Finally bit the bullet, order a new Bumper for the Rudi yesterday from National. In 2 weeks time A Rugged Ridge XHD Winch Mount Front Bumper, with center hoop and optional end caps will be showing up So can't wait to install it....

Wonder if the wife will notice?????

 

uhmmmmm ya when your not around to cook dinner cause your putting on a bumper, she will notice

 

Cook dinner or install things on the Jeep..

A Man's got to do what a man's got to do... Time to break out the Jeep's cook book.. I can do both at the same time

 

how to cook with your jeep
and work on it at the same time
101
lay out parts to be installed in a organized manor
lay out fish fillets of choice on tin foil, fish on the shinny side
start jeep be sure exhaust has enough ventilation
add lemon to fish add salt and pepper as desired wrap and seal tin foil there should be enough moisture inside that you can hear a bit of it sloshing around
wrap again in another layer
open hood, place fish on the hottest part of engine near exhaust manifold
leave engine idling
return to parts
install you accessories as per instruction don't forget to take refreshment breaks
finish install clean up should have taken little more than an hr
turn off engine open hood
remove tinfoil package from engine
unwrap fish
and serve up
note you may have run out of gas during this procedure you may need to cook in oven
jeeps operating temperature is 195*F so adjust accordingly your cooking times, if ya get worms you did so cause you actually tried this
i would only do this if it was pre-cooked food
hotdogs are great just like at the ball park.

enjoy
or not

you know i'm so bored when

 

You'll love it.
It installs very nice.
I didn't get the winch hoop since I was going to go with the Powerplant. Now that I changed to the Superwinch I might add it.



The RR skid is great too. Since you have a Rubi, it protects the disconnect motor perfectly.


Of course I haven't done the air flow cooling Mod that Todd did for his Superwinch, to make sure the control box doesn't overheat


Cheers
