    Nice looking truck, keep us posted on the other mods to come, like the snorkel. And throw some action shots up, your truck looks like it will have some great ones!

    Default lil guy

    thanks for the compliments guys, I just bought it in November and did all that work outside over the winter in Alaska (no garage yet). When i got it, it barely ran from lack of basic maintenance. Now it hauls a@@

    Sweet truck! How is the brush guard/winch setup mounted? I want to re-do my winch/plow/front receiver mount this summer and I'm looking for inspiration...

    I mounted it to the brackets that hold the control arms, i also found some othe frame mounting points and fabricated brackets to hold from different directions. I would take pictures but i am currently in Afghanistan, it will be a whilee for close ups.

    My 25 inch ATV tires are mounted on Arctic Cat rims, they are 12x6.5, the tires are 25x8 Kenda Bearclaws, the 13 inch rims are from a Datsun 510 and I bored out the centers to fit over the front hubs
