So I decided to put up a thread of my new project. Here's a few "before" pics.

I have been working on it a lot lately in the evenings. The first thing I did was rewire all the accessories and add my MSD box.



Since this will be an offroad toy I gave up on the climate controls especially since there was an electrical issue with them so I removed them and put my switch block in their place.





I also decided to remove the a/c compressor in order to be able to mount my batteries and remove the parasitic loss. I also removed the fan sinceI am using 2 electric fans.

I had a bunch of spare steel so I built a front bumper out of 2.5"x.250 angle iron to weld one up.







In preparation for building a long arm front suspension and a cage I am adding a 3"x.250 angle to the frame rail to reinforce it.

There were too many lights on top before so I redid the bar, and cut back to 4 lights.

I know that I take a lot of pictures when I take them. I guess that it is because I don't take them during all the work. I am gonna try to keep the camera in the shop so I can get more during pics.

Thought about it, but since it gets stored outside I take it and the face off the radio and store them in the shop so I like the easy removal.
