So it's time to finally try and document this stuff and give you some eye candy every now and then. Here's some pictures of her, currently waiting on my front diff from ECGS, blew a spartan locker, hoping to get it all back together by May.





Need to get some updated pics, currently locked F/R, dirty 30's, ARP studs, duals (2.28x4.7), linex interior, etc.

As it sits now currently, took off the fender flares (aka self clearanced them at Harlan) and painted fo'flares on, gave it some wax, etc.





Still waiting on my front diff back from ECGS so I can try and go wheeling this weekend. Also decided to sell the custom F/R bumpers so I can get a winch bumper for the front and make another custom one for the rear.

Originally had a 3RZ-FE with an R150 transmission to swap into this thing, but deciding to sell that as well.
 
Front diff is going in tomorrow, finally! And will give it a wash and wax. Headed to Harlan, KY last weekend in May. Front bumper is for sale also if anybody is interested!
 
I actually like your front bumper, it's real close to what I'm planning on making when I get around to it. Pics of the mounts and where the reciever tube is braced? How much do want to get for it, shipped to 84044?
 
KidV, the hitch is welded on the front and back and goes all the way through. It has enough on the backside, along with a hole for a receiver pin, to take a winch mounted on a receiver (that's what it's designed for). It mounts with a total of 8 bolts, 4 on each side, you can see two on each side from the pictures above.


Finally got it all back together! Got the top off and everything torqued down, she's good to go!
 
That may come true LOL, i'm headed down to flight school in September and I'll have a bunch of time off the two years I'm there and want to do a Moab trip with you guys, i'll keep it in the back of my head for sure.
 
Got front and rear bumpers coming from addicted offroad, got a Superwinch 9.5K in the mail, and some new high strength enamel to prime and paint the frame with. Also ordered the last set of parts needed to install my CB. ...Cannot wait for Harlan, KY at the end of the month!
 
ajohnson, how's that bumper coming along?

So my addicted front bumper came in with just enough time for me to get it mounted with my new super winch. Painted it with with Rustoleum High Gloss Enamel both primer and paint. Ended up welding on the frame reinforcement plate, no gussets though, and wired in the turn signals. Need to finish wiring the winch to the battery; it comes with a circuit breaker and instructions say wire straight to pos+ terminal of battery but that's kinda ghetto in my opinion so going to get some isolators and quick connects tomorrow before heading to Harlan, KY on Wednesday!

Also put in a trail gear rear bumper before hitting up URE this past weekend and finally adjusted my valves. Did it a couple of months ago and got it right except for one that was WAY off. Topped off the tcase and crawlbox fluid and put lock washers on all my xmember bolts.

















Also put a little custom stack exhaust on my friends Jeep Cherokee. It is traveling to Harlan as well and it was just too loud with just the header, so we had some fun and made it come out the top, much louder inside the cab haha just not on the outside.

 
Forgot to add i mounted up my tube doors as well with the 4xinnovations hinge kit. My body isn't straight because they didn't really line up well, but the BFH made it all work.

And for the winch, didn't need to trim any of the grille, but had to mount the fairlead before the winch with the bolts facing out. Took apart the inside of the control box and made sure all the connections were tight and routed the power and ground wires around the headlights and put them inside some rubber tubing to prevent chafing.
 
Had a great time in KY



Was able to run Railbed and Lions Den successfully before having to leave; always a great time.

Found this from Uwharrie too...
