Had my sploder a few months now. I gave $400 for it. Trans was shot. Here are some pics and more info up to now.

When I first got it.


Pump was shot in the trans



5 Speed swap and cb radio, cd player installed



Shots of interior



Borrowed a old set of wheels and tires from my buddy


Built a storage box deal for the back




Farm jack mounted


Trailer hitch receiver


3.73 LS rear and did a lincoln locker in the front


Tow Hooks and cut up the already mangled bumper




F-150 coil spacers and made some shackles



Fresh spray bomb job


4.6 MAF and new filter


OHC


Power inverter


Bought some 31-11.50 LTB's and Soft 8's



Jeep manual hubs


Air compressor, horn, tank.




Manual t-case


New CD player to control my ipod and found some speakers at the junkyard



And that brings us to today. Picked up a winch at 4 Wheel Parts. Going to try to get it installed tomorrow.

Looks like a good deal for 400 bucks...even with a dead trans! It must be in good shape still since you are putting money into it! Good job man

Got the winch mounted. Used a universal winch plate for now. When I go to make a Bumper for it I will probably just go off of it. I mounted the control box behind the grill.




Control box.


Side profile shot.


Also got one of the Chevy service lights. The one with the wind up cord that will reach all the way around the back.

They come on late 80's early 90's fullsize trucks. I have seen them on Suburbans and the trucks. Usually mounted on the passenger inner fender.

Nice build I have my cb in the same place fits nice and snug.

Heres my bumper on my truck to give you an idea for adding to yours, you should have mounted your winch lower and between the frame that way ya didnt have to cut up the grill that much.
