Hi:
Best of luck, feel free to contact me with questions or thoughts. If you have the GDE Eco tune, does that mean tour DPF regen cycles are already disengsged, or is that an option you can choose? I can not remember how jt goes, but I know mine had DPF delete and GDE tune when I bought it.
I would be comcerned if your Jeep still has DOF, but regen cycles have been turned off. Not saying that is the case, but you might want to check into it.
Sounds like you have your own fabrication equipment. That will come in handy. I just bought a Saguaro front bumper, and am looking to get it copied in aluminum. Payload is not your friend with the WK build. Everything you out on the WK to improve performance and ability actually decreases usable payload, unless it is lighter than stock.
Wham or Wam bumpers in the US, Georgia I think, has started making WK bumpers. For hidden winch, check out Omelet's designs and drawings of Jeepforum. Hidden winch is a good way to go, but I am also comcerned about front end impacts. The CRD has an intercooler, ps cooler, trans cooler and radiator all within the first foot of the nose. Thats a lot of potential damage from a bird, deer, parking lot strike. I am preparing to out s snorkel on mine, will let you know how it goes. Let me know when you start getting red lightning bolts. I may be able to help. There is another guy on here, SSF556, with one too. He has built a nice rig.
What do you think of the OME HD and its sffect on fromt end taking bumps?
