HAHA! no I have been working on getting it mechanically sound first. Just got done putting the header and new injectors on it and just got it running today, It has been down not running for about 2 months now. Still got some more stuff to do to the engine before I can work on suspension, breaks ect.

First weekend down at the beach with the bumpers and I had to put that rough country 9500lb winch in use for my buddy with a CJ7 on 34 inch super swampers.

The winch worked great!

I do know though that a upgraded alternator is coming soon, the truck would drop to about 8 volts under a load with the winch and the engine reved.
