Check it out

I got my winch and bumper on yesterday. Tested it out today and it works good, probably one of my best mods.

I don't think it is. Just similar in size is all.

Does that thing double as an air tank?

Thanks for all the comments

I already got stuck a couple times yesterday, ill post some pictures soon.

It's the stock bumper with "close to" 45degree cuts with end caps welded on. amerijeep: I plan on making one soon thats the same size but sealed so I can use it as an air tank and alot stronger so I can put some d-shackles on it

Its a "chicago electric winch from harbor freight, I got it for $200 with the winch plate included at the HF parking lot sale back in october.
Its the same as the milemarker 9000lb winch, just "rebadged" and sold for cheaper.

I was at Harbor Freight yest, thought I recognized it Thinking about getting it myself. Frank has a Warn 9.5ti, so mine would be a "back-up" of sorts.
