Welcome.
Very cool project. Any indication of the status of the motor/transmission?

Looks like a good project. It appears that it might have an original PTO winch, cool.

It runs rough, dropped it off at the mechanic to check the carb and plugs. Might need a new fuel tank or possibly just cleaned out as the current gas tank is a 5 gallon bucket. Water pump is leaking as well.....

Sounds pretty normal for a project. Bonus that it runs!

Lift question.... I'm buying new shocks for the Patrol and was wondering if she has a lift or not? How do I tell? ( not seeing any body lift)

It appears that it may have a 'shackle lift', at least in the rear.
