143k miles
'76 196-4cyl (yes, half of a motor) w/ 123k miles
'76 Dana 44s f/r, 4.09 gears, fresh Tracklok in the rear, Lockright up front.
'76 Close Ratio T19 4spd
4" Skyjacker Softride suspension lift - netted 4" up front, 2" in the rear
2" longer shackles in rear, Back Country Binders, brought the rear up to 3.5" of lift

BesTop soft-top, Giddum Up Scout Repro Rollbar, on-board air compressor, AM/FM/Cass/CD, CB-Radio, loads of tools & spare parts, under-hood mounted shovel, Smittybilt Bumper Thumper modified to accept 2 100w KC Daylighters (though the pencil beam lights are rarely used).

33x12.50" Cooper Discoverer STTs on 15x8" Chrome Modulars. A good bit of trimming on the rear wheel wells helped with clearance, along with some cut and bend on the front lip of the front fender. Still needs longer bump stops in the rear and ideally a 1" body lift to really clear the 33s.

What's under way? Smittybilt front 'cage kit (SC88), Bronco gears for my spare Dana 20 & twin-stick, 3-pt seat belts up front.
