Nice pics, I am glad to see that my welds aren't the only ones that look like that

As for the winch, a lot of the Zu guys here run the harbor freight winch, being as it is less than 350 bucks, and comes from the same factory as the smittybuilt and mile marker winches. They even go so far as to repaint, and rebadge em. I personally used one on a rubicon, I thought it was a Warn the whole time, he added the wireless remote. Pretty cool, then he told me it was a rebadged generic. Nice. 20% coupons are routinely in the Sunday paper, and in Popular Science. They also have a matching hitch tray for 40 bucks.
