i have no idea. i just cant help it. im so addicted. plus the hi 9 will be a longer build and more expensive. i got some ten factory chromos last night for a deal so i figure truss it and call it done for now(truss is 159$ but you have to but mounts separtely), then start building a better front. the 30 will probably hold up for a few more years id say...
 
Pics?

Sounds like a fun project. Cant wait to see your willy's on the trail some day
 
Nice build, You got any pic's.

got the winch bumper in the mail today. painted it up and threw it on. all 6 driver side holes mounted up, ony 3 of the 6 pass side mounted up. i ended up drilling holes through the bumper and rails and went from 6 bolts per side to 7 on the passenger and 8 on the driver side
 
went from 6 on the driver side

i just ruined my approach angle, but i moved all of the crap outta the fender well(already cut em up along time ago) so that helps
 
P1010729.jpg


i might cut the overhang off each side with the sawzall. it goes a little too far pass and driver by like 2" if im gonna ruin approach angle i might as well make sure im narrow

oh ya im going to bolting up a vise to the front bumper for not just trail repair but for overall convenience, i figure the first time i use it that it will more than pay for itself
 
Dont narrow it Jon. My TnT bumper saved my ass all over but especially where it wrapped around the corners.

I did get hung up on it once trying to back down something but it much more good than harm.

New bumper looks good BTW
