That's cool. I want one. I need one. I must have one!

Did you buy it at auction, or just stumble on it? I'm sort of on the lookout for one.

Today I added the extension to the PTO lever for the front winch in my m52a2 it swivels to go under the seat when not in use I put the extension on the transfer case last year it works great no more reaching to the floor when shirting . also cut the front winch cable in half 90 feet works fine .

Nothing . . . Still waiting, patiently, for my M820 to be made ready. In the meantime planning continues. Have a basic floor plan laid out for the box interior. Have the HVAC and plumbing figured out (I think). Still working on electrical plans (sources and voltages).

Can't decide what to do as far as a paint scheme. Stick with an MV based job, or civilianize it since it'll be my permanent residence. Maybe a multi-level metal flake scheme like a 60's drag car. :shrugs:

topo, I hear-by present you with the award for today's Best Use of a Defunct Craftsman Wrench (or wrenches). Of course you could have taken them back and gotten new ones to bolt and / or weld in place. Looks awesome. I am planning on a broken Snap-on breaker bar for my transfer case extension.
