Thanks Howard. Yeah it's come a long way. Been looking for a CUCV brush guard but no luck so far. Def not thinking about a bob. Need the wheelbase for towing. Cheers!
Some more pics. Got a little more done today. Still neeed to install:
Mudflaps, toolboxes, weld up the million holes in the floor from the RV trim, remount the gas filler neck, complete the 3 color camo and I'm sure a few other things.
Had to give it a little work out see if it was worth its...
So I finally am at a point where I can share the project I have been working on. I call it an "Ace and a Half" because its rated for about 3,000 lb weight capacity. Started out as an RV, coach part was completely trashed from 2 years of roof leaking, soooooooooo I picked it up for a song and...
Those are usually not too hard to fish out the loose individual ends and recrimp onto the individual wires. Similiar to wires going into a relay connector. Might be easier to try that first.
I missed it this year. Was down in Asheboro area looking at different properties to relocate to. Love the area, not too far from Denton. The weather was perfect and the scenery was exceptional. Can't wait.

I would be interested to see a picture. I never said it was on the stud, I assumed it was to the wheel. I bet it is VERY small and they are non-structural (weak) welds designed to break easy with any movement.

I have a bunch of left over NOS micellaneous wire harnesses with 6 - 10 wires with color code and numbering. They are from commercial vehicles and never installed. If you want to throw a few bucks for shipping them, it might make it easier to extend as they will be different colors. Let me know.
I pull a 1900 lb car trailer with a 3500 pound car on it with my 1009 with no issues at all. No problem getting the same top speed (just not up hills!)
