First on the list was to degrease and pressure wash the years of neglect off the old girl

Removed all the chains, sprockets and axle shafts.....then lifted the frame out of the tud.....and more pressure washing....

Looks like a good project that will pay off. Where and how was the frame broken?Everybody dies, but not everybody lives.Comment

The chain tensioner support was welded to the floor pan and not the frame....it looks like it has been broken for years.... I fixed all of them with a much heavier weld.
Spent the next couple days cleaning and painting. Made a huge list of parts needed to bring her back to life...Comment

Also picked up a pair of Bolduc 20" wide rubber tracks with wheel spacers and heavy duty tensioner blocks

Most of the parts came in today so I started assembling the drivetrain

New rotors, chains and jackshafts were also on the list.....this thing was in bad shape

Very inspirational, looks awesome. This makes me want to dig my "fixer-upper" out of the 4ft of snow it's in, and start rebuilding.

Dropped the frame back into the tub and began running wires for the two 4500lb winches and all the offroad lighting

Couldn't wait to get those 20" tracks on so I installed the axles and mounted the wheels and tracks
