Thank you Ramblin Wreck:D And here's an early Christmas gift that I just received from Kells Hogan!

the old and the new...

Thank you very much8) Decals on and LED searchlights installed. Also you can see the use of stainless steel for the hinge pins and misc hardware.

Getting the finishing touches completed...waiting on decals then cleaning it up

Here's the new hardwired LED remote controlled searchlights we're installing. The green brackets are custom made and will allow us to mount the devices to existing points in the armor which already has threaded weldments permanently located.

Thank you. The vision blocks are made to order in Florida by Vision Blocks Incorporated…lead time is about 4 months and I spent about $6-7k each of the last two times I ordered...but I ordered "several":razz: True, but I have another one here just like it…or at least what it was like when it...

Brought the beast outside for a breath of fresh air :-P

New starter and batteries...

Thanks for the input guys 8) The folks making the decisions on this unit wants the wiring to be pretty much the way it was when the OEM sent it out. It will have some upgraded lighting features, but that will be a 12v circuit through a different switch setup.

New glass ready to be installed and a starter ready for the scrap pile...

The transfer case has been repaired and reinstalled, now on to other problems... The wiring harness has been cut in several places, and the connector for the light switch assembly was cut off as well. Picking up a new switch assembly and connector was easy, but it's a bit of a task to make...

Polyurethane spray-in bedliner on the inside

Epoxy on, now waiting on powder coating and some gun parts for the spray-in bedliner machine

With most of the detailed prep work behind us we're just about ready for the epoxy primer to go on. All the doors and a ton of misc parts were sent out for stripping and powder coat with zinc rich primer.

Here's an example of what we're finding on this rig, which is not really that bad considering it's age and the service it's seen. We cut the bad part off, ground the hull to clean metal then welded a new part made from stainless steel. Rust, twisted and broken parts along with stuck bolts are...
