Heck with bumper and winch, I liked the 13 lbs of prime rib on the BBQ! Now that's roughing it. When and where is your next trip?

Great looking addition Jeff! Did you fab that yourself? I bet you get better air flow and run cooler.

Jeff,

I'm really interested in how the fender vents work for you. Is there much air flow through the vents at a standstill with the engine running? Is there enough open space from the engine compartment to the fender to allow much air flow?

Tube bumper

Jage

How did you do that? Thanks, now the guys can see what Ive been up too.

I guess I can upload pictures of my dual shock set up front to my gallery...
Herb
Did you see the picture of the fan in the hood? That baby really sucks the hot air out. The vents on the side don't seem to let much air out. But they look cool!!!

Ya, nothing like a little prime rib. It's all part of the fun. Check out the Moab camping pictures.

A friend of mine is a fabricator.Part of the bumper is chrome molly.

Jage, thanks again for putting the gallery up.


Jeff

Tube bumper

I did the tube bumper for less weight and better air flow. I've got 5 inches of up travel.( I'll put some pictures of the dual shocks up on my gallery)

I also went to a smaller winch ( 10000lbs Husky) for less weight.

AND I unhooked the tract bar.(not the sway bar) The van absorbs bumps way better now..
