I was thinking its awful tall. And it will be taller as more springs have to go in. The rear packs were a little negative before the top went on.

That looks good. Did you ever get the motor running?

No, I never did, just never had the time to dedicate ro it right yet. Picking away at it an hour here and an hour there just made a mess of it.

I'll tackle it on a day I can take the harness back out and do it right.

The winch mount we got planned will hide that.

Looks good. You guys got that back corner bent pretty fast...t hat took Paul and I a looooong time

Stance looks good with all the body pieces on... very nice.

I missed this comment

I' guessing that Mo and I have a little more weight to put into the bending than you and Paul did at the time

You sound like me when I did mine, I left it as long as possible, then wondered why when I turned the key and it ran. My excuse was that I would want to drive it if it ran, turns out that was the case and I got the other stuff done.

Love to see it at the Jam this year!

Well right now I turn the key and it doesn't run, the ingntion module has to be removed from the system. A new starter circuit has to be run through the ignition switch plus other BS. I had little experience with wiring harnesses. Ill get it someday though.

After fixing up the winch yesterday I decided to work on the winch mount today. As per usual I can't keep anything simple.

Used a cardboard template to get the rough shape. Then transfered it over to metal. Heres the rough Idea.

[image]

It's made from a piece of scrap from John Ross, Its thicker than 3/16" but slightly thinner than 1/4". I'm mounting the winch foot forward which made space tight on front where the fairlead mounts.

Heres the rough Shape.

[image]

Since the Fairlead can't be mounted with a nut and bolt, I decided to drill and tap holes to mount it with. To ensure I have enough thread engagement I doubled up the metal on the front of the mount. And since I can't keep any thing simple.....I broke out the old 'plasma table'.

[image]

Here is the plate mounted to the winch plate. The hex head bolts will be replaced with 3/8" button head allen bolts.

[image]

Setting in place.

[image]

Steering knob side

[image]

Side View, there will be a triangle shaped piece to fill in that square edge. It will have a tab with a couple holes for bolts as well.

[image]

I'm going to bolt the whole assembly to the frame with a series of tabs. 1 long row behind the bumper, a couple up on the steering knob, and a few on the passengers side.
