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...
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...

Well, I took the plunge on a new 2023 JT Rubicon in firecracker red. I’ve been watching the prices of JT’s for a while and when this one got discounted $21,500 off list I decided it was time to act. Except for not having the cold weather package it offered everything I would have chosen in a...
