I can't remember if you're planning on adding a roll cage for this build, but if you do, you won't be able to re-install it like that unless you are just adding a standard rear bar.

I see you're missing a trim piece for the front fender; do you need one? I'm pretty sure I have an extra.

Hi Darrin,

Good point about the roll cage. Yes I am planning on a family roll cage. The one I won down at the Northwest Bronco Rally last year. No problem though I'll just have to make some brackets to lift it. It probably won't come off though as I will have AC and it gets Hot here in the summer.

I'll check on the trim piece I might already have it. I'll let you know.

Thanks.

Gerry, I did drive it with the auto, it works really nice. The controller is pretty cool, you can program it with a laptop for shift points and whether or not you want the torque converter locked up or not.

Tim, Maria bought me a set of forks for my birthday last year!


Maria is sooooo awesome!
I like the shovel holders.

Hi Darrin, I got it all tore apart today but forgot to take any photos. I have the trim piece for the front finder. I'll take a few more photos in the morning.
