la0d0g's rig

sickest set up ever.

 

Thanks!

It was. We should try and put together a northern NV trail ride sometime.

Thanks. Never ending work in progress.

 

I think this is a great idea.

Pics look awesome. That place is definitely on my "to do" list.

 

Here are a few more pics that Eric posted up.

 

7th pic down you can see the driver rear off the ground 6-12"... thats where you drug the diff across the rock thats in the pic above it.

 

Yep, totally. I was chuckling when I saw that, like "that's the one right there"

 

Sick! Do you still have your sway bar?

 

From the front page

"- Disappearing swaybar mod"

 

Yup, I just saw that.

 

What tool did you use for cutting the wheel openings?

 

I think he may have gone the slow and steady way with a Dremel, but an air cutoff tool, body saw, or small angle grinder gets the job done too. Depends what tool you're comfortable with and what you have available.

 

I just did mine about a month ago...I used a jig saw with a sheet metal blade and it worked GREAT! It was extremely easy to control and very easy to get to the places needed. I think I had to use the grinder on the ends nearest the cab because the jig blade was hitting the cab

 

Thanks Eric and Linwood

 

As Eric said I used a dremel for most of it. Body chop saw for the parts next to the cab.

 

Did you get the M8000-S or the M8000 with a separate synthetic line purchase Matt?

Matt

 

M8000-S

 

Copy, thanks. Had any issues with it? Did you do any preventative maintenance before installing? I have seen some people who replace the factory grease (?) on other winches and other things before using it.

Matt

 

Its worked like a charm every time I've used it. As for pre-maintenance I didn't do any before I put it in. I figured (and this could definitely be naïve) that its a Warn, they've been around long enough to have their shit together and a system that they claim needs no additional lubrication is just that. I guess time will tell.

The two maintenance things I do do to it are cleaning the synthetic line and I make sure to run it once a month to get the juices flowing.

 

Ok thanks Matt, this is most likely the winch I will get so trying to gather as much reviews as possible. Rep sent your way...

Matt

 

Sweet looking rig!
