Nice!!! I have the same bumper and I was wondering what other kinds of winches I could get without it getting too complicated. They recommend the 9500 cti. Anything extra besides the bracket that you needed to do this?

 

I just finished my winch install also! Its a "winch" sort of week

10,000 lb
5.6HP
3-stage planetary
265:1
Auto load holding
Free spooling
Hawse fairlead
3/8" X 85ft synthetic
Only 64 lbs.!

I like how low everything came out... nice and tucked. I upgraded the bolts to a better strength instead of the 8.8 that the company gives you also. I'm pleased how everything came out. Now I have to just get stuck







The picture below show that I had to notch out an area for the wires. No problem for the dremel 4000!

 

Finished my homemade stinger today

 

That stinger looks good!

I wanted to add to my post above ......my winch is now on lock down!!!!....

I made end loops in a sleeved 1/4 cable and locked the ends together with a good Master Lock; hidden, of course behind the bumper's framing.


---------Who here locks their winch down to the frame or bumper? Do you all worry about theft like me?

 

I saw a video where the guy tack welded couple u shape metals over the bolts so you can touch to bolts unless you break them off, this is was I'm thinking of doing.

 

After 5 cuts and smacking nose doing nutserts and all day of working on my jeep I finally installed a relay on my lights. Put some jk-forum decals on, and mounted my cb in a different location with the strike force zebra mount. And i love it! I really liked drilling holes in my jeep for the nutserts.

 

Looks Good!

Wouldn't mind getting myself a set of those one day...

 

Sweet!

Just wait till you pull the trigger on some body armor skins and see if you like drilling 42 holes into the side and installing nutserts!

 

Oh no! I if after 2 I smacked my nose hard imagine after 40 more? Haha

But they are on the list lol
