I bought her, back in 2015. After a few very bad life decisions, I had to do something to keep myself sane. So Bought her as you see in this pic.

I drove it daily, she marked her territory, by leaving a 6 inch puddle of 10W40 everywhere I parked for.more than 15 minutes. And, above 6000 rpm, she try her best to kill all the mosquitoes in the vicinity.
Then, one day, driving to work, the transfer case fell off. Which led to a transfer case rebuild with a used input gear, as the original was toast

Then these magically appeared 
The D60F, I bought, just as prices on these started going apeshit. I got it $1000.
Keith Blazer (@kgblazerfive) sold me the newer model 14 bolt for $100.
14 bolt has 4:10
D60F has 3:54
I'll be changing those to 5:38's

Where? I didn't see it?
That's Jenkins! You're the only one to notice him
then , I picked up this used 12000 lb Apex winch, $250.Score!
These are the only pics I got of this parts of the build. I swapped in the tons, another set 52 " springs for the front, B52 shackle flip, dropped the saddle tanks.
I bought the Slotted dish mags, with the 35" swampers from Eric(blazinzuk). Had to do a bunch of shuckin' & Jivin' to get the 3/4 ton lug bolts into those axles. A bunch of dough for those rotten 9/16x18 chome acorn lugnuts.
Then I found this crack in the frame. I didn't document much about the repair. It was bad, the crack went through over 3/4 of the frame top to bottom, right there, bottom to top
This is the frame mounts for the Engine mounts, with freshly wire-wheeled bolts
Getting the gear reduction side of the 203, for the doubler.
Got me a nice Northwestfab doubler. Paid $100 for the 203/400 adapter. Ground my own 205 shift rails.If you look at the lower part of this pic, you can see a hint of my 8.1's EGR mount

More goodies...
The DIY4X ABOMB, all mounted up. Kert and crew, you guys ROCK!
Went with the solid motor mounts, then dropped in the 8.1Litre
Pulled up the carpet, not good.
A little peak of the new flexplate, new "stock" torque converter, and a view from behind the 205, looking at the 203/205/400/496 all bolted in!
Ended up having to swap a head due to a crack. So I did headgaskets, new stock cam, cloyes timing chain kit.
