That looks like not metal winch line. Wouldn't it be a lot more prone to tearing? Why not use a roller fairlead? No worries of tearing!

Synthetic is 5.5 lbs versus 19lbs for steel and has a 10k lb weight on it as well...I have sleeves on the first 8 feet of the rope and last 6 feet for abrasion resistance plus I have another that of I'm in a nasty rock pile I can put it over the line to protect it...which I'd do on steel as the cables fray and grind as well...

Replaced the OEM Fog Lights (one finally burnt out) with new Nokya Hyper Yellow Halogens. Swap out was pretty easy except that neither bulb wanted to fit in the left housing. The registration tabs didn't line up, but both bulbs fit easily in the right housing.
A quick trim with a razor blade was all it took.

Also swapped out the old chrome Jeep grill emblem for a new sating black one from MOPAR;
