Project: "Not going to do a frame off" Frame Off (3 Viewers)

[SFROMAN]

was just looking at your tire carrier thread. You do some amazing work. Have a question for you.
What size rear bench did you order and how is it installed?

Can you post up pics. I want to get an idea of what kind of room there will be back there.

Thanks

I'll get some pics of it installed. I used the mounts that came w/ it and welded them to a piece of 1.5" flat bar and created a small, flat frame that fit between my grooves in my floor. I tied it in w/ grade 8 bolts and reinforced it from the underside. I'm not sure of the size, I'll have to look.

And to update my thread w/ some current pictures:

SEXY!


Where'd you get the resto parts for the winch? Direct from Warn?


I got one of these that needs the same treatment.


Rig looks awesome man. Congrats.

Thanks Ed. I bought the parts from:
Dealers Truck Equipment
Little Rock, AR
501-568-9000

I called several different Warn authorized replacement parts dealers and they beat everyone's price by quite a bit. They were also very helpful to deal with and I'd highly recommmend them. I bought the new motor from dbelectrical and am happy with it. I know at least 1 other person on mud that has used this motor and has no issues.

wow!!! 8274 looks so nice!!

Thanks a bunch. I need to start working on my hardtop now.

Thanks for the comments! I did find out thru Warn via the date code on the upper housing that this is a 1976 unit. Not bad for 34 years old!

A little update:

I got the 8274 sitting on the rig now attached to my custom bumper. I put 100' of 3/8 Amsteel Blue winchline w/ a Viking Offroad Safety Thimble on the end. I also used a Viking Offroad Hause fairlead for my synthetic winchline.

I added a little "customization" to my rear swing out. I had made my tire carrier with a reciever in the middle of it so I could add what ever I thought would be useful. This is the first of my "plug and play" attachments!
