Just wanted to post up a few quick photos of the backbone and winch. Turned out great after a couple of hours prying and pushing to get all the bolts to line up. Very strong mount.

Looks great! Which winch is that? You may want to switch from that steel cable over to synthetic winch rope. It's a lot lighter and a lot safer!

Warn 9500ti, And a big 10-4 on the cable, I just havn't had the extra money. Still have to carry a blanket to throw over the cable until I get the 125 feet of synthtic rope. I have the aluminum fairlead, so that's a move in the right direction! |

any instructions on cuttin the front bumper? I dont wanna mess anythingup on my limited's bumper when i decide to get this? How about some nice red D-rings for the front of that. You can use the d-rings as a high lift mount point correct? |

It was scary cutting the bumper. No template for the 05-07. Find the center line, measure out to the edges of the base plate. Then cut a straight line base plate width about 2 inches in from the grill side of the bumper. It was hard to get it right; my back cut behind the winch is crooked but covered by the winch mostly. In other words measure 14 times cut once....... Wes |
