Thanks i new yours looked somewhat wider than the norm on here. Any reason for going with the wheel spacers instead of a wheel with more backspacing say 2.5"

Went out wheeling today with XJFANATIC up in the white tanks. He had a friend down from Commiefornia so we took him out for some fun. Ran an awsome trail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was nice and cool, a little over cast. Perfect day. Here are some of the Photos from today.





















Thats all I have for now. I will try to upload the ones off my phone tommarow.

Well I finally bit the bullet and went down and picked up my
wench. SmittyBilt XRC 10. $650 with a full replacement warrenty for 4 yrs.


Had to cut a bit for the electrical control box to fit.

Went ahead and added some LED lights along the sides so I could see the wench at night to help plug in. Worked out pretty good.



I havent got to test out its capability yet. I will let you all know what I think when I get a chance

Love the steering. very well biult. I didnt use any bump stops. I might in the future , just havent yet. but then I havent needed them. limiting straps wouldnt be a bad idea. I located my brake lines a little lower down on the fender. but I havent needed them.
