I had a set of rampage Rock Crushers on the Jk for the last 3 years or so.

They began to chip and flake pretty badly, so I decided to re-create them!

I cut them open , drilled 9 3 inch holes in the side of them and then had them sandblasted and powdercoated for 200 bucks.

They are now a totally custom looking rock guard!

 

looks good man ! , jus wondering tho if you wheel pretty hard do you think the strength is compromised ? like em !

 

also how is that runva winch ? does it perform well ? any issues ?

 

Here they are on the JK.... I really like the look!

As far as strength goes.... they are well boxed bent and welded... don't think it will make a difference.




Yes that is a Runva9500 with syntheic line (60ft) got it new off of e-bay for 235 dollars on a bid I won on 3 years ago!
I've never had problems with the winch, one spring I pulled a tree over sideways before it moved the jeep... (stuck bad). I've only done recovery wit hit twice, mostly used it to pull up stumps.

I did have a problem with the control unit once... the switch quit working... but it was easy to fix. Other then that... it seems to pull strong, and is rather quick.

congrats, good job.

 

i have to agree ! installed those look really good ! ive heard and read alot of good things about the runva . they have some good videos on youtube of em in action . you got a hell of a deal

 

I watched them for a year and never saw one go for under 400... so yeah... it was a great deal!

 

Thanks It's got me thinking about putting so holes in my home-built axle truss as well...
