    One thing I like about your videos is your sense of humor. LOL. Just a stupid thought of painting the bumper black truck bed liner to protect it. Yes, commenting as I was watching and it looks AWESOME and it does look better in red.

    What's up Uncle Dougle deanie in the garage. That winch bumper is ingenious. You should patent that and make $$$$$. Then you could buy a newer pos Jeep.

    Nice install. Very neat and budget friendly. Looks great. The only Jeep I have ever owned was a 2000 WJ bought new in Oct 99. Served me well hauling daughter back and forth to college among the normal daily and other chores. Had the QuadraDrive. Great in snow. From a styling/design perspective, it has stood the test of time IMHO. WD40 is also good for removing Sharpie marks.

  • @backtothebasics9366
    @backtothebasics9366 3 года назад +1

    Looks nice, I made my winch mount to the receiver. That way I can move it from the front or back of my jeep, with the option to chain it around a tree if needed. Or I can put it on anything with a 2" hitch. Keeps it portable and out of the weather

    I gotta learn to weld! Love watchin' ya work!

    Please for goodness sake keep you hand out of that cable. Carbs are hard to to rebuild missing fingers. I’m stoked to see the Romex gone. Wife was cracking up when I I was telling you NO when you measured your cut out wrong. Then the “did you see that “”popped up. I love when mess-ups work out so perfect. You did zip tie your fire starter solenoid down at least? Great vid the end product looks great! I dig the bolt to a screw trick. I hope I remember it. Send us to school and do the inside winch control again please.

  • @robertgrauman8602
    @robertgrauman8602 3 года назад +1

    Maybe if you pick up one of the old fold down license plate holders that covered the gas cap on the older cars, you could mount it upside down on the front to give you an access flap kinda thing. For me the only thing is I'm not a fan of chrome so the fairlead roller would bug me. It looks good though. Couple times I said, "You need lightning scissors" while you were cutting stuff up.

    The bolt marking 8.8 means class 8.8. the "class" system is for metric where "grades" are for standard bolts. Class 8.8 is roughly equivalent in strength to a grade 5

    That came out really nice Doug but do you have to take the license plate off to get to the hook ? Also I noticed you were welding without the nozzle on , was that on purpose ? Also was wondering if you weld with 115v or 220v ? Until next time take care and be safe .

    Winch Size: I'm trying to minimize size of my winch for my Renegade. You chose 5000 lb for a larger, heavier car. Also, must be permanent magnet. From what I see, minimum is 9500 winch for small to mid-size car. Please explain.

    Did you catch it before you cut it? I wondered why you took the depth mark from the top of the bench and not resting the angle on the tube. Nothing a little welding can't fix! Nope, you didn't catch it!
