Everybody needs a build thread right? Well here we go. Shopped for a deuce for years. Been a lurker here for a while. Well a while back I pulled the trigger. Here she is when I bought her!

Needed batteries, and was over half full of fuel.(which later turned out to be a lot of motor oil and off-road diesel.) ran great, brakes great, price 3500.00 so home she came.
The absolute first mod was a tractor flapper, then it was to fix the burned out 45* off the turbo. Some new wiper blades and adjusted the electric wiper arms correctly and it was ready for the road!
Then I found some MRAP wheels and tires so I grabbed 6. I made my adapters using my TrucutCNC plasma table.

Sourced a winch off a junkyard for 250!
Got it installed, had to build new top plate and back plate, then painted the front grill and bumper black.
Added some lettering to the bumper too. It's my girls first initials and their birth dates.
Then I mounted my cargo cover..... Inside out at first!
Made a new dash panel to carry my Hewitt pyro and boost gauge for the upcoming FDC bypass and fuel tweaks.
Video of them in action!

Some eye candy
So was installing new tach cable and the wind caught the hood and tried to slam it on my head. I did have the safety hook attached so now I need a new hood latch! Didn't knock my lights out tho! Held in there like a champ.
