New Year's Upgrade/Replacement Resolutions

[Punjab]

I figured since we are so close to 2011 I'd make a bucket list of fixes I hope to tackle on my Explorer during this next year.
Some probably more difficult than others.

-A cracked windshield
-Replace the fuel sending unit
-Passenger side front fender is dented
-Balance and rotate the tires
-Alignment
-Replace burnt out bulbs
-Maybe fix a few rust spots

Nothing major but all things that need to get done.
Please feel free to add a list of all the stuff you'd like to get fixed or changed on your X in 2011. And have a safe and happy new year!
Cheers

Just put a new Duff lift kit on my 94. It's in the shop getting a TK trans (4-1 first gear) and Stubbler now. When thats done it's off for an alignment. Drivers door needs new bushings. Then the 88 BII needs the fuel pumps replaced and fuel gauge repaired. It has a c-5 from a 84 with a T&M doubler and the stock shifter does not have enough range. Hoped to have everything done by the 1st. But that may be the 1st of Feb. Then drive them both and shake um down to get ready for May's U ummm taaahhh trip.
