Finally! I know it's not a Warn and that I will be doomed to catastrophic failure, but it's better than nothing at this point. grin

thumbs-upI ended up doing the side mount of the control box because center mount hit the grill with my bumper. I actually like the side mount better now that I see it.

Only choices are standard cable or the dark gray synthetic rope with their "Comp" series. I'll be entering lots of competitions now! silly

Yeah, the ones on 4wd.com were in the $40 plus range and will still likely wear and fade.

I consider it a disposable item. It will wear and fade in a few years, then I'll get another one for $10. That's the plan, anyways.grin

I agree.  Mine was 22 bucks on eBay.   Cheap protection for your rope.

It's been a while since I've added something new. My bare Jeep has some new decals.
