    Looked up the torque spec on the elocker 3rd to housing nuts. Says 18 ft pounds. That seems REALLY light to me.

    I finished fabbing my off road bumper and installing the badlands 12000 lb winch, also wiring in some off road lighting. I wired it all into a rocker switch panel that fit perfectly in front of my cup holders. I also put in some footwell lights that I wired into my ignition fuse but am now thinking I want to wire that into one of my rocker switches.

    Added a Plano 68qt box to the back bench for storage. Secured it by making 2 slits on the bottom of the box running a strap underneath the bench between the two storage compartments. Also attached some non-slip pads to the bottom to help keep from sliding on the carpet. Still need to road test with tight turns and sudden breaking.
