73 Wagoneer Build The Falcon

So, everyone else has a build thread... I thought I would do one too.
I got my Wag several years ago and drove it for a while until the tranny started puking red stuff all over the driveway.
I figured while it was down I may as well make a few changes to her.
That was 6 years ago
I bought a bunch of parts and then lost my job and then went into the hospital to make matters worse.... long story... but now I am able again to work on her and I am picking up where I left off.
Things done 6 years ago:
6 inch BJ's Spring lift.
3 inch body lift.
New manifold Edelbrock porcelain coated.
New shorty headers Edelbrock porcelain coated.
New Edelbrock 650 carb
New Rancho 9000 shocks
New seats
new poly tank (still working on that one)
New electric fuel pump.

Here is what she looked like before I went into the hospital.

.... and I think I will start the thread updates from here.

I am going to have to pull the tranny back out this week because of a stripped torque converter bolt (I will see if I can get a new converter tomorrow).
Today I think I will see if I can change out my pitman arm to the dropped one that came with my kit 6 years ago.
Then I will see about changing out my steering damper (also bought 6 years ago)
and maybe work on my front bumper and winch combo (bought the winch 2 weeks ago )
