Altenator, starter, pinion seals, front bumper mounts, front grill. Need to add belt mount bars to the cage and install 5 points with seats, stock seatbelts keep getting pinched between the body and cage. Will know more when I get it off the trailer. Time for a full maintenence teardown.

So i was just out working on the front of my truck, when i notice and wonder, why the front of my winch is leaning down instead of level.   Looks like I have the same problem.  Thumbs Up

guess i need to pull the body off and beef it up after fixing the tabs.   hahaha
