Finally got it back on the road, still lots of odds and ends, but at least there's light at the end of the tunnel!

New steering is in and works great!

I finished up my basic front winch bumper today. Basically, it's just a box mounted on the front. There are so many winch bumper threads on here, I just couldn't bring myself to make a build thread on it. I got the drawings of the extended frame mounts off of here and used 3/16' plate, 2" angle iron and grade 8 bolts and bolted it all together. My welding skills suck and this way, as I work on building the rest of it, I can change it to suit my tastes as I go because it's bolted and not welded. I'll post photos when I finally get it all finished and then, if anyone is interested, I'll post how it was done.

Moved my speaker to the brush guard for the siren unit. Also, made a fuse box outta a fuse holder from napa and a project box from napa. Almost done, just have to add some more coil for tomorrow and I'm set.

**Edit**
I lied. Just added the look. Much better.

Use dielectric grease in the plugs, and use a dab of RTV to keep them from sliding apart. I lost my headlights in the mountains one day because the connector had slid apart and corroded.

Seafoam
Valve cover gasket

And some other misc. Stuff to do all of the above. Of course I went with all the Fel Pro permatex gaskets.

Plan for tomorrow is have all of that done in one day. If I have time iv got a new set of LCA to put in also.

Got home from my trip to find my drives rear tire flat with another stupid screw in it!! So I drove the comanche and also had to deal with a low tire. Passenger front likes to leak. Was debeaded when I bought the truck. Tires have 80 percent tread but are cracked to hell. Thinking about getting some MTs when I can afford it and swap my ATs to the manche and use the factory xj rims I have in the back after I get them cleaned up or powdered.
