Tell us about your light setup, particularly headlights. Thx
All my lights I pretty much got from amazon. My headlights are vipmotoz fj80 headlamp with halo rings and angel eyes. And the yellows are flood lights. The circular ones are the spot lights
Installed a new front DC shaft I had made up at a local shop.
For towing, I would have to agree. Horsepower and towing capacity are both weak points for the 80 series. I would not make a business of towing with my 80 for that reason.
On the other hand, I typically wheel and hunt alone in really remote areas and I am getting long in the tooth. The most important consideration for me is the likelyhood of the vehicle breaking down and not getting me back home. I would take an 80 series over any other vehicle ever made when those were the primary considerations. Every single component in the suspension and drive line are better made and more substantial in an 80 series than in any line from Jeep or any other manufacturer's vehicles for that matter. Since those are the items that break most often offroad, I'll take my 80! I have only had to take a long walk one time in my 80 many years ago. I cut the sidewalls on two tires at once (inferior all-terrains). I use Toyo mud tires now and don't have to be too concerned.

Found this beauty a couple of months back at a local garage sale. $100 paid since it wasn’t working. Tore it all apart and found one bad contactor and bad wiring; some hack had been in there before me. Was gonna powder coat it but the finish cleaned up so well so I left it alone.
I’ve rebuilt ’bout 10 Warn’s in the last year or two and this one is a beast. It’s components are stout and totally oversized.
I loaded it with 85’ of 7/16“ synthetic Masterpull line and threw a cheapie cover on it and I think I’m ready for business !

What color did you spray that back panel with?...looks good!
Quarter panel louver leak culprit?
The gasket for top trim tab was shredded, will fix that.
Does the other edge piece coming off the louver itself have anything to do with anything? And confirmed. Both of these are leaking into cab.
Will also assume the bottom bolt is too.
In stock at NAPA.
And now the clips.
also going to seal these.

I went with Duplicolor medium grey on everything... went ahead and cleaned with purple super cleaner, then warmed panels with a heat gun, sprayed and rewarmed to promote drying... came out good, no runs, seems to cure well to the panels. I replaced all panel clips and added some sound deadening inside the dead spaces
Thanks for the info. I’ve got this issue and try and hog the garage when it rains because of it. Replacing rear window rubbers is on the short list
