Modified exhaust brackets on my mod
Welded on a couple tie points for load carrying

Still on drawing board
spare tire carrier
Modify front bumper for winch
Modify front bumper by extending it forward with a flat surface

In prototype
is relocating a new table mount system
Battery rack for aux batteries (plural)


Just a few of the ideas on my drawing board at the moment.

Not on the westy but for the westy--shortened my heavy duty metal cargo
wagon that I use for salvage yard trips from 53 inches to 44 inches to fit
in the westy easier and added a couple fastening points for my tool box that
I haul in with me.  I hate making trips back out for tools that I didn¹t
carry in.

I have a mig and torch.  I prefer my torch for most jobs and primarily only
use the mig for upside down stuff or where a torch would be a major hazard.
