Sorry! I was mid download, when my connection crapped out on me. I was hoping to get stuck yesterday and get to try it out, but couldn't find anything to get stuck in! the runner just kept plowing through!

Show us a pic of where you mounted your control box. Here is where I put mine (picture here) Looks like we have the same bumber (TJM T-17) right?

mt_goat, I will try to snap a pic. I used my friend's digi. I have a real crappy mounting place for the control box.

mertztr, I got the milemarker e9000.

The marriage of the brushguard and winch bumper looks really clean. Nice job

What size tires, wheel width and backspacing are you running? I'm trying to figure out how my new setup will look when I get it installed. (I'm going with BFG Muds 33x12.5R15, 15x8 MT Classic II's with 3 5/16" BS)

Thanks (sorry for the hijack )

Thanks Cebby, I don't remember the back spacing or width, the tires are 33x12.50. What are the choices for rim width? It was the wider of the 2 main choices.

10" and 8" are typical widths. Thos seem to stick out a little - nasty fender coverage laws here in PA. Do you know which rim it is? (I can probably dig up the BS info with that)

Thanks again.

Yes it was the 10" I think. They are the American Racing "Atlas" wheels. They do stick out a lot, even the fender flairs don't cover the wheels. I guess we have more personal freedom here in Oklahoma when it comes to wheels and fenders anyway.

Those are some nice pics!
Of course, now that you're ready and adequately prepared for getting stuck - you never will.

Win-win, I guess
