Probably a good idea to have them.
One of our group had to change a hub on the Maze at Sand Hollow.
That's a better weak link than an axle.
What did Brown Santa show up with today..

That pic is what convinced me to grab a pair of them. :thumb:

I do but I didn't upgrade to their hubs

Gotcha. I was wondering if they were the same or not. I think when the warm hubs break they release and lock out in the open position. And chances of two breaking are probably slim to none. Probably no reason to carry both.

I wondered if the Dynatrac hubs were a simple swap-out but an unanswered email pushed me to just gab a pair of these as backup. You're right, I'll probably never have one of these break but I've been gathering brand specific and specialty parts to have on hand in case shit breaks. I hate not having backup parts handy.

Sweet - more winch line installation fun! Lol, that shitty looking little piece of wire they give you to pull the line through the hole in the drum works like a charm vs trying to poke/shove/swear the damn thing in when they first came out.
I couldn't believe how easy it was.

I hope so.
Good to hear. I also have to make sure and put the abrasion sleeve on BEFORE hooking the rope to the drum. I think I know someone who forgot that part, lol.

Nice choice! Love mine!... well, how it looks anyway... haven’t used it yet. Lol.. Fun install... don’t forget to slip the rope guard on before you install it in the drum... I forgot and there was no way that rope was coming back off. I ended up buying a velcro removable guard. [emoji849]

Sweet! Do you have the front steel bumper, I can’t remember? Or aftermarket? My 10s should be arriving today also.[emoji106]

Thanks. It's a great winch.
This is our 3rd one. If I fuck up the install, it's my own fault, lol. The rope attachment is a royal pain in the ass. I didn't realize they made a velcro guard. That's a great idea.
I bought Eddie and Cindy's Warn winch plate that they had on Jet Li prior to running their EVO bumper. I still need Drings and lights before I install all this stuff though.
Glad to see you're not wasting anytime with the build.

FYI Motobilt has D-ring mounts for about half the price of the EVO ones I bought, they're not as fancy of a shape and not powder coated but definitely worth a look if you are doing the no bumper look like they did on Jet-Li. They are listed for a JK but the bolt pattern is the same

I'm not a fan of Motobilt with what happened here years ago. And I'm going to stray away from their d rings. I don't think you were were around when that fiasco went down, lol:
