Hey when was the last time you swept your garage floor? That has to be hard on your back. Anyway the build looks good.

you ought to make a thread on RockHardXJ!
looks like you've come a long way since this last pic I saw of it -
Also - are you planning on some type of a 'double' A-Pillar? Id be kinda concerned about the angle your A-pillar is at - not vertical enough for me.
Looks like a lot of fun to me! :thumbup:

I do not do build treads, just pictures here and there
The a pillar is 44* much like a xj. I want to keep some lines. I am reusing the top from the exo
I'm in the middle of adding a dash bar and wind shield bars. I'm not the least put worried.
I have a lot of tubing to add.
The plans are to make it a three seater

I already had them. I see no point buying an atv winch. Everyone I roll with dose it this way and it works works well

Why a suspension suck down winch?
Does it loop around the axle's?
Elaborate for the rest of us.

So your suspension doesn't unload on you when you are on a steep hill climb for the front end, and steep decent on the rear end.

theres other reasons to have them as well, such as lowering your center of gravity and being able to "suck" your flex up for better traction in certain situations.

Thats pretty cool. Thank you gentlemen for shedding some light on that. I figured it was a 2 girls one cup thing.. 2 winches 1 jeep.. Hmm.. Gotta love beer fridays at work.. I am sure thats not nearly as funny as I think it is.

I've seen suck down winches used to amazing effect. When a rig would get stuck or hund up on a rock, a little tap of one winch or another would open up a lot of options.
