Here is what it looked like before
And I'm really happy with...
Next up, I wanted to address the tranny and transfer case. The tranny needed a rebuild, it had a slow leak and I wanted to replace the Lokar shifter with a Winter's shifter. I also figured I would have a reverse manual valve body installed while it was apart.
