Quick update.
Stuff...
[
Into the barn...

Made a skid for the fairlead mount...

Made gussets for the top side, notched for the winch drum...

Winch installed...

Old axle pulled out...

Axle I've been building getting ready to go in...

I have a new track bar mount for the axle side, but ran out of cash to buy heims and DOM with Xmas ahead. Going wheeling on the 1st, so it'll have to do for now.

It's still running strong. A guy I wheel with offered me a free 3.4L he built about 10 years back and never did anything with. Lots of goodies on it, so I'm going to grab it next time I see him. I have the Holley Pro-jection and Edlebrock intake manifold set off a parts MJ I bought. So basically I have everything minus the flex plate. Hoping to actually do the swap in time for Winterfest.

Had a set of these flush mounts from Smash Hole waiting for me in the mail today. 18 watts a piece-1400 lumen; (6) 3w CREE emitters. Splitting the set with a buddy and using one as a backup light mounted in the hatch.

Had to test them out so I went out into my backyard...

Hooked it up to my jump pack and...

Can't wait to install it!
