wow. nice setup on the front. was it you that wrote that you were concerned about air flow with that winch so you were mounting it low to flow more air? excellent work either way. super detailed winch! well done thanks for posting pics. cool about the pinion angle too. way to go Jeff. Yes the bumper has a recessed winch deck, but not a whole lot. We measured it against Jeff's, and mine sits only 1" lower than his. Probably won't make much difference for airflow. But my winch plate has holes cut into it too, and hopefully this will help with the airflow. I've read about people having problems with their Jeeps running hot because of this winch obstructing the airflow, but Jeff has never had a problem with his so I'm hoping mine won't be a problem either.

Winch looks great, mount is really nice, worth putting the extra effort in on both. I doubt mine will ever look that good. My relay box has the W upside down, and no it doesn't just flip over, it only fits one way. I could redrill the holes I just didn't bother.

Glad I could help. You have a nice Jeep there Cindy, and that bumper is very clean. I really like it.

Cindy, your Jeep is awesome, you put a lot of thought into the build and it shows...I am very impressed with the way it drives/handles on the road and the way it conquers obstacles on the trail, that Detroit Tru trac is definitely the front locker for a daily driver, I haven't noticed it at all, except on the trail when both front wheels are always spinning KAC did an awesome job rebuilding the 8274, all new seals and stuff, painted and that spanky new rope, it feels like a brand new winch!! Thanks Kevy, very nice!! I never noticed all the lil' vibes you had after the lift was put in, like gearing down hard, hard take off accelerations, that lil' vibe it had at 50kmph, like I said, "I never noticed" till I changed the pinion angle and now runs as smooth as it did when it was stock. Congrats Cindy, I "Luvyourjeep". she's one sexy beast!! Jeff

Isn't that post something you should put in a letter, on a heart shaped pillow, in a scented candle filled room, on a bed covered with rosepetals. ;D

I'm sure he wasn't thinking he loves my Jeep when it left him stranded on the Cobequid Pass today! He was probably kicking the tires saying he hated my Jeep! I notice he posted that before the incident today. lol But it was a very nice post - just hope he feels the same after today.
