Making some progress this week.

-Finished the tie rod ends, and trimmed the fenders for full lock at full stuff. 40° steering. Will still need to be some trimming at full articulation.

-shop was so trashed I couldn't even think. So spent about 4 hours into the wee hours this morning getting back to clean and organized. Took a few pics of the truck down and rolling...needed the motivation.

-today I took a break from tube work to mix it up with some plate...which I enjoy. Got started on the winch mount. Will try to have the winch and bumper finished thru tomorrow. Then get back to finish the tubing.

I like the "1st to Rev" gate, with the big stop being on the right side of the plate. If you're slammin' for reverse, you are naturally 'pushin' on the shifter!

Might even modify one like this so you can push from 2nd as well!

...of course what do I know. I'm running a 465 and they don't shift, period!:shaking:
 
When I only have limited shop time I try to complete small tasks to feel like I accomplished something.

Finished the d-ring tow points on the front bumper. They also serve as bumper attachment. There will be two more bumper supports near the center as well as secondary tubes out at the ends.

Afraid not, real life has gotten in the way and taken too much of my shop time of recent. But I'll be winter wheeling ready...and just maybe a February trip.

Thanks buddy.

My schedule is freeing up in the next few weeks to allow more shop time.

I did get some interior tube started and got the seats rejoined lower for more headroom with a helmet on. No pics of that progress yet, not sure I'm satisfied with the outcome.

Lots of parts are here, (new and used) Big fat thank you to @ol'Jeeps and Metalwerx for all the fair pricing and fast service. [emoji106] and also all my DOM tubing needs!
