Use a chain on the stump so you do not tear your rope up. The chain will dig in too.Tried using the winch on the 200 to pull this little stump out and it was pulling the 200 closer

Relay, Temp sensor, Fan motorI’m trying to figure out why one of my fans comes on but not the other! I don’t like electronics!
It look like each runs through a fuse and the fuses looked good. I did find that each fan has a wire going from its fuse block to the temp sensor on the engine and the wiring looks like its melted up a bit or at least all the wire casing is stuck together from oil coming out of the valve cover vent (I probably need to get a catch can set up). I was almost wondering if the second fan might be set to come on at a higher temp but I'm not sure how the temps would be set? There is mechanical temp thingy hooked up to the upper radiator hose but based on what I can tell, its connects to nothing else but the battery.Relay, Temp sensor, Fan motor
Man that’s some nice work. Good job and congrats.Well it has taken some time but I have finally gotten my Tire Carrier Swing Arm done.
BIG BIG BIG shout out to my fellow 470 GX buddy in Richmond Chris for all of his help.. Like doing the work and welding. I was just the helper and designer.
Picked the hottest weekend to do the work and sweated ourselves almost crazy.
3/16 2x3 Steel 10’ worth.
3.6 2x2 Steel 2’ worth
Hinge, latch, and tire carrier plate from 4x Innovations
License plate holder w/ LED light from Amazon
Body trim from Amazon
Wheel studs from Lexus Dealer
Black Paint from Autozone
I took Chris’s basic design he made for himself and slightly tweaked it into a version 2.0. Instead of just a straight bar we did some angels to help keep the arm from being too far out from the body. To ensure that the arm didn’t lose too much of its strength we opted to do “bird cuts” on the backside and bend the metal so that the outside face was intact, then we welded it in place.

The plan was to run all the wiring inside of the arm to make it super clean but due to a slight mistake a shim was welded in that closed off the interior. We were racing against the clock at that point and could not remedy it at that time, perhaps in the future we will fix it. For now the wiring is on the back of the arm held in place with some zip ties.
Also i made a measuring mistake and cut the tire tree a bit short and the wheel does not sit flush to the plate but a spacer should fix that issue.
I have to say that the 4x Innovation parts are BEEFY!! and there wasn’t anything wrong with them at all.
Took roughly 2 days of steady work and a lot of sweating but I am SUPER happy with the results!

But what will decorate your work bench now? Hahamounted the LFD dual jerry can holder and rugged ridge Hi Lift mount to my second swing arm. i like this mount due to its compatibility with the front runner water jerry can with the built in spout ( has a cut out on the left to access the spout without having to remove the can ) Next on the list is front calipers, rotors, and all new bearings in the front. I'm tired of looking at all these parts sitting on the bench

o there's enough crap around my shop i can promise you thatBut what will decorate your work bench now? Haha
I think he's got a mistake on there. He has these bolts circled but the part number he lists is the hub stud, not the bolt connecting the hub to the rotor.
