Family Truckster LJ build

[ridered3]

Finally got to rebuild the winch. Corrosion in the drum/bushing on the idler end was the problem. It's an easy job if you don't forget parts/put parts in backwards making it take twice as long as necessary. lol. I also added the new Warn contactor control box as well. Hopefully can get it back on the Jeep and the new rope on in the next few days.

Definitely maybe...

That's the only way to learn sometimes.

Experience taught you that, makes you sound like you knew what you were doing.

Precisely.

Got the winch on the Jeep and the rope spooled on and tensioned. I had some extra help in the shop today making sure I did it right.

@hokie_yj winch looks good and always good to have little hands around when installing a big winch!
