I'm at three and a half years... :LOL:

I understand what you're saying. I spent an hour yesterday at the truck going through old lists, making new a list. Then walked around the truck finding more to add to the list of things to get done. I ended up with almost a page of things to do... :ROFLMAO:.

There is only one kit from Engineered Vintage for our trucks. Interestingly enough if you look at the Winch Dimension from Sherpa for the Colt 12k and Steed 17k with the 28m spool they are the same dimensions. But, the Steed with the 45m spool in definitely bigger like the Stallion 25k. Because...

I did not order the 500 amp fuse/ holder from them. I'm using a Blue Sea Systems terminal with a 250a fuse. With the 24v application the winch is supposed to pull a max of 225a so I feel the 500 is a little overkill. They fit the bussbar nicely...

No problem! My only issue with Sherpa was they notified me 5 days after ordering of the back order on the winch. Then it was the 2 weeks, any day emails, which is becoming the norm these days.

Sharecropper, I ordered directly from Sherpa 4x4 and actually I'm not sure where else to get one. I ordered the Sherpa Steed 17K 24v with 92' rope ($1049) and extended battery cables ($99). The 148' version changes the winch body and it will not fit in the winch plate from Engineered Vintage ...

Some install pics.... four rivets and reinforcement plate removed, rivet holes enlarged and two new holes drilled. Some other trimming depending on winch installed.

Wrestled everything back together! Certainly happy to use new hardware for the bumper, much easier to get started. Added anti-seize on all the threads. Hooked up 24v from the buss bars, and it’s running! 👍 The @factor55 XXL looks beefy on there till you step back. 🎄🌲🎄🇺🇸🇺🇸🥓🥓🥃🥃 #m1010 #cucv

I ordered the extended battery cables (10') when I ordered the winch so my wiring for the slave is still intact.

Some grinding, some drilling, and some cutting. Continuing to make progress! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🥓🥓🥃🥃 #m1010 #cucv

Found a little massaging was needed for clearance. While the Sherpa Steed 17K winch does fit between the frame rails, when centered the motor needs some more room for clearance. Admittedly the motor on mine looks different than pictured on their web site. Also got the control box mounted and...

Thanks! Hayden 2799 fan clutch and Derale 17120 fan Info was take from here... How to keep her cool?

:ROFLMAO: I'll trade for a P400....

Air hammered the rivet heads off for reinforcing plates for the CUCV shackle mounts. Test fitting, drilling out the rivet holes and installing new hardware where the side plate ties into the frame. Then a quick test fit of the winch plate. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🥓🥓🥃🥃 #m1010 #cucv

I’ve been waiting for a while for a shipment from Australia, ordered 10/5. It finally showed up! A Sherpa 4x4 @4x4sherpa Steed 24v 17k winch with a synthetic line. I also picked up a @factor55 XXL shackle. All this will be mounted with a @engineered_vintage winch mount which ties into the CUCV...

Depending on your batteries and solar (if you have it) you can get a DC heating element ( 12v,24v, 48v ) to replace the the 115v ...

I gutted the DUVAC wiring and cleaned things up...

A good time was had with 5 local bands supporting a local farm...
