New updates. After pulling the transmission out to replaced the freeze plugs in the rear of the engine. I built drivelines and drove the cruiser around my neighborhood and noticed the clutch was slipping real bad. Found that we used to thick of a throwout bearing and it was not letting the clutch engage all the way.

1 step forward 2 steps back. Pulled the transmission again and installed the correct throwout bearing. Drove it and the clutch worked great.

Finally some forward progress was made this weekend. Installed metal tech rear bumper with tire carrier and cooler rack. Also had a buddy of ours in the truck toolbox business build a huge aluminum drawer for the cargo area.

Also got the warn 8274 mounted with synthetic rope and a single row LED light bar.

All that's left now is to tidy up some loose ends in the wiring, bolt in cage seats, windshield and hood. The end is very near.
