Default A little frozen mud

So while I was wheeling on moday it was -7C out and every bit of water froze onto the front of my Jeep.
I found an old car sitting in an old gravel pit and figured I would drive up on it and when I went to disconnect the sway bar the light would flash but would not stay on steady. I thought right away that my dico motor was screwed like I hear so many others had but when I got home this is what I found.


Under neath the frozen mud there is a disco motor somewhere in there.








There is a winch in here somewhere too.



Then I also ripped my back bumper half off as well

I was trying to need it and my jeep just wouldnt get stuck in anything I put it through.
When I got home I had to see if it would work like that and after prying the cap off the solonoid box so I could hook up the controler it worked just fine.... Ahh the reliability of a Warn

Anyone want to start taking bets if the Disco will work afterwards?
It is fully incased in ice including the whole sway bar.

Personally I will be shocked if it works after this

Horwitz- This is why we have more alcohol in our up here.... to keep it from freezing
