Fixored!

Oh, there IS a gun rack in the Jeep. ;) Today, I removed the bean counter designed spare tire mount from the tailgate on my Jeep. Then re-welded all the messed up stuff on the tailgate. It will survive as long as a spare tire is not mounted on it the same way again. Spare tire is in the back...

The camo paint is growing on me. Get a lot of cold stares from the hippies when I go to town, heh heh heh. Need a Ted Nugent bumper sticker, thats what I need............

Took mine out in woods. Got the tires dirty. Tried out the winch. It pulls good. Do not like the freewheel effort. Easier to power line out. Could be I should grease the big drum bearing. Going to leave tires dirty. Bugs the greenies when I go to town.

Thanks BH, yep, you're correct. No big deal.

Looked around and used the search function, didn't see anything on this. Where/ how to check/fill the oil level in my Warn M8274 winch. K

Today, I wired my winch and made a control cable. It works.

I found a Warn Winch for my Jeep.
