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.

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.
