Yeah, I was anxious and excited to get this all back together, it's fully functional now and needs nothing else. Although I do need work on the dash lights and there is no radio yet.
I worked with a buddy to fabricate the winch mount, bull bar, and rock rails. He is a metal fabricator for a living, and the welding instructor at a local Community college. So the work was "fit in" to the rest of his busy schedule. The time to complete this is not gonna be remembered as long as the function and appearance of the results! I still have to connect the wires for the warn winch/compressor unit. I also have not chosen the lights yet, There are tabs already in place for a pair of lights on the bull bar.
The Rock rails are frame mounted and I can jack the cruiser up anyplace along the entire length of them, These are not cosmetic "steps"!
This may have been posted in another thread, but just so you can see this 35 year old beast is nearly new now after 10 months of effort. I should take some pictures of the inside as well. Everything has been reupholstered, all 4 seats, door panels, dash, headliner, visors, Center console, I do need some fitted rubber floor mats, that has been the hardest thing to find oddly enough!
