I painted the undercarriage black and the torsion & torque bars red.

Modifications in progress:

Fabricating new bumpers out of 4"x8" .25" walled rectangle stock. New bumpers will have integrated tow hooks, D-rings and 2” receivers in effort to move receiver-mounted winch higher and increase approach/ departure angles.

Currently in planning/design stage of Dynatrac Pro Rock 60 axle upgrades.

Planned modifications:

I want to build a Rock Climber out of it. I have a freshly rebuilt 3.9 V6 for it on the engine stand. I'm planning on an A518 tranny, KluneV Goliath underdrive, Atlas II transfer case and Dynatrac Pro Rock 60 (custom high pinion Dana 60) axles with ARB air lockers and 513 gears. Custom Suspension, 4 wheel disk brakes and whatever else tickles my fancy.

If money were no object:
