Jim called the family out today, he wants to get this rig ready for a weekend crawl fest that is coming up.
Jims Dad went to work on the brand new micro winch control unit while Rick and Jim continued progress on the bumper.
Jim used the spring loaded center punch to mark some holes for the bumper mounts.
After I drilled the holes they picked out some hardware.
(Jim) Perfect size bolt Rick
They then began to discuss the winch fairlead.
After Jim explained to me exactly what they wanted, I machined one from a scrap I found.
After I welded the winch plate and fairlead mount on they went to work mocking it up.
More later...
Possibly later tonight...
