I can imagine.

 

I'll definitely trade jobs with you... but I don't know how well your skills will work in my profession

 

Burger flipper?

 

no a lil more exciting. I work for Academi

 

lol, nevermind.

Cool stuff. Do they not drive cars over there?

 

not a local national... I'm Personnel Protection Specialist/ Medical Support.

 

Nice, my job is boring.

I have coilovers and lockers in my office chair tho.

ANYways, no more clogging this thread. I'm looking forward to some more on this build.

Justin, about how close are you cutting the winch to the harmonic balancer? I didn't think there was enough room between it and the cross member to mount a winch.

You're the first I've seen that left the stock cross member in place.

 

^X2 definitely want to put my winch in the same area

 

now for the pics that a few of you have been waiting for...

I actually had to drill some new holes as my first measurements didn't work.. (i just mocked up the spool not the whole winch.. ) fortunately with a little massaging i got it in there with minimal changes to the bumper..







there's definitely no spare room..

also got my exhaust done, rear axle/suspension/brakes on along with the gas tank skid.

 

you aren't kidding about no extra room. i really hope i can fit all my **** in like that. are you running the stock steering box? or durango?

 

Yeah, that's about what I measured. I figured I'd have about a half inch of room.

My only concern with that is if the winch spools thick in the center I'd have my rope rubbing on the pulley. That may never happen but I'd like the extra comfort room. Plus, the motor on my winch isn't near as long. It should fit a little better width wise.

Lookin good!
