Some might wonder why I keep so many spare parts. This is why:
Then (after a quick date with the cut of wheel and the wire brush attachment):
So now I'll bolt these up to the factory location (over the winch bracket), mock up the bumper, trim that bracket as-if needed, weld the pieces together and mod where the additional brackets that bolt to the front of the frame, too.
The point of all of this is to tuck the bumper up and in as close as I can get it. Once this is done, I'll fab up a skid plate for the winch to replace the one that did not come with this one. I'll also reinforce it to hold a roller fairlead and a recovery bracket to hold the cable. I also need a spot to mount the remote switch housing... Then I'll hook it up and test it out!
