Just stumbled upon the Rally video on YouTube, so no detail ideas, but they are all manual , V8 diesel turbo and I remember in one of the threads here at ih8mud, the suspension was discussed.

Honestly I see the G 4x4^2 as a more purposeful vehicle but I'd love to see it as a SWB

Life gets busy from time to time . . .

Preparing for the expeditions 2015-2016 season. Finally got the TJM T3, heavy fabrication was needed to get it fixed with the stock winch. And the famous clear view trailer side view mirrors.. .. Mater look

You mention a stock winch...
Is that it on the side of the license plate?? That would seem an odd winch location if not centered.
What am I missing?
??

Bumper looks great, by the way.

It's right under the number plate, hidden by a black plate. I'll post all pics, later of fabrication etx. The plate can be taken off in a minute ..two small nuts..

Ahaha!

On my bumper...that was never possible. Cool!

So my answer was...just leave off the license plate! Heehee...
California police don't really seem to care...unless they are in a bad mood.
I've driven without a front license plate for many years, and was only bugged about it once.

Paid my $10 when I showed them it was mounted...then promptly took it off again!
So at that rate...I figure it costs me about 35 cents a year to have no front plate.
