Ditch track bars? Build anti-wrap bar?

Front track bar ditched (only one bolt left in it. Whoops)
Steering stabilizer tossed . (Shot anyway)
 Silly mirrors for folded down windshield removed.
Passenger side flares and rear fender liner removed.
Check out the bush mechanic winch mount...plus side frame is beautiful and under the dirt the fuel/brake lines look great too!

Oh yeah...and practically EVERY vacuum line and electrical wire has been spliced, plugged or cut. Anyone really really good with that crap? Only want necessary stuff hooked back up.

Sweet power screener material! Surprisingly beefy. Getting replaced with a grille though whether my brother in law wants to or not.

Re-reading this with a heavy heart and tears in my eyes....
My brother in law took his life yesterday  leaving behind my sister and 3 young children.
Sadly I never did a thing with this after a few sketchy test drives around the property and the promise of "lots of work to it soon." He'll never get a chance to wheel with me and I feel awful about that. So I'm going to make a concerted effort to get this rig ready for something of a memorial project. Something my sister can take out with the kids and myself and remember what a crazy project hoarding husband and father they had. Once the weather breaks I'll be pestering you all with ideas for parts and fixes for the hack job I'm going to attempt to resurrect.
Remember to hug the ones you love.
