Thanks wade, that is pretty sweet. I wonder if he could modify it a little to suite me best?
Does the factory bumper slip right over that?

Not sure on the bumper. I am finally going to do something different. My bumper is cracked.
This one should fit yours.

I think I will hold off and wait and see how yours turns out. When do you think you will install it?
What's the laugh for? Is it already on?

Im sorry about your dad. But missouri has quite a few decent places to wheel. Might even be able to spend time on the trails if he feels up to it. Best of luck.

Not for a while. Jimmy's not even running. Dumped it off in the yard last night. No way to move it.
Well what are you doing online then? 
I really like that cradle, If the factory bumper would slip over it I would be set. It also mounts to the factory 4wd cross member locations. I have the 2wd member still. I envisioned running a cooler across the bottom of that today.
With the Jimmy balanced already, you don't want the extra weight over the front axle. No need to waste another 10bolt, just package it up and send it over.

It only weighs 20lbs or so. I will add a couple of cases of beer to the back.
Just don't let everyone know.. I think you might be running shy every once in awhile if you do.
You got me thinking way to hard about that mount now... Wonder if he could just cut off the 2 back mounting holes for the 2wd member...

I will try to mess with it this weekend. So I don't leave you hanging.
No worries if you can't get it this weekend. I got plenty of things I can work around to pass time.
Asked TnA a few questions about the winch cradle.
Sense my rear forward hangers are 2 inches shorter then factory 4wd's would that mess with my shackle angle any? I would assume it would pull it forward but I could be wrong? I'm thinking that is why I have such a horrible angle.

What's the angle at?
It is a touch forward if not vertical
Is the flip on backwards?
