    Put my gusseted spindles back on temporarily. And added a heavy duty ground from my battery. I was afraid of melting the stock dinky one from using the winch.

    I am golden... definitely aware of the TPMS crap. I'm a Service Advisor for luxury car group in NorCal. Used hot glue instead of right stuff. That way if it rips apart, it just comes off, doesnt damage any threads, TPMS sensors, or anything else. It's small and silly, but it's fun and I love shooting, and I had just broken in a new XD40 Subcompact in Olive Drab and had some shell casings I was gonna take to Load-X, but made a few sets of these for some friends.

    I like the way he gussets them. More strength while pulling...or pushing.

    there is a leather arm rest diy thread out there already. But the fabric doesn't matter. Leather, suede, or neoprene, the process is the same. And I would recommend contact cement over the spray. I tried the spray on mine and ended up having to redo it.

    if your scarred and did all that work, why not just run it to the frame for the best ground?


    Those make mine look like absolute poop.

    I actually just heard someone bent their stock bumper plates with the ungusseted side braces in Moab :spy: First person I have heard of achieving that feat

    He has upped his game significantly and the others who to this day still don;t offer a strap should follow his route. IMO any bumper without them is asking for trouble.

    I thought you made them they were so beefy. Thats one hell of a good job.
