JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Default Superwinch installed

Waiting and waiting for this hole to get filled. I just got the Superwinch EPi 9.0 installed on the bumper and wired. I had to use longer bolts for the mount because I have 1/4" plate. I need to do some cutting on the bumper to install the roller fairlead. I am trying to finish the laminate floor in the bedroom right now. Gotta balance the honey do list with the Jeep. After I get the roller in I can rewind the wire. Can't wait to take it out and give it the real test. I think I will need to lift the front about 3/4" with a spacer because of the added weight. Edit : Roller installed 27th July see page 2.

Thanks! I got this from ...of all places Amazon. I would have bought it from Northridge 4x4 but they only carry Warn. I just didn't have the funds to get the Warn I wanted compared to this steal. ( $562 delivered) Features- 9,000 pulling power great sealed solenoid, 125ft wire, roller, and 20,000 lbs. snatch block you can't go wrong. This beast is heavy - at 112 lbs. it does drop the front end. The Warn 9.5xp was my 1st choice but at double the price I just couldn't do it. I am a weekend trail guy and not a hard core extreme trail boss. So I will put my money towards quality but appropriate levels of mods for my needs.

Pergo floor finished in the bedroom. Now back to the winch and that roller. The floor turned out great and the wife is happy with the install.

You are going to love the POWER of that winch when you get a chance to take her out on the trail. Sounds like you are being stretched pretty hard with that schedule.
