a little vid of me in some trees. also, just want to be clear that all of everything i post is 100% legal. i do not run on unsanctioned trails or in illegal areas.

i gotta be honest, tho. living where i do, and running the trails i run, i cant hate mud. its an unavoidable element on most of the trails in the pacific northwest. also, i am not much for rocks. i had a bad experience with a rock once.
 
yup. cut most of the mounts off, welded on some plate, and drilled and sleeved 3 holes in the front spring hanger, as well as using the factory bumper mounts in the crossmember. i can get some pics if you want. i am amazed at how well it holds up, i have been very colse to rated load on my winch and the bumper stayed put.
 
well, dont do it the way i did. found out yesterday that i didnt have enough support above the winch to hold the bumper on.

here is the jeep i was trying to help recover.
