My wife had a talk with me today regarding the jeep... Luckily it was about getting a new winch bumper for it. She likes the Tuff Stuff bumper and the JCR winch bumper that looks almost identical. I'm on a budget (credit card limits...lol) so I'm leaning towards the Tuff Stuff bumper. I'm not sure how I feel about how it mounts to the unibody. I don't want to regret the purchase.

Does anyone know any similar looking bumpers that have a better frame mount?

It is 2 separate plates. The idea is the bottom plate helps, what's the damn word im looking for, transfer the load of the bumper, in use, to that last bolt as well as the other bolts. Gun metal just said he's used his similar setup and it works. Personally i would rather have a full tie in bumper but that's just me

Gashed a tire, dented both rockers, lost the threaded Rod section of the boostwerks linkage somehow and wheeled the **** out of it.

Fixed the oil leaks
New oil pan gasket rear main seal and oil filter housing gaskits! No more leaks (at least oil). Noticed my fuel pump leaking and it's loud so that's gonna be new tomorrow!

So I figured I would start on my front seats. Just the passenger today. Does not require quite the rehabing that the driver's does. So separated the seat. Cleaned up the back and put on the Coverking Rhinohide seat cover. Gotta tell ya. Not disappointed. Think it will even fit a bit better after some time. Gotta clean the bottom good and do the same. POR 15'ing the metal where the seat attaches too.

Replace drivers door harness
Replaced the drivers door harness , original owner tried to fix it already . I was tired of Windows only working when I wiggled the harness . I found a used harness on eBay for $20 with no broken wires .
