yeah. I got mine the way I did so it would be a tighter fit towards the front end and so I could move my winch from the front to the rear if needed. I'm very happy with nates4x4 and he works with you if you want to modify it.

Couple of small practical updates. Rig was getting hot so flushed rad, replaced rad cap, and changed tstat. Did some pretty good wheelin today and no overheating stayed under 210. Wired in a universal trailer kit. Flashers on trailer were dim and fast, so upgraded flasher to HD electronic flasher. Will test this today. Waiting to talk with wife about trip to jeep school in northern oh this year for a staycation. If so, ordering either detours backbone or nates4x4 front recessed winch bumper, rage roof rack, and cb setup. Included some pics of the fams wheelin trip today!

Flasher worked great! Pic of new hookup at the ready. Install was easy. Took drivers side rear plastic out. Found wiring harness the lights were plugged into. Metered out which wire was which light at the harness (didnt "poke" the wire). Tested good with meter so i tested on actual trailer and that is when i found that i needed HD flasher. At first i messed up and replace hazards flasher (top right of fuse panel under steering column). Then realized it was the one on bottom left. Oem part was a light blue flasher, not the chrome/silver one. Now - Blinky blinky. Ready to tow.
Next i mounted a fire extinguisher in the back. Getting into some more serious wheelin and $13 is worth peace of mind.

Love the Jeep, brother! My wife and 3 kids love to go wheeling in mine too. My wife is the admin for our pastor at our church. We have about 9 acres of land across the street from our church and I've tried several times to set up some 'Muddin for Christ' church event....but so far I've been turned down
