looks good mate, sliders look good on it. They make the b/bar a pia, be nice if it was a simple job

 

[user 12270]

I haven't used it yet either, seems ok at the moment though the free spool sucks. Only had it on for just over a week, haven't had a chance to get out yet to try it out. Let us know how you go with it.

Other than the free spool, it doesn't seem to be a bad winch.

Are you just running a standard lift to fit the tyres in? I am looking at getting some 285/75/16 . No clue on which to go for. Would be awesome if can let us know what rims and offset you decide to go for, as I am confused on what offset to get
