Rear arms:

[attachment=2]

nice looking rear arms would like some long arms for the WJ once i am back in work or a clayton copy kit for my 4+ inch lift.

All this talk about electric winches and from what i can see the Giggle Pin are fairly costly. Would a hydraulic winch not be the best to run in a competition event as water etc is not such a problem. Or is that a different class please excuse my ignorance but i am curious on the pros and cons..

Great build and only just across the water from me.

class would be the same, there are a few considerations to account for on hydraulic,

1) If you have a dead engine you have no winch
2) they are strong and will pull and pull and pull, not indicating any sign of weakness until something catastrophically snaps, at least with a leccy motor you will hear it slowing up.

It's all horses for courses really

You going to fish tail that chassis weld?

judging by the angle of what goes where I'm guessing (but will check later) fish tailing or puddle welding isn't an option, lets hope that weld is strong enough.......time will tell

wildwood · « **Reply #305 on:** June 13, 2012, 11:20:02 AM »

Fishtailed and Rossette welded all my chassis joints or extension.......cos I didn't know how strong strong is........

but when you look at the factory welds you realize........ No worries

Always best to err on overkill

The back of a TJ is not so critical since all the suspension is up forward. If something does happen a quick spectator maybe able to make off with a new to them winch if they are fast!
