Installed a 1-1/2" Terraflex Leveling Kit after adding the OEM steel bumper and winch. Was perfect leaving just a small amount or rake to offset cargo loads. Added a pair of Ironman 5" Universal LED lights. These are really well built combo lights with a 6500 lumen rating connected to Aux 1...

I ran with a Smittybilt X2O G3 and Grimm winch plate. The Maximus 3 closer plates were a very easy install. The grill does not need to be removed to install these. I had it off to run wires for some Ironman lights being installed at the same time. With the grill off it looked like the...

I'll be installing the Maximus 3 later today on my Rubi. I didn't find any other options when I was looking around. It seems like a decent enough option. I'll post a follow-up after installation

OEM steel bumper and Smittybilt X20 Gen 3 Winch Install

Another 3M #303 fan here. This is a marine grade product so I suspect it is pretty good on preventing UV damage.

Our campsite behind enemy lines in Kalifornia east of the Salton Sea in the Chocolate Mountains.

I don't think I'll be needing these for my set-up. I'd be glad to give these to you if you would like them. They looked about a 1/4" thick but I can mic them if needed.

No, the bumper spacers are a square shape each with 4 holes that match the 4 bolts to secure the bumper to the frame rails. The Grimm winch mounting plate I received had two of these in the kit. The hole spacing matches the winch mounting pattern in the narrow sides.

Grimm includes a couple of them with their plates. Appear to be 1/4".

After finding a new take-off factory steel bumper & skid plate and waiting 2 months for Grimm to ship their winch mounting plate the winch install project is finished. I went with the Smittybilt X2O G3 over the HF Badlands I had been considering. For $50 more I got a smaller (albeit heavier...

Temps went from 211-212-213 (average) to 187-188 (average) for daily driving. Recently hauled my 16-ft trailer full of camping gear and two 4-wheelers from OK to Kalifornia and the temps were only slightly elevated. Running MOPAR brand fluid

My temps dropped 20+ degrees using this pan. Also installed the one for engine oil with similar results. Couldn't be happier.

It's my understanding the rear mounting holes are slightly different. I've seen reference to enlarging the holes into an oblong shape allows the plate to be remounted. As soon as my Grimm winch plate arrives I'll know for sure. I found a brand new steel take-off bumper that came with a skid...

Thanks for the heads-up. Will definitely keep an eye on it. Shouldn't be a big deal to switch to the Warn relay if needed. Now if Grimm will just ship their winch plate I can finish the install.

Don't want to unlock and open the hood, then reverse the hassle, when I want to use the winch. That was the point of going this route. I'm lazy.

Completed the under hood electric prep for the new winch and thought I'd share my installation for others. I wasn't at all interested in a manual rotary switch that would require me to unlock and open the hood so I decided to go this route using a 500 amp relay and one of the factory aux...

My first self made knife. Ironwood handle material sourced from an ATV ride in the Sonoran Desert next to a 20mm round found in the same area.

I installed the PPE transmission pan and it dropped the temperature about 18 degrees on average. For the most part my tranny temperature runs below 200 degrees consistantly. Also installed the PPE engine oil pan and experienced similar results. 2023 Rubi

Found a brand new take-off on FB Marketplace for $800. I like the original OEM look although Westin has a pretty nice front and rear bumper that I thought looked nice.
