Here's everything bead blasted and degreased. Everything was gross. I'm pretty sure the horrible smell was the burnt varnish from the windings.

Some pics of the progress. I have 2 threads right now on this winch rebuild but I figure my actual build thread needed them too.















I threaded the aluminum rods but I need to get some shorter bolts. I'm going to ACE to get some 5/16-18 socket head cap screws.

A few more updates.

The weather this week has been amazing and I wanted to get a few things done to my jeep before it gets too cold. I recently acquired a new (to me) cross member from a '95 YJ that was in great shape for free from a buddy who did a tummy tuck. I figured why I was swapping it I might as well put a new transmission mount. I also need a new stabilizer stud and bushings as my home made one has seen better days. I got a poly transmission mount and I'm going to order the stabilizer bushings and stud today.

Can you tell which cross member was mine?



Notice the deformity in my old one.




I was glad I went ahead and got a mount. It looks like I needed it. This is the one from 1993.





My stabilizer bushings.



Mount installed. Pardon the exhaust. It will be getting replaced in the next month or two.
