Thanks. I like the idea of synthetic (safer if it breaks and lighter weight) but I have a lot of rock up here and didn't want to take a chance on an unseen inadvertent rub and it break whenI really need it.
After watching a bunch of YT reviews on various winches, I decided to go with the Rough Country Pro12,000lbs winch with 3/8” steel cable instead of synthetic rope since most of where I’ll use it has a lot of rocks to rub on. Fit perfectly and just have to finish running 2awg to the aux battery.
Thanks everyone. I bought back in 1995 and it’s the only vehicle we have I can identify everything when I open the hood and can still work on. It’ll beat the fillings out of your teeth and with my busted up spine I don’t do much off roading anymore but it ain’t no pavement princess either.
I bought a bumper a couple of years ago but it needed some reinforcing to make it sturdier, so I cut down the old bumper and welded it along the back to support the front swept wings and replaced the zinc hardware with Grade 8. It has higher front ground clearance than the old one and I’m going...

Never been to one especially after a friend said ”Oh everybody stops and walks around Buc-ees.“ Don’t need to get an aggravated assault charge on my road trip.
2019 F-150 with 5.0 10spd tranny. Living in the mountains the transmission was constantly searching for a gear (upshift/downshift) until I installed an HP tuner and had my friend Tony load a custom tune. He bumped the horsepower up to 425 and changed the shift points and now it runs great...
I can see the retro in the front grill (69-72’) but not the rest of it with the inward sloping rear windows. Hope they have the plaid cloth seats as an option like the old ones.
I have a 74 Bronco I bought in 95’ that‘s my EDD (took it on the Hot Rod Power Tour last year) with a 302 HP, 3spd, carbureted, 9”rear end with Yukon axles, gears, Power Front Disc brakes, dual gas tanks etc. I upgraded to a run-ready distributor but kept the old distributor with wires, cap...
