Owning a CJ is for manly men, they allows you to do manly stuff like auto mechanics and welding and drinking beer. Manly men own CJs. Manly men do not drive hummers, they receive them.

I grabbed a quick pic tonight when I got home. I haven't trimmed the fenders yet so it looks a little funny.

Just need to fab you up a couple of bars.  It would be a good idea to add a little support to the front of the winch plate.  Roger and I talked about adding his winch plate, and I recommended trimming the front grill a little to set it back an inch or two.  It not only protects it better, but will put less torque on the bumper (shorter lever arm when winching).  I know he still wants to add a few light tabs to it too.  We just ran out of time after two days.

Yeah there is so much I'd like to do. I may consider cutting into my bumper and recessing my winch plate. Just don't have the time or tools/money to do it right now. Bars would be great though. I have some ideas for both. It was a good time coming out and working with you guys a bit. Looking forward to doing it again in the near future
