Relocated the power for the badlands winch to the side and got it on my bumper.

Nice to be able to print your own solutions. Don't have that capability............ however -
That's why I like my assortment of "hole-less grommets". They are basically blanks. Great for filling holes.

I also moved mine to the side.
I still need to get it reinstalled on my new Jeep once some dust settles from other stuff.

No pics bc it was dark when complete and was trying to hurry up. But I took apart the rear interior to get to above the rear body mount that spun the weld off the nut when installing my first set of side steps 9 months ago. Once gained access drilled a whole with a long ass drill bit up from the bottom to find its location then step bit to make it big and wide to fit new nut and socket. And finally got the body bolt reinstalled along with the rear mount for my RSE steps.

Also installed my JCR rear inner fender flares.

Finally packed it out for my trip to Moab starting tomorrow.

That’ sounds awful. So sorry. But Moab! Yeah! How far will you get today?

Sounds like a pain. This is what's kept me from doing anything with my rock sliders. 😬

I added some Harbor Freight RoadShock Edge 6 lights onto my Mopar winch guard with the Mopar brackets. The new lights are not difficult to install with the harness from HF, with some helpful modifications from this post below. The harness was shortened by 6+ feet, but very neat and organized. Heat shrunk all the connections and mounted the relay underneath my winch cutoff switch mount. Success. I'll aim them later tonight.

Can I please see a closer shot of the rod holders with rods? I’ve been trying to figure out how I want to do that.

BTW - not making fun, I think they are fine and cool. I want to leave the front of mine wide open, but they look great.

I will take some pictures of the rods in the rack tomorrow, those rod racks were made buy an unfortunately deceased machinist out on Montauk NY, I have had those for over 20 years. The websit is still up- Rack A Rod. I will Never get rid of those rod racks!

Now I’m even more curious. I love stuff that keeps working over decades.
