Ok Arya here you go this is a little better :flipoff2: If I had an rti ramp I could probably do a little better but that is the best I can do with what I got. You guys have convinced me to get a locker first then long arm it later.

Early Christmas gift, its a Chicago Electric 10000lb winch, its nothing special but it gets the job done when needed. I still need to unspool it all the way, make sure the cable is bolted down and then rewind the cable tight.

Yea I made sure the bolts were tight when I got home and then I made sure all the bolts for the winch were grade 8.

They are the same bolts that came with the bumper when it was new so I assume they are all grade 8 but I will double check the first chance I get.

Did some work over the past couple months, now the jeep is running on a custom 5" lift, hack and tap rear driveshaft, TnT track bar and bracket, TnT upper control arms, Tom Wood's front driveshaft, a 4 degree shim on the rear axle to correct axle geometry, put on longer front brake lines, and replaced a blown up front hub

Dont want to spend the money for a locker for the chy 8.25, im saving up to get the other 3 tires new so they all match and then i will save the money to swap out the rear with an 8.8 or an 9" and then lock that :flipoff2:
