What did they do to that poor firewall? I'd bet his wife was pissed when she discovered two dining room chairs were missing from the table and that winch cable sure could use a fairlead.

I'm guessing that's fiberglassed?? It looks like the cable was either cut or snapped? You've lost me on the chairs part. I missed it the first time, but this has the a vacuum-power-brake setup.

That sure is a strange winch, maybe the belt slips before the cable breaks.

The original front seats on this jeep have been replaced with modified chairs that look like they came from a dining room table set.

Paul ... wow ... not sure how I missed them even after your comment. Is it my eyes? My brain? Not enough coffee in the morning? - Dave

I think those seats are government surplus. I used to have one similar from the Navy. The winch looks like it might be a Braden modified for the electric motor setup.
