Got the power steering cooler plumbed in:

 

Nice! Which one is the PS cooler? lol... I see what appears to be a trans cooler too. Is the larger one for the trans and the smaller for the PS or the other way around? I've got a factory trans cooler waiting to go in on mine. Really need to get replacement lines for mine too 'cause they're both pinched from where the UCA bracket made contact with them back when I first got it.

 

The one on the right is the transcooler, it is 3x more cooling capacity over the factory cooler I was using. Has made a real difference on the trail when it comes to keeping everything cool on hot days.

The one on the left was my old factory transcooler I had.
I’ve now plumed the power steering pump return line through it so it should stay nice and cool.

If you haven’t installed a cooler yet I recommend going to Advanced and picking up a similar unit to what I have. It’s about $35 and comes with hoses and install clips.

 

Good to know, thanks for the tip!

 

New Headlights are in along with the update grille changes

 

Got the LEDs lit up.



Each set is wired into the turn signals on that side / running lights

 

Nice!

 

Well finally got the front end put back together when I finished up the bumper:









Took some engineering to get it in by myself:




Final Product:

 

I've put the front and back bumper on my Cherokee, and the rear bumper on my Comanche by myself and I've found the best way is to just be a contortionist. I hold the bumper up and position it with a leg and a hand and then use my other hand to Start bolts in till it can hold itself. A lot easier doing bumpers than wrestling a Jetta transmission in by myself without a jack. That was rough. Anyways I really like how you did the wings on the bumper.

 

Good stuff, man!

 

 

Well I got to try out the winch today in the bumper...

Guy at work got one of our forklifts stuck In a gravel parking lot.
All 10.5klbs of it, tires suck down a few inches.

We Had to dig out from under it a little but my little 8000lb winch pulled it back to the asphalt. In hind sight I should have used my ****** block, but it slipped my mind how much these electric forklifts weight.

But hey id call it a success!

 

Pretty good testament to what that winch will do. What winch is it, btw?

 

Awesome report on the use of your winch. so you just cut the crossmember enough to fit the winch and bolted it to the bumper?

 

It's a 8000lb Champion winch from Tractor Supply.
Only complaint I have about it is that it is slow as molasses.

More or Less Yes.

I cut the cross member just enough for the winch to fit


Here is a not so clear picture of the clearance between the harmonic balancer and the Winch.
