His TCFS attitude won't let him have a mismatched set. If he just realized he would ruin the rest of them in short order, it wouldn't be mismatched for long. :flipoff2:
Yes and yes... So yes, I guess I have cut a bunch. I was able to repair one (it's my spare now)Quote:

Forgot to mention that dad mocked up the m12000 on the front and said it was a no go. Ended up being too big to mount on the bumper so I'm looking at other options. Thinking xd9000i or m8000.
Ah - yeah.... those dudes are big - regular 8000~9000# winches are tight fits on Jeeps...Quote:

I have a 9.5XP Warn and wouldn't go any other way, would be a good fit on the front of a Jeep :gigem:
i have that 12000 lb mile marker that i won up in clayton and it fits in the same winch mount that i had my 8500 ramsy on.
are the warns just that much bigger?
Yeah, the body on the M12000 I believe is the same footprint as the M15000. It's a big *****.
I'm 90% sure the M12000 and M15000 are identical, just with different cable. They have the same HP and gear ratio, the 12000 has 125' of 3/8" cable and the 15000 has 100' of 1/2" cable IIRC. My 12k fits Pigpen just fine :gigem:Quote:

sweet - you paying your dad or something:D
Looks like he's making some pretty good progress, might not let you drive it now...
Stopped by Bill's around noon today to see how the paint was coming. Should be laying the blue down right now. They did a great job on the body work, used flat stock on the upper portion of the body line and solid round stock around the fender lip. They also finished the interior bedsides, used fiberglass to fill in certain areas around the cage. The whole interior of the tub is getting bedlined.
