Nearly finished with my CUCV

[colelkhunter]

Been a while since I have posted anything so I thought I would post some pics of my latest project nearing completion. It is in the trial phases now to fix anything that doesn't work right. All in all I am happy with the truck. Turning radius is short but workable. It seems to go anywhere I point it and laugh at me for trying to hurt it. I will post a list of upgrades for you gents below. Today I was out playing in the snow and thought you all might enjoy a pic.

I would brace the frame around the steering box.

I will do that when I put in the crossover steering. I have to replace the steering box at that time anyway for a 2wd box. Just gotta let the weather get a little better before I can tear it apart.
