Good job on the rebuild. And yes Blackjack is a great resource here on rebuilding winches. You've been busy.
@kiwi. I just read your build thread. Really nice work. The half door renovation was a lot of work. They look awesome. Both winches you did look great too. Lots of attention to detail here. I could do without the mud! 
How did the Miata turned out? and the bike?
Nice fleet of Jeeps. Somebody got the bug!

Thank you, looking back i think i could’ve done without the mud as well, i’m still finding it in the jeep!
Miata turned into a mini rally car for a couple weeks and then sold it off and made a nice profit
Recently replaced it with a 96’ impreza coupe as a new rally car
Bike is still going strong
Although I did get something with a bit more power too
A bit of progress on the long road to 35’s
Rebuilt all the control arms
Installed the savvy BL and MML
And did the JB super short SYE, along with the UCF ultra high clearance tuck
Before
After
No rear driveshaft for now, after the 4” lift i’ll measure for a new one

Also picked up these 35” KM3’s
Current wheels are for a toyota. So i’ll swap them over to the wheels on my 31’s.

Got the 4” lift knocked out this weekend
Pretty simple install, just need to fine tune the control arms once i get my rear DS in
Definitely need to get a front spring spacer
Currently sitting with some old 315/75/16’s, until i swap over the Km3’s

Cleeeeean!
Did you put in your Currectlync as well?
Just needs a Swayloc
Hmm and i know exactly where one is sitting, on an unused LJ
Got the BFG’s swapped in
Only 85$ to dismount 8 tires, remount 4, and balance, other shops were quoting 200$+ since they were 35’s

And some front end cleanup
Got the currie front trackbar, currectlync, and rancho stabilizer installed

You got time to install a lift, but not fix that steering box skid? Come on man, my OCD is killing me.
I’m lucky the tires didn’t fall through the bed of the trailer, it’s got some rust for sure
Who needs a steering box skid when i’ve got 35’s?
This showed up today
A friend got given a 1974 Jeep J10, but he’s not much of a Jeep guy so we got it towed down to my place
It’s been parked under a car port since 1997, after receiving a freshly built 360
Needs some work but i’ve always loved the old J10’s

Now I'm seriously jealous..... I'm a FSJ fan from back when you could still buy one new. I've owned a couple Cherokees and Wagoneer's plus a couple J10 & J20 trucks. Of course wished I'd held onto them at this point.
It looks like it's in really great shape and just needs a little work.
I love the look of the old cherokee’s, probably would have been looking into one of those if this one didn’t fall in my lap
This one is surprisingly very rust free, it was used as a ranger truck back in the day
It has the complete green interior as well
Jeep got broken into last night
They stole some tools, my CB, and my GMRS. Weirdly leaving behind the 20$ cash i had in my glovebox
They also broke off my center console in attempt to remove my CB. And cut those two green wires which i think are for the airbag switch
Counting myself lucky that i still have the Jeep itself
