X2, I'd like to see how the instrument panel looks now.

That is "Lower Forty" in the video. Pretty sure it was the first to stuff 40s underneath a JK with minimal or no lift. I have seen is in person and much like Rockster it is a great custom rig. Any similarities are entirely due to the "cookie cutter" factor. :D:D:D

I noticed a few pics from the PA Jeeps show! It was awesome to see the rig in person there!

To RK, probably the closest thing to a sandbox on the East Coast would be hitting the beach in the Outer Banks. It is pretty flat though.

Winch setup

I know this thread is a little dated, and maybe I missed it somewhere as I'm a picture book kinda guy, but are there any pics of how the winch is setup on this rig? I'm wanting to run the pro-crawler bumpers, but I would like to see how the winch is setup.



Thanks,
Floyd
