Made a little progress today. Mounted the winch and bumper.

Welded in the mounting hole for the track bar, reamed it back out to 3/4" and welded some 1/4" thick heavy washers on for extra support. Misalignment spacers should be in this week and then that will be done.

Cut off the stripped out forward crossmember mounts. Made some new ones out of 1" x 3/4" on the s.side and 2" x 1" on the c.side. Drilled and tapped them to 3/8"-16, boy do I hate tapping holes in this thick shit!

And finished off the day by welding in the new mounts.

And I still didn't even come close to finishing the crossmember :doh:. I'm on mandatory OT this week too, so hopefully I can find some time to work on it. The axles for my trailer should be in later in the week or early next week so I really want to finish it up soon.
I'm dying to get this thing in the woods. There's a short rock climb named "Sheetmetal" that I've tried to do a few times with my last truck but never made it past half way up. That will be the test for me. Cant wait!
