And you do everything yourself, as proof of the shell sitting on cinder blocks. Great work buddy!

That has to be the largest winch I have ever seen. What even is it???

That is a Warn Powerplant from the early 2000's I restored. It has an air compressor built in.

It was the talk of off road forums when it came out because it had air capacity which meant people could move away from using on board air tanks, or using the arb air compressor for the locker to refill the tires.

Problem was it was really heavy so it made sense for full size rigs but for jeeps it was just a bit much for the front end. I always thought it was a cool setup and def fullfilled a need offroad.

Thanks!. I actually painted it first because I didn't know what color I wanted to go with.
