i saw those shakle tabs. too much moola for my blood. I found a brush guard im going to build up with some plate and reinforce to hook a Dring too

Well you have your other jeep as a dedicated rig. This will be mine for travel/exploring so the price seemed worth it.

I did like the front reciever setup. I may copy it

I almost went with that but I'm thinking I would like to do a hidden winch behind the stock bumper one day. So I just went shackle tabs.

is that feasible?

My beef with the hidden winch is that its hidden. In actual use you need access to the drum.
If I copy the design ill probably put my winch in the spare tire mount and run front and rear QDs

I'm looking into it to see how feasible it will or won't be. I would love to save the weight over a full bumper. Time will tell.

Just like most WJ's my front coil buckets are rusted to crap and down right scary that I've driven with them since getting the jeep in November. However the lift is basically done.

One side came off with the spring! I'm guessing being 14/15 years old and living its life in NJ with heavy salted roads every winter did that to them.

Lift is done. Took a quick poser shot before I went food shopping. Minor trimming of front bumper will come soon.
