I also went 0 gauge. Looking to run a breaker off the battery then tying both lines into a block coming off the breaker. Clean things up a bit.

You’d definitely need to pull the hidden compartment to get one of these in there. Might still poke through the floor too unless you build your own mount

Hey!

Puhleeze post more pics of helper, and less pics of winch thingies!
Thanks!

That's with steel cable. Much lighter with synthetic.
I was thinking about upright. And you're right, they're about six inches taller than more current models. But they are also narrower.
No matter which winch is used, the spare tire will get in the way. It would have to be removed to safely mount a receiver winch. So I'm still not sure about a winch. I may get something like this.

That’s awesome. Nicely executed.
I vaguely remember that. I'd go for a hidden rear mount if I didn't also want a trailer hitch.

I've been wanting to do the same thing. I've accumulated some exhaust parts to play with. I figure it's going to be louder than it already is
I know somebody that did the four link and dumped the exhaust off in front of the rear tire.

It’s louder than I’d like but at least there’s no drone. A bit of raspiness under full throttle. Girlie loves it though so it’s all good. I only drive it wheeling

Not sure if the owner is on this forum but I stumbled onto this via YouTube. Since then, saw him post a couple times in some FB groups.
He did custom fab and bumpers and ran ComeUp winches.
Tried linking the videos but they are now private. Short version they too had to cut and fabricate the frame so it was supported. StellarBuilt in CA did the fab work.

I frickin love that setup. I haz the jealousyNot sure if the owner is on this forum but I stumbled onto this via YouTube. Since then, saw him post a couple times in some FB groups.

Me too, me too.
I talked with Stellar. They were willing to do another but I had to drop my Bronco (approx 2,000 miles from me) and work was by the hour. It’s all custom and intricate stuff. The front included a skid plate and also custom mounts for crash bar removal.
*Approximate* estimates shared with me put both bumpers as shown in the $9-10k range. Had the wife bought in, but distance was the deal killer for us. And I couldn’t find a local shop with skills or time to tackle this project.
