My wife had a talk with me today regarding the jeep... Luckily it was about getting a new winch bumper for it. She likes the Tuff Stuff bumper and the JCR winch bumper that looks almost identical. I'm on a budget (credit card limits...lol) so I'm leaning towards the Tuff Stuff bumper. I'm not sure how I feel about how it mounts to the unibody. I don't want to regret the purchase.
Man, that does not look right for a winch bumper. Full tie ins for the win

That's what I was thinking too. I'm not sure but the Tuff Stuff pic looks like the mounts are two separate plates (a longer one underneath and then a factory looking one on top).
Does anyone know any similar looking bumpers that have a better frame mount?

Those mounts will be fine as long as you keep those longer pieces on. I have a similar setup for my tow hooks and got winched out of a nasty spot last month no issues
So I finally got back on the "buying parts I don't really need" bandwagon after being away at school since the fall, and I'd say I did pretty good. Snagged a used ARB bumper with a winch, hi-lift, and some decent KC lights, all for a price I couldn't refuse. Needs some TLC but still worth it

It is 2 separate plates. The idea is the bottom plate helps, what's the damn word im looking for, transfer the load of the bumper, in use, to that last bolt as well as the other bolts. Gun metal just said he's used his similar setup and it works. Personally i would rather have a full tie in bumper but that's just me
New oil pan gasket rear main seal and oil filter housing gaskits! No more leaks (at least oil). Noticed my fuel pump leaking and it's loud so that's gonna be new tomorrow!
So I figured I would start on my front seats. Just the passenger today. Does not require quite the rehabing that the driver's does. So separated the seat. Cleaned up the back and put on the Coverking Rhinohide seat cover. Gotta tell ya. Not disappointed. Think it will even fit a bit better after some time. Gotta clean the bottom good and do the same. POR 15'ing the metal where the seat attaches too.
Replaced the drivers door harness , original owner tried to fix it already . I was tired of Windows only working when I wiggled the harness . I found a used harness on eBay for $20 with no broken wires .
topped off the coolant( got a leak somewhere) and re installed scangauge in it. jeeps gonna play dd for a while since my mom will have my jetta for ann unknown amount of time
