I dig it. Looks like an island vehicle.

Did you happen to build an access point to switch the lever from spool in, free spool, and spool out?

It’s all wireless, even the clutch. There is a switch to turn on and off the wireless function on winch. I just reach in and turn winch on before going wheeling. I leave it on all weekend so it’s always ready to go. Just have to turn on remote to use it.
This front winch is a 12k. I have the 10K version mounted on back, it has been very reliable and actually use it 3-4 times more than the front.

Thanks, especially since it just started out as a piece of 14x6 by 1/4" thick tube steel from the scrap yard.
Yes and No. No because I wouldn't build the same thing twice. But I don't regret doing it. Sure it was a heck of a lot of work, cutting metal and wires not really knowing what I was getting into, but having the confidence that I can make it work. I have a Fuck it Cut it, now I got to fix it mentality.
LOL, never cross my mind, but ya I see what your saying. :thumb:

Thanks. Pushed radiator back 1.5”, cut 5.75” off frame and moved a bunch of stuff. Lots of test fitting.

I was wondering if you pushed it back. I’ve seen them tight before but never that tight!!!
You did an awesome job!

Confidence is half the battle! Skill and a bit of luck make up the rest. I’m assuming that you made the rear bumper and I like the added rear facing winch! Mounting it in the jack compartment like that turn out really nice! The front bumper looks really unique as well. I’m still getting use to how tight it is to the grill. It almost doesn’t look real. Nice work all the way around!

Definitely unique and looks pretty cool. Wish I possessed those fab skills.
This is my approach to most things. I'll give it a try first and if I mess it up or it's more than I can handle I'll call someone to help me fix it..haha. I've had far more successes and learned a lot doing things this way.

I mentioned about disabling the voice control because I don’t like hitting it by accident. I took the steering wheel apart and took the button assembly apart. On the button pad I cut off the Voice and phone button rubber tit that makes contact with the button inside.

Not near taking the steering wheel apart, but I usually end up doing the same to the damn panic button on key fobs. Nothing like having the keys in your pocket, contorted in some way my body doesn't bend any more working on the Jeep, just to have something press against the panic button and the horn starts blaring.

Think this is the first full b pillar chop I’ve seen. Looks good. Really like the front bumper all tucked in!
