You should clean that winch really good and put it back together as is. You could build a receiver mount for it and use it for the rear. For the front Quadratec has a pretty cheap winch you may like. Also you may want to get a bigger winch for those 40s. Bigger tires/ bigger ruts=bigger drag which means you’re pushing the limits of that 8000.
Rusty 411 I’m trying to find out what a skyjacker shock part number comes out to. Think you can help? Part number is: H7055S. Front shocks on a 99’ grand Cherokee. New shocks, but ride rough as all get out. Thinking they were designed for more than the 2”-3”’lift the Jeep has. I can’t seem to find anything telling me what they were designed for. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Just installed one of these on my new JL Rubi today. I watched this video just to get a better idea of what the guts looked like. Appreciate the video.
+PeteDriver Jeff Digman that's a good idea we will see I'm gonna start on it the weekend kinda want it stuffed under the rear may pull it back down and put some more grease to seal it up better thanks for the input that is a good idea
When you pulled it apart, I noticed your brake assembly was is not correctly put together (probably from a previous rebuild/repair) See the attached video for reference to the brake assembly and how to properly pull it apart and put it back together. th-cam.com/video/CyYs-oKlxUE/w-d-xo.html (at about the 3:50 mark) - see the rest of the series for a super great step by step rebuild..
eastwood has a affordable powdercoat oven and gun set on there site b great 4 the small stuff on your jeep plus last a long time

Lazar Kentera im.uploading the the video now pitting it all back together fresh and clean
Rusty 411 Thank you, sir! Much Respect!
The inside of that winch looks like it's built the same as the badlands winch. I wonder why the prices are so different?
I would just buy a new one for front and rebuild that one for rear....
+Robert Wilbert I am gonna do just that I got a video coming tonight build back
Rusty 411 i have a 99 2-door lifted a total of 8.5" on 33 mtz...
100% silicon caulk will seal it up good.
Mount it on a 2" receiver mount and it won't be in the water until u need it to be.
