Hey...that stinger bumper looks familiar! Looks just like the one on my TJ. Oh wait...that's 'cuz it is!  ;D

Painted the winch mount today and I'll try to get the winch mounted tomorrow after dinner. Did I mention that I got a Warn M8000 with my '09 tax refund? Well, I got a Warn M8000 with my tax refund... ;D

Very nice! Looks pretty tough.

Now you have to re-spool that cable under some load. ;)

Nice work on posting the fine pics too.

Thanks again for the pic posting lesson, Charlie.

Thanks for the compliment...'preciate it!

I'll be doing the re-spool this weekend...my co-pilot (aka, my soon to be 16 year-old daughter) will help me with the task. Mike at Hoak's was adamant about making sure that I was aware of the re-spool thing.

Going back to Hoak's tomorrow after work to get a cover for the winch.

Nice meeting you at Hoak's Marty.

I had the track bar snugged up and I'm ready to go wheeling. Eric Hoak fixed me right up, as always I appreciate the expertise of Hoak's Four Wheel Drive Center.

Pulled the transmission and transfer case out of my Jeep only to find out the new transmission is 23 spline and my old one is 21 spline

Likewise Charlie...it was nice to meet you as well. Those guys at Hoak's are top-notch. I count on Mike to make sure that I have what I need for what I'm trying to accomplish. That can interpreted into this: Mike reaches DEEP into my wallet and yanks out anything that closely resembles money.  ;)

I re-spooled the winch, bought a snatch block and a tree saver. All I need to do is mount a "D" ring or two, and I'll be set...recovery-wise.

One of these days, I'll find myself with some FREE time on a Sunday so that I can go 'wheel.
