[youngjeeper]

this is the idea i had

the green is the exo cage tied from the back bumper over the fender to the slider then from the slider over the fender to the winch bumper, gives better approach for tires.

looking good slim smile.gif

it's true, once you've got it out the thought process goes:

don't need that [sawzall]
that's gotta weigh at least 20 lbs [sawzall]
it's kinda sunny out right now [sawzall]
what the heck does this do?...eh [sawzall] :D

looking good slim smile.gif That's how I cut mine up front for clearance, though I went a route different than tube:

If you set the winch back into the grille, you can probably gain another 6" off what I have on my setup:

Yes ,,im hopen ,,,,,,,,with the winch attached and mounted,Im out just 4" from front frame,,,

well thats the plan anyways ......lol

[rockjeep44]

That's cool, I'm interested to see how the final product is gonna look. I think it'll be pretty nice.

[Robber80]

it'll will work good, i like the idea, the more approach the better.

[Slim]
