Another stop at my buddies welding shop and 105 bucks later I have all the steel I need to make the drop/extension brackets for the swingarm, build engine cradle and fab a winch mount. After looking at the pictures online for several hours I decided why buy if I can build? Although that all sports unit looks beefy and would take so much less time than building it....
I have the front buttoned up except the steering drop bracket for the steering linkage. It looks alright with those big blue shocks, can't wait to get the winch mounted. Pics to come, it's raining and ugly today. I made my blocks with a decent angle on one end I should have split the difference between both ends because it made it a real bear to get two of the bolts in and now I have paint to fix. Thankfully it's just plain gloss black Rust-Oleum and in an area that's gonna see touch ups from trail use, or off trail I guess, anyway.
I hope the 45 inch belt I bought is right for 23hp vanguard I couldn't really find any solid answers on which belt to use. But I guess since I'm fabbing it all it will work one way or another I'm just concerned with oil filter to rear end clearance.
