before and after side

I'm glad you asked, because I'm curious how he did it.

you get one guess who the truck on the left belongs to...

edit: double post :oops:

before and after:

note the two holes that are midway up the face of the bumper just outside the lift rings... Does anyone know what they are for? they appear to be punched. BTW I went ahead and reused the 12 sholdered bolts that go into the winch. If anyone happens to have a short one(passenger side) they would...

weekend III Today I got the winch in & cut the bolts that were a little long. I pulled the drum lock out and got it functional again(was frozen). as much as I liked the school bus yellow I decided it was time for it to go.

did you happen to replace the output seal on the tranny and/or input seal on the tranfer?

most of the bolts are ok, but the two lower ones (don't remember if they were from the long or short side) on one side have damaged heads.

the only parts from the 185 are the lift ring mounts (the ones on top). Any one know where I can get the bolts that actually go into the winch? Edit: I also used the handles that go into the frame from the M185A3

I wouldn't be suprised if I end up loosening/retightening when the winch goes in aua . I did get longer hardware for the lift ring mounts. As a mater of fact the two thin bolts will need to be cut in order to get a shackle pin in them, but that will wat until last. the new hardware was spendy...

weekend II Coated the peices w/ oshpo during the week then primed w/ rustoleum. removed the recipient trucks bumper and cleaned up the ends of the frame rails, again primed w/ rustoleum. Then I started putting it all together w/ new grade 8 hardware ( :shock: there are over 40 bolts). I...

Thought I would document adding a winch to my truck. I pulled the winch, brackets, bumper and PTO shaft as a unit. Then I seperated and sandblasted the peices (I only presure washed the winch housing). End of weekend 1

now that is scary... You can do things three ways. The right way, the wrong way, or my way; which is a lot llike the wrong way, only faster. -not mine, but it fits

hey... you can now answer (yet another) question for me.. How close do the tires get to rubbing on anything up front on those "normal" rims?

RE: So, anyone need some 6LT . :nothingfunny:

Truck is safely at it's new home. Thanks again Ron! I'll return the bar/rigging tomorrow

Bjorn, if you want a batt/gen gauge from a deuce I've got one you are more than welcome to.

how much lift you got on the burb? the 105's lunette would be seriously low if you are anywhere near stock. If you happen to be running tires in the neighborhood of 37" this would be a good solution. http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=436710&highlight=lathe+center+plasma+rockwell

bjorn, are you putting together a veggie fleet there?
