Florida Roll Call!

Nice!!

That’s the exact setup I want but I want to reuse my black hooks instead.

Where did you score the bumper?

I ended up buying the bumper at the dealership. didn't see anywhere cheaper. you may find a used one cheaper but I don't know. the bumper comes by itself and you use the existing flange nuts on your current bumper. The steel skid plate will come with the steel skid plate mounting brackets. about $1400. Winch and winch plate cost me about another$1500 and I got a steel cable.

Highly recommended this liquid shine armor liquid wax. Leaves the car super shiny after a nice wash.

@Roky I love the new pic. If the jeep isn't on the trail. That is its second home. Every now and then I do 3 fill ups in the same day.

Wow! I hope everyone is using the Getupside app when you gas up! Great little app that gives you cash back for using participating stations (and there's a lot of them!).
Not trying to troll here, but if any of you download the app from my referral link, the first time you use it to get gas you'll get 20 cents PER GALLON cash back! Like I mentioned, it's a wonderful app and a great way to get a little something back. Since I've had Stormie, I've gotten 20 bucks back. They give you a several ways to cash out (PayPal, a check or your choice of a ton of gift cards).
Here's the link if anyone is interested: https://upside.app.link/2KVPR
After your first gas up, you'll see different stations will be giving different offers (amounts) of cash back. And you always want to "claim" the offer BEFORE you pump.
Again, my intention here isn't to troll my referral link, I just want to share a good deal. You can easily download the app without using my link, but you just won't get the 20 cents per gallon. And with the prices the way they are now, every little bit helps.

If that's a Zeon 8k winch with steel cable, I can do that for $1k...just a reminder.

Nice Rims, what are they?

Nope, it is the Warn Zeon 10 winch with steel cable. I also put on the steel skid plate

Thank you, they are by Twisted Off-road Wheels. I think they are from the Tampa area.

I finished doing the DIY 'Winch Delete' mod on my new Rugged Ridge Arcus front bumper. I wanted to hide the fairlead opening as well as the big void in the top where a winch would go. I might eventually install a winch, but this set-up will work for me for the time being.

The top plate is a piece of 1/8" thick ABS plastic. I didn't want to drill holes through the powder coating (I suppose it wouldn't have been a big deal, but I avoided it nonetheless), so I came up with a way to use the existing over rider holes to fasten the sides, and spring loaded aluminum straps for the front. 1/4" thick material probably would have worked better, but since this is in an area that 'shouldn't' see too much action, I think it will be okay. ..and it's not like I have a fortune invested.

Had use ratchet strap on one side to get the bolt in, otherwise pretty simple.....
