Does your oil filter have step-by-step pictorial instructions on how to change the oil filter?

The good thing about peanut butter is that you can hold the jar upside down and nothing happens.

I can fuses but I had to take it to the dealer for the shocks.

On a serious note, YJ owners had better be able to fix their stuff when it breaks. JK owners on the other hand... apparently some of them try to call a tow truck after bending their steering on the trails

That never works

I got a peanut butter blizzard once. Couldn't get it out of the cup, and then it fell out when I flipped it right-side-up. I guess two wrongs make a what?

The fender was rotted a good way up the panel..the other picture was just a blank I stuffed in there to trace the hole.

So I'm going to be making a new winch bumper, when I make it the winch will be mounted to the front plate instead of the bottom plate (on the inside of the bumper), will that be a problem? I would imagine it would be better because the bolts don't have any shear load on them when winching.
Thoughts?

Nothing wrong with that. I'd suggest removing the OEM crossmember and making the bumper as low profile as possible.

That's what I'm doing, winch will be a couple inches from the harmonic balancer. Face of bumper will be at most 3" from grill
