Builds TiredIron's TLC build up (1 Viewer)

I picked up this 91' last Saturday and started doing a few mods to it yesterday...here's a link to a "Mods" page for the TLC.
Pirate Build Thread

I have a set of Volvo portal axles coming to go under it, I will post when I update the mods page.

Man - cool idea on the storage box!

Your rig reminds me of my old 91.

Gotta see the portal install!

Tired Iron,

I know the guy you bought your cruiser from. He used to be my neighbor but moved away...Todd, right?

He's a really cool guy, actually bought my old 72 a long time ago.

I too, would love to see the portals under that thing.
Very nice.

your rear seat box idea was way cool
one question though, whats in the area for the radio, is that why you put the cb on the rear of the center consol?

It's a double din Pioneer system.

I got my ARB winch bumper today but there wasn'r any installation instructions with it, does anyone one have them. I have the bumper installed but there's several small brackets that I have no idea what they are for.

Congrats on the purchase and cool mods so far! I'm pretty sure I still have the instructions on my recent ARB bar install. You should have the license plate mount and the winch box mount? And the two tabs that go between the stock tow hooks and bumper. I think that was it...

 

[TiredIronGRB]

Thanks, looking at them now that makes perfect sense.

Got the ARB and MileMarker winch on...

Nice LC and good job on the mods.

Here's some new pictures and info on mods including mounting the MileMarker on the ARB.

I am interested in a mile marker also (good prices).

All you did was mount it upside down... Did you have to drill any new holes? Is there possibly any harm from mounting the winch the way you did?

 

[TiredIronGRB]

I had to drill two holes in the fairlead, and one in the bottom of the controller box. It shouldn't hurt anything.

Got the front axle in with the steering all hooked up and all the brackets on the rear one, now to get my yokes mated up and brake lines made up. Off to the machine shop in the morning for flange adapters.

muy macho!

What size meats are those? Looks great, volvo portals are super cool. Just throw a toyota turbo diesel in that thing, and it's my dream rig...

I heart the black rims, too.

cool,

seth

The link at the top of the thread has some, I'll go through my other pics and see if there's any more good ones.
