no offense, but do you even know where teraflex or the other companies make the snatch, block, tow hooks, etc??
how do you know its from the same company?
I have a set of mastercraft ratchet straps for towing my JK, they simply have a mastercraft logo on them. I guarantee they are made by the same company that makes every other trucker ratchet strap. Theres nothing special about them.

BTW, I didn't mention ratchet straps. Those look generic enough to not give a shit about name brand.

Brendan, didn't know you didn't have a front diff cover. Saw your Superlift from the rear, thought you had one up front too. Had I known, I would've warned otherwise. My bad.

Yea its cool can't do anything about it. I need a front and rear full cover anyway lol. Joe actually won the rear cover for me in a raffle at the topless for tata's run. Its not a full cover just like a cage but it has taken some hits and done its job and for free 
after christmas and tax money I should be all armored up with diff covers and rock rails.

Ok so I also decided on wheels.
I'm going with the Black Rock Series 950 Lobo Steel Rims in matte black.
My two size options are:
1) 16x7 w/4.0 backspacing
2) 16x8 w 5.0 backspacing
I don't know a lot about this but I want as wide a tire as possible but I don't like it when you have a large hub cover. What do you guys recommend given my preferences? I'd like to order these on Monday. Thanks.
Dimitri, why do you think my winch sounded 'off'?

What do you mean when you say "hub cover"? I'd stick to the 4" BS, it'll bring your tire outboard and you won't have clearance issues running a 12.5" wide tire. If possible, get a 3.75" BS, even better, like mine.
Any preference as to why you're getting 16" rims? Why not go to a 15"? Joe, Brendan, and myself are running 15s. CHEAPER TIRES!! Priced out my MT/R Kevlar for a 15" and 16" rim, the 16s came out to be $325 more than the 15s. Bought my Cragars for $200, still $125 above.
As for the winch, doubt anything's wrong. It's a new winch and it had no problem pulling. Just don't like how the motor sounds under load. Instead of having a 'normal' motor noise under load, it was screaching/ratcheting. Maybe see if any other owners of the XRC10 have any sound clips or video clips, compare the 2.
