You have a ARB bumper, Why is the winch not being installed in it?

if i put the winch in the front then it will get too heavy and i will get stuck in the sahara, my Xj is already heavy enough with a 200 ltr extra gas tank in the back and 100 ltr water tank on the roof rack, so thats about 300 ltrs of extra weight,
plus i'm not building my xj as a recovery vehicle |
Yesterday I put the new wheels on. We tried to stuff 33's in the stock fenders, no go! I just left the 32 AT's on it. The offset on the new wheels caused MAJOR rubbing so today we took care of that. We removed the flares and did a "cut and tuck" on the rear and cut the front. We went from 4 1/2" tire to flare clearance to 7 1/4". Here's some shots of the result.

Had a little free time today. Fabbed up a mount for the fairlead on the winch:

This is what it looked like before the cutting: http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/d...21/Jeep011.jpg After the cut: http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/d...21/Jeep013.jpg New end welded in: http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/d...21/Jeep014.jpg Finished and ready to paint: http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/d...21/Jeep015.jpg Put a powertrax no-slip in the rear this last week end, no pics, just great results! |
