I like how it wraps around the folding shackles.  Nice touch.

Thanks Bud. It is the only way I know to build a front bumper and it come straight off of the frame with missing links.

Update:

front bumper is done........it is primed and ready for paint. rear bumper is painted and ready to be bolted up & install lights.

Picked up the 1/4" thick aluminum plate. I will be using this to mount the seats.


I got the computer back yesterday from Jim and I tried starting it up, but it wouldn't start. I am going to change out the ignitor after work today. If that doesn't work...........Lord knows what else I can check. We narrowed it down to either the computer or the ignitor...... we will see tonight.

If I get a chance I will have pics tonight of the bumpers.

Update:


Progress:

- 16 valve is running
- all lights installed front / rear bumpers
- winch mounted.... along with winch rope
- side windows (plexi-glass) installed

Left to do:

- install glass windshield

What did you do to get the engine running?

What did you do to get the engine running?

After some time checking / re-checking & untaping the harness. It came down to a ONE wire pulled out of the squeeze on. After the event I will be soldering all NEW connections.

Radiator will be installed tomorrow so I can run it longer and make sure everything works right.

Didn't get the radiator installed, but got the in cab winch control all hooked up.

- momentary toggle (springs back to off position) (up = winch in / down = winch out)

- normal (off / on) toggle.......power to momentary toggle

belts & radiator will be installed tomorrow and I willg et tags Monday

Wow, amazing one wire... & make you go mad to find it... glad to hear it wasn't anything major though. G/l with the rest of the build.

Finally got the tire carrier done !!

Awesome!  Looking good...keep it up!

Thanks man !!

Only thing really left to do is the upper shock mounts. I purchased the shocks to long for the rear and I don't have time to get new ones so I am actually cutting out a small area in the rear fender's to extend the top of the shocks a little. doesn't bother me much cause they are going to end up being this way later on anyhow............when I comp cut the rig.

Got all of the shock mounts done .....worked on them through the rain to get it done.


PICS:

This thing makes me want to chop up the Sammi I have in the backyard. Nice work
