Nice work.

Small update. I fabbed up a winch mount that uses the stock CUCV bumper and shackle mounts:

Very clean work, I like what you’re doing.

Small bit of progress this afternoon. Got extended bump stops in the front. And have mods for the rear end!

Hopefully I lowered the stops enough. I may have to swap to a lower profile engine cross member because of the crossover steering. I need to flex it out and see how close it gets.

Nice work. Love that style truck.

Update, the truck completed Pott's Mountain Jeep trail including the 4 hour drive there and back. Had to winch 2 times. Winch and mount performed flawlessly. Sustained minor body damage on the driver bed side and passenger lower front fender when it dropped down on a rock. On to some pics:

I'm trying to get some videos that some people took of the outing. Edit:

Custom tucked exhaust.

Nice clean exhaust work. I’d probably wrap the pipe under the oil pan though. Don’t need any extra heat radiating into the engine oil.

I'll probably put some heat reflective tape on the pan instead so I don't rust out that pipe too fast.
