true i dont like that the winch is inside the arb, you have to be carfull of it bunching, also it does block the head lights some, the d ring mounts are not very thick and i had to grind alot on the d rings or they would bind , they still sit angled in the holes,also its heavy
Interesting to hear your complaints with the ARB bull bar, guess it's not worth the $950 it costs, lol. I'll go with a Nates 4x4 or JCR when I get a nice bumper for my Jeep.
the smitty winch bumper with stinger is nice ,friend has one, the finish is holding up well, but rusting around the bolts outward
stinger could save ya, if ya find a steep ditch
photos are at brewers theres a steep ditch here, and the rear pops up about 2.5 feet, only tried it once it does scrap the front bumper , had to winch up half way up the other side
there was 3 subaru,s there they went up both ways and the other hills also that i can only go half up then make a cloud of dust
here some other pics of brewers
was thinking i could sand my front axle shaft ears to where the joint caps go in easy for easy trail repair and do a tach weld and the c clip , the weld could be filed away on the trail i think

my jks sway bar link on the passenger side had a bent click pin when i got the jeep after wheeling it looked like the mount from the axle was bent down sum
Last night i drove the front driver side tire into a ditch sofly while backing out herd a snap and the mount it bent way down at a angle the disconnect bar was twisted and popped off
is it something with the spring on that side or the axle not being centered
i would like to unhook the sway bar but the tire hits in the front fender also the brake lines twist and get really stiff by the caliper
im not sure how to run and adjust the brake line they are 22 inch rubicon
it broke one the horns too getting off the trail with it unhooked

good times wheeling with ya guys
still cant figure out the front end grinding noise
gears look good and it wont make the noise on a lift
my cam didnt focus need a new one
the shovel made it home, left my valve stem caps at the gas station though the clerkmade me feel rushed to leave while airing up

so the only thing i have done lately is installed a lokka locker on the rear 8.25
you can give it gas while turning fine. only on sharp turn like a uturn you will have to gas it quik for it to lock and it chirps the tire.
i helped a guy attempt to unstuck a f250 and now my doors dont shut as easy and the rear hatch wouldn't open, dude broke my winch trying to respool it and the arb bumber tabs bent to easy, he said he would help fix but ignored me later offcoarse , something i would never do, i always like to help but this time ruined it for me , i may drive by next times as it cost me money i don't have and allot of cleaning mud from inside.
so im done wheeling for awhile dont wana go with out a winch and maybe lose the whole jeep
got a few more brewers pics, someone new has found this spot and is bringing stolen trucks so this place wont last much longer.

i also went through the wall again filled with water , my headlight got moister in it
in the second pic i dug this spot up but couldn't make it.
theirs some nice mud ruts here also, but i never remember to get pics
i thought i was stuck but after reversing a hundred times i managed to get freed
good thing i bring a pump up sprayer to wash the windows or you couldn't see nothing

Got another question i have a rear cv drive shaft rubicon express
,the end towards the axle that slips is really stiff
and had to hammer it to get it to slide,
is that bad? , also on the end behind the ujoint it is open and filled with grease, but is there a cap missing, its about a inch and a half hole of grease, how can i take it apart
