I had to read through that twice to make sure I understood it, cause I haven't had my covfefe yet this morning.... Still in bed tbh....In case you really wanted to know....
The 24" slug barrel replaces the smoothbore 20 gauge (.61 caliber) shotgun barrel with a longer rifled (spiral grooved) barrel, which gives spin (thus accuracy) to a solid slug (rather than the load of pellets normally used in shotgun ammunition). Basically, the shotgun becomes a rifle, though with less range and accuracy than most modern rifles.
.61 caliber is slightly larger than the common rifles (.58 caliber) used in the American Civil War, 1861-1865. Gettysburg was a large battle in that war. The Mossberg shotgun is a pump action that holds five rounds (plus one in the chamber), which would have made it useful as hell 160 years ago against people with single-shot muzzle-loaders.
This setup is commonly used for hunting deer in a number of US states that prohibit hunting with high power rifles because of population density.
Mind providing a link for the bumper?i got a mid width steel bumper from lod. thw winch sits in. uses factory fog lights. shackle mounts and is looks great.
Might just have to go badlands then for my winch....I have a Badlands 12k winch mounted in my factory steel bumper...
Quite stealthy behind my lightbar.
Zeke simple.....Pew Pew. LOLI can sorta follow what he's saying, but it might as well be Greek to me more or less
Lol, that I can follow.Zeke simply.....Pew Pew. LOL
Here is the other parts needed for the install.Might just have to go badlands then for my winch....
Thanks!Here is the other parts needed for the install.
Maximus-3 JL Winch Mounting Plate
Tuffy Flip-up Fairlead Plate Mount (if front plate required)
Also note, if you go with the Badlands winch, I relocated the power leads to the side of the winch instead of the back. I used a step bit to drill the right size hole in the side of the top cover and ran the wires through that hole. I plugged the hole in the back of the winch. This was done to keep the wires from rubbing on the grill.
As an aside , any particular reason you're looking at 12k lb winch? Roughly 1.5x vehicle curb weight is usually what I've always heard recommended and even a 6k lb JLU would be easily supported by a 10k lb winch that may some some $$$.Might just have to go badlands then for my winch....
For me...the price was right. LOL I wanted synthetic rope and didn't want to break the budget. The Badlands fit the bill on every point. It being rated at 12k was just a bonus.As an aside , any particular reason you're looking at 12k lb winch?

Because if I do go out wheeling, I'll likely go out with my dad, who will inevitably be driving his ram hemi 1500... Potentially with a moose, elk, or a couple of deer loaded in the back. I'd rather be over and never need it than under in any case.As an aside , any particular reason you're looking at 12k lb winch?

Unless you actually have desire to know about such stuff, feel free to ignore.I had to read through that twice to make sure I understood it, cause I haven't had my covfefe yet this morning.... Still in bed tbh....
A 10k lb would pull that fine, particularly if you use a snatch block and chock the Jeep properly. Honestly, regardless of 10k/12k, you'll have to be careful about just dragging the Jeep to the Ram lol.Because if I do go out wheeling, I'll likely go out with my dad, who will inevitably be driving his ram hemi 1500...

Hmmm...speaking of which...I should probably pick up some chocks so that when I do winch, I can hold Roxy from being drug into whatever I am pulling on.

They're eagerly awaiting you...Lol, that I can follow.
On another note, feeling motivated and just done with what is the longest ever dry spell I've ever endured in my entire adult life, I am reluctantly taking the plunge into the tinder games again. If anyone is game to be a spectator and would enjoy some shadenfreude at my expense while I try tosufferendurecopedeal with the 28-44 year old men (cause the Bi & single lesbians in my area are scarce.....) who are within my local dating pool, feel free to let me know and I will post all the cringey profiles, with the hunting & pictures of men holding up fish, or whatever else I endure until I inevitably give up and delete the app again.
