Can I cut my grill?
« on: June 30, 2006, 04:30:47 PM »
Hello,

Got me dad to make me up a winch plate, spent all day bodging it to fit, go to mount the 8274...fouling on the grill..air very blue!!!

if I cut the grill will this have any strucural effect on the front of the TJ?
Need to cut out  the shape of a 8274 into the grill. Thought about moving the plate forward but this will foul my new bumper and inpact on my approach angle

so if i cut will the front fall off!!!

cheers

Second hand 8274, but going to upgrade with xp motor and bowrope

Used a 8274 on my landy, excellent for challenges and that is what I ultimately want to get back to doing with the TJ

was thinking about a low level winch but I am familiar with the 8274 and it is easily serviced :twisted:
