That's why I rarely wash my vehicle! And I usually ride deep enough in the mud that I get my pants muddy too, so nobody can tell the difference.

We already knew that but thanks for sharing!

You're always in deep s*** brother!

Have you been talking to my wife or my boss?

It needed some repair on the driver side rocker.

I have the same damage to passenger side nerf bar. Thanks for the pics on how you fixed it.

I seen snuffs heat shield and thought I'd try it. What little but I rode earlier it seemed to be better than the under seat only shield.

How difficult is it to remove the back of the seat?

How difficult is it to remove the back of the seat?

Five 10mm bolts and it slides right out.

 

[LarryAmboy]

The best things for heat was the foil bubble wrap from the seat all the way up the back of the seat, one 4" fan, and the PCV. Each of those individually helped a lot. All combined, there's not much heat at all except thru the dash.

PCV?

 

[joeymt33]

PCV?

Power Commander V brings the air to fuel ratio down where it's not running so lean and hot and that probably made the biggest change.

Got it.

I've been working on my next project just a little bit here and there. It's pretty much a copy of @CumminsPusher.

Here's a picture of my old front winch positioned in the rear of the vehicle.


Clearance from the muffler is tight...

 

[joeymt33]

After talking to CP, I decided to raise the muffler by "adjusting" the exhaust hangers.

It's alot better now...

 

[joeymt33]

Next was to clock the terminals so there's no clearance issues at the frame. I wasn't real sure what I was doing here as I've never done that before and I don't have any instructions. But I just took the motor off and turn the whole thing and put it back on

How did you get the brushes back over?

 

[joeymt33]

How did you get the brushes back over?

Three pairs of needle nose vise grip pliers and a lot of cussing!

 

[JTW]

Lol.. yup! I feel your pain!

 

[CumminsPusher]

Yep same thing especially the cussing! Looks good Joey!

I started making a bracket for the winch mount. I had some leftover angle iron from a previous project years ago and it is quarter inch thick which is quite a bit stronger than the winch plate that come with the winch. Not sure if this is the final version or not but it probably is.

So far I have only cut the metal to the shape I wanted and drilled the upper holes for the mounts.





It will mount on top of the hitch and use two of the rear suspension bolts.





I still have to make the lower mount. I will probably do what CP did and make it straddle the hitch and use a bolt instead of a hitch pin to hold the winch plate on and my hitch.

 

[joeymt33]

This is as far as I got yesterday. Hopefully I'll finish it up in the next few days.





Once I get the lower mount made, I'll put it in the sandblaster and clean it up and then depending on how I feel, I'll either powder coat it or rattle can it.

Then I still need to run the wires and mount the solenoid. This winch will only get a wireless remote for now.

After everything is finished, the first thing I'm gonna do is go out and test it. I will chain the front bumper to a tree and then hook the rear winch to another tree with the snatch block and see if I can stall the winch or rip them off. One of them will happen first and I got to find out before it fails in the woods.

I like it, too bad it won't fit with a factory muffler...I'd be all over that like a pack of dogs on a three legged cat.
I may just have to add the PCV, HMF, IGR, and 32's once its out of warranty.
YOU COST ME TOO MUCH MONEY!!!!

Are you wanting a longer wheelbase there has to be an easier way?

VIDEO VIDEO VIDEO that would be a good fail to have on video.
