Glad I could help Scottie. That bumper looks freakin sweet! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> I took off those tow points on the front tho, i didnt want anything getting hung up on them. I just keep it tight on the fairleads. Also, you have any rubbing issues on the inside of the ARB closest to the wheel. I trimmed this down in fear it would cut the tire if stuffed and turned the wrong way. You might want to consider moving it up 1/2 inch, but a little hard to do one the holes have been done. Keep an eye on it
Curtis, his bumper is a Gen II.5 bumper or just newer. Notice the curved bars near the corners. But even that bumper like Curtis mentioned can be modified to fit a Gen I too, will be a little wider than the Gen I, but it can work. Let us know how the winch goes for ya. And def post some pics of the remote. This can be done with a Warn winch, right?

Looks good scott. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> I showed the pictures to dad and he said that the pictures probably don't do a justice and that he can't want to see it in person.
Enjoy the ride and keep her safe. No more tippy situations.

I didn't notice any spots that had me worried about rubbing, but then again, I didn't really look that hard either. I will keep it in mind and when I test her out I will check the tire clearance.
As for the remote for the winch, warn winches I hear are easy to wire up an in cab switch b/c their control boxes can be taken apart easily and they don't use circuit boards like the Milemarker does. I have come accross some literature from others that have performed this mod in great detail on the web, mainly jeepers who did it. Bretwalda also did it to his winch as well. the milemarker control box not only has circuit boards in both the remote and the control box, but they also pop-rivet the box together so you can't take it apart.......well I just drilled out the rivets and put in stainless steel self tapping screws <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" /> so I could check it out inside. I am almost sure that I voided my warrenty by doing this, but I don't care since I can repair it on my own accord as well. I will try to take pics of how I do it to this milemarker with circuit boards involved, but it can be done I assure you.

That was the original plan, but it ain't going to happen now. I just got word a few days ago that the BDE CDR wants me up in Headquarters working for him, and they are deploying to camp victory in less than 2 months. I have a bunch of personal things I need to square away with the wife and getting her ready for 15 months of being by herself not to mention spending as much time with her and the rest of my family before I depart. If there is something going on in September I may be able to make it right before I leave, but otherwise, it won't be until I get back from Iraq. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" />
