New winch mount is finished, still waiting on the winch rope, it turned out pretty good, I think

they dont need a brake, which is cool because of the worm gear.

I installed the new winch rope, I kinda wish I had went the 3/8 rope instead of the 1/2, I could only fit 65’ of rope on it

So I ordered a wheelbase stretch rear bumper from Motobilt, it will shift my rear axle 6”, so I will have a 100” wheelbase when done, I still need to get some stock xj springs and the comp cut body armor

I have some aluminum comp cut corners if your interested. Will take $250 for them and the hardware.

Hell yeah, It will be a couple weeks before I will have time to drive up there, I could always PayPal you if you want, then we can meet up whenever

Just let me know when you’re ready. I’m in no real hurry. Was hoarding all my left over parts until the Jeep is finished before I started listing anything for sale.

This esab welder does make pretty welds

The bumper is done

 

[jeepman1979]

Sorry, It’s been a while sense I updated this thread, the 4.3 that is in it barely finished the MCJ Christmas ride @ Uwharrie. It started smoking worse and the rods were banging like a midget with a sledgehammer. I picked a new engine for my M37, so I decided to use the 305 that was in it for cj. The 305 was way under power for the M37, but should be just fine in much lighter cj.

 

[jeepman1979]

Got the exhaust done also, 2 1/4” with Jones mufflers

What ESAB do you have? I've been researching the "smart" welders and that and the Lincoln is on the short dream list.

I've been looking into the Rebel and the Lincoln smart mig's for when I can upgrade. How do you like it? I've heard good things about the unit but bad things about customer service from ESAB.
