Not yet. I was thinking of burning on a couple D rings on the front of the winch plate tube. I know it'd be minimal, but I'd lose some approach angle by doing that, and I'd be bashing them into stuff.

I'll add something in the next couple weeks.
Just need a set of these, then use a bungee behind the stinger to hold them up outta the way when not in use.

I've thought about that, and my buddy has a couple he said I could have if I want em. I don't like the idea of a permanent D-ring though. I've got another idea that would work, just gotta see if anyone offers what I need in the size I want, etc.

The quarry was closed all weekend due to the W.E.ROCK competition which sucks, but the comp was pretty badass so I can't complain too much. I still found some rocks even though I couldn't wheel the quarry.

Campsite Saturday morn


JON! This guy stole your idea! I had to run over and take pics. He said it was an 86 IIRC. "Widened and heightened"




One section of the quarry


Nasty rigs




He attempted a bonus line


and ended on his lid








Steering 14 bolt (I'm pretty sure)


This was on the front of it, and why you need to spool the line onto the drum under load


rear facing engine


wheeled with this guy for a little bit. yota with a 4 banger and marlin boxes. like 280:1 crawl ratio. He said he built it for 40's, just waitin for these 33's to wear out before he buys new rubber. Pretty cool guy.


Saw a jeep break a heim that attached his upper link to his axle. It was nasty.



Oh yeah, I did some wheelin too. :D




And a couple poser pics for 4.0B2. I had to make an honest effort to take these lol. My wheeling has gotten to the point that the obstacles are too "hardcore" to shut my truck off, hop out, and snap pics mid climb.

Sucks about the quarry being closed. Would have liked to make the trip, but didn't get back to Peoria until late Thursday night, and ended up working most of the day friday due to some "Emergency" situations that came up during my trip.

That, and the heat.... lol
