Wow. I was hoping we would both get our issues resolved. Sorry to hear about that. Yours is much worse of an issue than mine. Almost makes me feel my truck is a bit off as well. I already sent them an email.
Same. I really wanted both of you to be able to get past this frustration.

Figured it would be faster and easier to grind the holes in the mounting plate into an oval shape than try to get Warn to replace a used 2 year old winch that as far as I can tell works fine. The distance between the two sides of the winch is set by that top piece. I haven't messed with those bolts that bolt the top piece to the sides.
I thought it was new. Sorry. The top bolts don’t stop it from splaying out. But if it works who cares I guess.

Gave it some new shoes. My 2021 Overland has 67K on it and the original 255/70r18 Bridgestones were about done. Went in with a plan to get a little more aggressive and left with 275/65r18's. Still "street" tires but like the wider look and the fact that ride height is basically unchanged. Ride quality on the highway definitely improved.

Took advantage of MetalCloak's Labor Day sale and bought basically everything from my list to finish out my lift. Hit up Amazon for AEV 5100 Bilstein Shocks, Struts, and Steering Stabilizer ram, since the factory Rubicon Fox shocks have 63.5k miles on them and they're quite squishy and doing what they're supposed too.

I’m not worried about that. It’s already setup with a top mount. I just killed the joint on the current link, on the pitman end. Squeak squeak and lots of play. So with all the drag links to choose from, there aren’t many strong ones that aren’t jam nut style. And I really like the two piece design instead of three, along with their super low profile clamp.
Put a sideways pic of that link in here I am curious

Both are a "some day" for me........ still dealing with the sunrider. I carry extinguishers in my cars, should in the Jeeps as well since I like to be prepared, and many items aren't necessarily for myself.

I got lucky buying my sunrider used. I think bc its an older one, or maybe the jeep model im gonna need to install the front velcro so it'll tighten up.

Applied my newly acquired 4WD emblem from Gladius Offroad so that I could replace the last OE decal. He and his better half were at the GSMJI where I saw it and had to convince him to sell it to me. I learned it was a production run of 3 so good luck finding another one anytime soon unless you pester him enough.

Here you go. It’s really solid. I like that it’s only adjustable on the pitman end, and is solid forged for almost the entire length. No hollow dom.

I see thats why I have the track bar I got cause its solid forged. I could not tell from pics I have seen of those that they was solid forged. That is nice !!
