Looks much better IMO. And now the roller fits the bumper well too. Good looking FJ lonelycreeper

Agree with SLN. That bumper and plate really showcase the m8274. And helps bring more attention to the grill and headlights as well. Roller looks right at home there too. Love that bumper... looks super-stout.

Thank you SLN my only concern is how low the fairlead is, but I don't plan on doing anything hard core with this rig, so it should be okay...

Thank you Drifter
I have been trying to place this m8274 on every rig I own since I got it, and it is just too big for them, it finally looks right at home here. Bumper is 1/16" by 1/2" inside for edging plywood... I dont think it is overly big and clears everything with ease.

It's not a winch for just any vehicle... probably due to it's height and overall profile. But when it comes together on the right rig and bumper, it's the definition of aesthetic perfection. Looks like you're in the home stretch with this.. I look fwd to seeing it finished and out in the wild.

Thanks, yes I agree on the winch.

I need parts and am debating on driveshafts, thinking about SSD driveshafts, even put them in my cart on RPP. Waiting till next payday to hit the buy button. Mip are a little more money, but not as scale, and Wild boars are only a few dollars less. Sooooo..


Collected a motor and esc for this rig, and am debating again on which esc to use. I have a hobbywing 1080, and a 1060 both new in box. I am not intending this to be a real performance rig, so I am leaning 1060, and drop my 1080 into my Twin Hammers to match my wife's. I also have a Crawl master Sport 16t to go in.
