Cliffhanger on the way & new tow points.

[J10Mike]

This was a Friday night project a few weeks back. I bolted Clevis mounts to my rear bumper and installed the D-shakles. I know the rear bumper isn't that strong. But, it will due until I can find an aftermarket rear bumper made for the J10 Sportside.
Also, my new Cliffhanger front winch bumper is on the way. It should be delivered this week.

rockin' Mike. I'd rather tweak my less-strong rear bumper, that have a super solid rear bumper and tweak my frame.....anywho, let us know how you like the cliffhanger!

looks very nice!

I just had a ARB winch bumper from a Toyota Series 80 put on my 82 Cherokee W/T. Looks great and I also had them put on a Warn 9.5 XP on it. Just got back from Moab and had no problems. I had Advanced Four Wheel Drive in Salt Lake do the work. Initially it was supposed to be 3 days, however that turned into 2 weeks. A lot of fabrication went into it, however it looks like it was made to fit. I will post pictures as soon as I can.

yes bill, please post some pics. i would like to see it.

Where did you get your clevis mounts? How much did it run ya for the pair? Looks great, I could see those on the massive hunk of steel residing under my tailgate :D

[J10Mike]

ryan,
i got them from http://www.r-p4wd.com/site/ in oregan and they weren't cheap...$60 for the pair. but, they are rock solid.

J10mike, how much was shipping? I live next to this town cause of family. I wonder If I could have shipped them to you for cheaper? Just curious.

[J10Mike]

i believe shipping to st. louis was an even $10 for ups ground. that's not that bad compared to the cost of shipping the cliffhanger to me.

WOW.

Mike, again I apologize for the issues we encountered. Next time won't be as tough, I promise! btw, that thing looks sweet on there.

Nice looking bumper. What model winch will bolt up to it?

[billyrb]

Any standard winch (MileMarker, Warn, Ramsey) that has a 10x4.5 mounting. I think the 15k models need to have slight mods to the bumper to fit, but anything under that will fit.
