Nice GRAND. The rig looks like it articulates well. What winch mount are you running. It looks like a rough country winch mount? You did a good job cutting the stock bumper to fit. It looks like it was meant as stock. A full rig rundown with all questions answered that have been asked here in the comments would help all the ZJ Jeepers out there get an idea of the amount of effort and parts sourcing and install times and hangups you ran into. I mean lime the full details on type and size of sway bar end links, front AND rear amount. The amount, in inches, of bump stop used front and rear, and detailed tips on small parts and issues you ran into and overcame during lift and suspension upgrades. All the details would be really helpful to the Jeep ZJ community. Please and thank you in advance?

@mikez97992 жыл бұрын
@@unaffected_covid Hey Charles! If you search Home Depot for 1/2”x5ft EMT tubing, you will find the rod I used. I bought two of those. I cut a foot off of the tubing making it 4 ft. I then stuck one end of tube fully into transom mount and drilled a hole where there used to be a bolt going through. To secure the rod, I just use lynch pins for quick disconnect. The other end of the tube I just fed through the oar holder loop(the oar holders should come with the boat and you just screw them on by hand) and I drilled a hole just on the forward side of the oar holder loop and attached another lynch pin. I hope I answered your questions. Those rods and lynch pins were purchased from Home Depot. The lynch pin size is 1/4”x2”. It comes up as “zinc plated round head wire” for the item name from Everbilt. The inside diameter of tubing, I’m unsure of. I would measure but the boat is in a hard to get to spot at the moment since my Jeep is on jackstands in the garage and it’s like a construction zone in there right now. Good luck with your project!
