Wow I did mine with old hatch struts for free

 

Don't be jealous.

 

Had my windshield replace today, finally. Jeep doesn't feel the same way afterwards

Just the opposite

 

Playing around with the new winch. Just a little bit. and the pic below, just doing what I can while stock...lol


"Oh, your stock jeep can flex? That's cute" pic, lol

 

Bumper looks great. Just be careful running the winch with lights on and at idle. You'll drain your battery quick that way.

 

That's when the high idle mod comes I. Handy. I have my old fog light switch as my high idle switch

 

How high should it be?

 

Thanks, and yeah it was a long pull too but not under full load. I kept the gas in for a bit. My battery was new when I got the jeep, but I'm looking to get an Odyssey at some point. My XJ has the factory 117a alternator which helps a bit too I reckon

Those lights are temporary anyways--all factory fog wiring with some cheapo AutoZone lights, lol

 

Oh, so your hood falls on your head a few seconds after opening it?

High idle raises from 750 to 1000 RPM in the PCM. Applies only to 4 cyls and 6cyl autos (6 cyl manual PCM doesn't have the pin on its connector)

 

My 10K winch draws 370amps at full load. There's no alternator on the market that come close to keeping up. You normally only do one pull before you start driving and begin to recharge. You didn't do anything wrong, just know what type or strain your putting on your battery when your winching. Get a good, deep cycle battery, give it a chance to recharge between pulls and avoid any unnecessary draws while using the winch.

 

Started pullin the other rearend to match the front gears. Snap off the shock mount bolt.. easier just to swap gears out???

 

Solid advise
