Good guy to deal with I got the integrated bumper so it sticks out a bit so its first to hit not my header pannel i'll add wings to it eventually and i can keep the solenoid on the winch and it clears my steering box brace.

Chevy work light project

First made a bracket out of my old front cross-member and drilled some holes

Here's how the work light mounts to the bracket

Finished product

Best part is it has a 20ft cord

And it has a on/off switch

[5-Speed XJ]

yeah I was surprised how long the cord is its a easy mod too

real jeeps have proper gearboxes that you move levers and such while you wheel.



That will get the auto lovers all riled up!

After seeing how much to trim i had to test it out before taking it on a shack down run on a local C6.
Flexing rock in my driveway comes in handy

The C6

I wish I had a rock in my drive way.
