping to pic it up off the trail.

1991 Ranger: Pretty much stripped bare, and going back together rater slowly. Waiting for my Front end to come back from camburg, and waiting on another motor, the first one we built the rings wouldn't wear in.

1998 Dakota: Kateys new rig, now sporting the 31's off the explorer. 5.2L Automatic Tow Package, Sport edition.

2000 Explorer: Transmission Explored and we decided to let her go. RIP @ YouPullNPay

2004 Ford Foci: Put on 45k Miles, One Alternator, And 2 Sets of tires, and had an incident with a badger :frown:

Needless to say i have too many projects, and never enough time.

Plans for 2013

Finally finish up my 1991 ranger, and have it replace my SVT foci as my daily driver like it used to be. However my ranger will now have a few goodies such as, a 4.0L build bored .020 over with a slight bump in compression, Headers with a 2.5" exhaust threw out, a Cam for Top End(more of a daily driver road trip car than offroader) Ported and Polished heads and intakes, bigger injectors, and a 4 way piggyback tuning chip. And then for suspension it has new higher capacity rear springs(1800# each), 1" shackle lift, Superlift Leveling kit, and extended raduis arms, and a Camburg Cut and Turned Dana 35 with manual hub conversion. And i also rebuilt the 5spd while i was at it, and converted to a BW1354m tcase, so no more shift to the fly issues.

On the FJ60 i would like to start my restomod plan on it, beginning with a SOA conversion, and maybe a fresh 2F to hold me off from the V8 conversion i want to do.

For the 4runner, id like to finishing addressing its basic reliability issues, complete my chevy leaf spring and ruf swap.

On the 77 id like to finish my swap, get the truck painted and get back to wheeling.

And many more plans of course, however im buying a house this year, so a lot of things may get put on hold.

No major work there, sawzall cuts Zuk metal easy. Might have to put a couple 2x4 blocks under the hood to raise it a lil' bit so you don't have to cut it too. lol
