Oh, a bit of advice, do not mount a smitty winch feet forward. My previous bumper i had mounted feet forward thinking it would be advantageous, when i took winch apart to grease it i found mud and rust caked in near the designed drains, when mounted feet down it will drain properly.

Front bumper redone, lost 35ish pounds, sunk it back 2 inches and bottom is 2 inches higher. Will be adding shackle mounts to front next weekend.

Have done a few more modifications in the past year. Now it has an 8.8(69 dollars on halfprice day :D )with 4.10 gears and limited slip. Welded on an Artec truss. Used a 1310 yoke ordered from ECGS, was able to use stock rear driveshaft still. Removed abs system after axle swap. Changed...

Great job on the event, look forward to next year. See you on the trails.

I could be up for it, raced my old rig at 2014 koh emc, and helped the naxja team petty cash a few times. Welder, fabricator, and mechanic. Considering starting another build soon for the pnw dirt races.

I have had great experience with smittybuilt winches, had a first gen 8 k on the yj race rig, many hard pulls, including dead engine vertical rock wall pulls at the hammers.

Finally got bumper finished, got a 9.5smitty on an early black Friday for 250 to my door couldn't pass it up. Winch is mounted feet forward, flipped, with the gearbox rotated to access the freespool lever

Curious if hams are common on the trails here and what are the common channels most are on at places like elbe and Evans?

Got a front locker from Lokka, gotta keep this Cherokee cheap lol. Got it installed before the rain hit. Now working on wiring rock lights, hids, air compressor, and ham radio.
