Since the last update:

Figured out the clutch was frozen. Pried it apart and it is now moveable. It traveled by its self on the road.

Pretty confident the alternator is dying, it needs a cap rotor and wire set, and I get to figure out the electrical madness that comes from a vehicle sitting.

Also, the winch works........ but does not like to disengage, so it looks like I will get to unravel 270 feet of cable again. :/

It may still need a clutch kit, but I will find that out later. I no longer have a 2 ton paperweight and that is what matters.

Also, I picked up some new to me rims that had tires on them already. (235/85r16) Eventually I will upgrade to same size but BFG All terrains.
