Thinking about a new bumper for my 80. Currently have an ARB on it which has been great but looking for something with more clearance once my 3 link kit is complete. ARB is more of a plow into stuff and push over it. Would like it to be compatible with my m12000 winch. What should I be looking at?

Is there a secret to removing the large nut that is exposed once the rear wiper arm is removed? Just turns and turns and turns. Repainting the rear hatch so trying remove it without pulling the entire mechanism on the inside.
Any reason why I shouldnt use body filler to fill in the the holes when I pull the factory rack off? Fixing other dents and dings so figured why not. Lots less work than dropping the headliner to weld them shut.
The Line X on my 80 is lifting at the corner of one of the doors after denting it on my last trip out. Tried googling and Youtubing but cannot find anything on re gluing it down. Anyone else deal with this before? Thinking epoxy but that will make real mess if it doesnt work.

Hi,
I am relatively new to the 80 and am looking for advice on what I should be replacing to fix my leaking power steering. The high pressure line was leaking when I bought it and the PO had a oem line to replace it that came with it. I figured I would let it go until I had to get in there and...
