Rockrover winch bumper

Warn 9.5ti winch installed.

Tire Carrier, jerry can holder, and hilift jack mount. This came to me with the rear tire mounted on the spare, but I really didn't like the look and it made access to the spare challenging. Relocating the license plate below the spare works well, and I have plans to add a high brake light above the fuel can mount.

Tire carrier swings away nicely, and locks into closed and various open positions.

This is the waterfall climb on the switchbacks approaching the base of Daniel. It's about a 3.5 foot ledge, and the P38 breakover angle will not let it by.

Closeup of the new rockrover bumper blade. This dramatically changes the approach angle!

Just about high centered... I tried this a number of different ways, but the 100" wheelbase and 31" tires were just not up to it.

So I get to use the winch... which set the stage for my next project, the dual battery box...

Clear, and on the way up to Daniel. This was the only winch spot for the day.
