And with this being June 1st we are now into the 'Ouray is next month!' territory.
I am trying to decide what last minute work I should have done to it... haha.

Haha yeah I hear ya. In past years I have cut it close. In 2009 it was a big swap from my wagoneer to the cherokee. I got it done in time!
And one year I got derailed by a local shop that didn't complete some work in time.
Same thing happened last year but I made the most of it and brought the better half along. We were sporting a sportrac instead of a FSJ but had a great time.
The Cherokee is ready to roll. I might do an oil change. I am still trying to decide if I will trialer it or drive it...

In exactly 7 days I'll be wheels up. Pretty confident the J10 will be ready but the JK is on standby just in case.
