I bought a little Eastwood 135 back in November to do some projects with.
Now I'm hooked on making stuff for the jeep.

Finishing up this now:





Note, this tacked together on the Jeep with the 135, I used a miller 252 to finish weld the rest of it.

Looks good man. Gonna be a pretty tight profile to the front cross member, huh?

Front Cross Member is getting cut out around the winch to slip through.

Going to sit nice and tight inside:

Are you going to have to offset the winch a little? I would would love to do this but from everything I've read there's no way to do it with out the fairlead being a little off center. I think it would drive me nuts although the approach angle might make up for it.

Yes, it is off set but not enough for you to tell unless your really really OCD I guess. One side of the winch is shorter than the other and the short side goes against the steering box. So it keeps it mostly centered.

Ah, you got SWAG's infinite 8, huh? Let me know how you like it, been thinking about getting one myself, and re-do my rolling stand...

Also check out their air-over-hydro conversion, and digital readout...makes things WAY easier.
