My wife has boxes of "keepsakes and stuff to go through" from as far back as high school. We moved them from her rental house to mine when we got married, took them from the first house to the second in Ohio, and then from Ohio to here. We've been married 20 years now.
(For gawd's sake, I hope she doesn't see this!)

Clarification from PM question. Bounties I was referring to was on local politicians, police, judges, lawyers\prosecutors, journalists and some religious leaders. It all started with Escobar.

Good Deal! The siping on them isnt just surface level so they might be good in the snow. We dont get any of the white stuff here so I have nothing to go on LOL. Mine seem to spin a little when you have that slick layer of mud on top but when I need them to dig and push that skinny pedal they havent failed to pull me out. Still ride pretty quiet too so I can say I am happy with them so far.

Yea, Casey has the permanent mount winch. Matt has a 3500 on the trailer. That's not going to pull him up a mountain of sand. I think you at least need a 8000 lb for that, - there's some math involved there.... a 13,000 lb is a beast. I'm really not sure how heavy a worth a shii detectable would be ...60 lbs? I know it's doable. I know I'd want duel batteries, either Odyssey's , Brailies or XS batterries under the hood. Something w/plenty of reserve and short replenish times.
Anyway, -Fordguy mentioned Matts biggest complaint about winches, the extra weight. That's correct. His XJ is about 1000 lbs heavier than stock as is, -he scaled it in one of his vids. Original weight is something like 3400 and he's 4400/4600 with his add-ons.

He's been at the bottom a few times where the only way to go is up, but he makes out...barley. He's just lucky on some of those lol.

He keeps doin this "My/A mechanic said" thing. Bugs me, I know that's BS. The link I posted has him admitting that he really doesn't have a mechanic yet...after all that BS. I guess that just bugged me.

Dang...so White has a dark side.

I'll have to check that one out. I took next week off to work on the 88, but I am hoping to get some family time/move time in too!

Happy July 4th to everyone. I hope all are doing well and no one has any of this virus. Two of my friends have it now. One in Alabama and one in the valley I just spent the past 6 days up north, so it's nice to be home. LOL.

Whitey, you have that poor thing all apart. If it was alive, it would be thinking that a human cancer hit it. It's losing parts like it's got leprosy, lol. It will be nice once everything is reattached and refreshed though.

I checked the box when I went up north, but my buddy moved stuff all around, so I'll go back up this week and check, now that he's located it. Speedo and dash pieces mostly he said, but there are things he's not sure of. I'll let you know.
