Okay so today I installed my new skid plate. Next I went to 4wheel parts and went all out.
I bought a NEW Optima yellow top battery. I had my last one die about 6 months ago. So i bought another Optima craigslist special for $20. I knew it wouldn't last to long. So around 6 months it died.

Next I bought a winch. 8,000LB. http://www.4wheelparts.com/Winches-W..._pn=S%2fB97281
They were out of stock so it should be here in a day or 2.

The last thing was from Checkers or I should say O'Reillys. A Bulldog Remote starter/ Alarm with key-less entry. My current one is dying. First the remote starter was not acting right. Next the door unlock wouldn't work. So it was time for another.

I will go to Harbor freight and buy a hitch mount for the winch. That is why I made the front hitch by the way. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=66409

I bought 15ft of OO wire to power up the winch in the rear. I also already had 3 gauge wire run to the back for the small hidden winch I had.

Yup it was. The reciever stayed where it was and the winch and half the mount didnt. It wasnt my setup, but I was the anchor for the event. I would gusset the mount from below off the reciever tube if they havent already. It was at a slight angle and just tore it in half.
Ill post up the process as soon as I get a chance to get to a pick and pull for the york compressor I need.
