    Do you happen to have an extra one for the '96 laying around? I literally did the same thing as you with the 98' lol. Such a pain

    Finally got aloud to the winch install and low and behold everything was a challenge. The fairlead bolts were too wide to fit. Got smaller ones. The fairlead almost doesn’t clear the top bar…

    drop the winch on to bolt up and the winch doesn’t sit forward enough to bolt on.

    template and some painters tape and a metal punch later

    Just look for the part numbers. There’s a ton of suppliers. I can’t remember them anymore but you can dig for them

    Hey @Noob95.5,

    How are you enjoying the LP6? What are your future goals with the rig? Any plans to add more lighting on the rig?

    Best,
    Bill
