Great to see that your getting real use out of your Deuce! Your winch may come in very handy in the woods. I like your equipment plate on the back too.Haven't really had the time to sit down and update, but as soon as I finished replacing the front brake lines in the middle of last month:
I modified my tool rack to fit a mid-sized chainsaw. Basically just cut the brackets out of the center of it so I could fit an appropriately sized piece of OSB in the bottom of it. I then drilled holes further down the sides so I could mount it flat. (Didn't take pics due to the simplicity of the project.)
I also removed the bent rear fenders so I could hammer them flat.
Once those two minor things were done, I did a complete fluid check and greased EVERYTHING.
We've been out in the woods doing firewood shenanigans every other weekend since. Happy to report that the locker functions flawlessly. Locks in when you engage the transfer case and unlocks shortly after disengaging the case. The only thing that some folks might not enjoy is the loud groan that the locker makes when its unlocked in a turn. It only does it when turning left (in my case at least.) The off-road shop I bought it from told me that it was going to be loud, and not to be concerned when I drove it the first time. Unfortunately the main roads got salted a few days ago so my plans of driving the truck to their shop so they could hear it will have to be delayed for now.
There is plenty of wood to stack in the meantime at least.
(My shop is a cluster right now, I know. It's annoying but temporary.)
I'm envious of the size of your shop. My garage is nowhere near big enough for my Brutus. I hear what you say about the "Truck Destroyer, Granular" they put on the roads. It tore my truck up over the last few years. I will avoid driving him after they put down Truck Destroyer and cinders this year.
