Loving it. I have 6500 miles on it with no issues. Averaging 25.5 mpg (hand calculated) and have consumed a hair over 1/2 quart of oil.
Just installed a MOPAR lift this weekend with an added front track bar and a spicer center bearing spacer. Did not get the steering wheel quite centered...
21 Willys ... still stock. Last fill up at 3457 miles and all fill ups have been with winter blend fuel (bought it Nov 30). Hand calculated average of 25.4 MPG
I have always used some sort of disconnect - usually the Warn system or a generic 100% duty cycle solenoid. I have see three times now winch solenoids lock up and twice folks were hurt. Been installing this way since about ‘95
Actually, it is not. Fab Fours, like a lot of the aftermarket, sells through the big distributors. They ship in truckload quantities to the distributors who warehouse the product and in turn ship to the the shop or retailer or e-tailer that we all then buy from.

And by the way, you can see a lot of neat stuff in a stoker. Took my wife and stepson to see Gemini bridges in this beast last summer
We did have to replace a few filling when we got home 🤣
One of my favorite ... all day trips is a loop that starts at Onion Creek, goes up Hideout Canyon and on up towards Polar Mesa. You would have time to explore Polar Mesa then head generally South and follow Castleton-Gateway road. You can either follow that to Gateway CO and loop around or go...
Ha ... you're asking the finance guy :) .... but I checked and they are designed around any of the Rigid 3"x3" pods such as 202213 https://www.amazon.com/Rigid-Industries-202213-Light-Universal/dp/B074TWVKQN or 202113 https://www.amazon.com/Rigid-Industries-202113-Light-Universal/dp/B074TVQ4LQ/

The top plate of the bumper is solid with the exception of the four bolt holes for the winch feet. The winch plate is a...
The Fab Fours one you posted is not a Vengeance, it is the Matrix. Vengeance does not accept a winch (I know because I work here and we build them every day).
You might look at our Lifestyle bumper though .... The fairlead plate on this one is vertical vs the sloped one on the Matrix

The FME end makes routing it easier and the adapter that comes with it has minimal losses
I am a manufacturing CFO in the automotive aftermarket. I spent a lot of time in the forest products industry prior to that. With the exception of an Acura as a commuter car when I had an 80 mile one way commute, I have never owned a car. Jeeps, Land Cruisers, 3/4 and 1 ton diesel trucks ...
