Moving on now to my onboard air addition after replacing the WARN Powerplant. Manifold block assembled. Compressor/manifold block assembly mounted. I was going to fabricate the mounting bracket but after pricing most of the items it was definately cheaper to purchase the system in kit form...

Thank you. Mike.

Now onto the front bumper build. Off with the WARN Rockcrawler bumper and Powerplant winch/compressor combo. I wanted to keep the mounting bolts hidden so I had to fabricate a sub-bracket in which to build off of. Here again is my CAD (Cardboard Aided Design) templates. WARN 9.5XP should...

Thank you. Mike.
