Spare time upgrades

[Ba-Riedo]

In my spare time I have taken to cleaning up and improving parts of my rig. The first one was my Superwinch, it got rusted on the bars over the drum so some black spray paint was in order:

Custom spray box:

Finished product:

My rear bumps weren't quite long enough and the factory ones were falling apart. I have DPG spring plates, and the factory bumps extended with 1 inch bar stock. Here is what's wrong with them:

Notice the broken breather hose, Avanteone do you still have a spare of that?

They look ok right?:laugh:

That is what happened when I took it off.

The replacements:

I need to make the holes a little narrower on the new ones, or use self tappers on the body:

I replaced my rear bumps with the same ones...

I narrowed the holes. Make sure that you cut a bit away from the "rubber" to take into account for the flare on the bolt.

Good to know, the nutzerts in the body might be fubar'd. If this is the case I am just going to get some self tappers and attach the bumps that way.

When the bump stop bolts break, I just tack them to the frame. Its easy to remove them when you need to, a chisel pops them right off and a grinder cleans the tack up for the next install.
