12000lb winch with 4/0 cables ,and used 2” long bolts on the battery clamps ,which had the positive terminal shorting on the inner fender .
Anyway ,it has all the typical stupid kid crap stuck on it including a 6 inch lift kit and brand new 35” tires.Of course ,he didn’t re gear the axles so it’s a porky ,slow shitty wobbly driver .Today ,I found a set of little 235/16” tires and rims (about 6” shorter tires )and installed them and it has made porky pig into the coyote ! Huge difference in how it drives both power and handling wise .I am no longer the idiot with 20 pissed off drivers on my bumper .It honestly feels like I added a turbo to the 4litre .

Unfortunately, that's not an uncommon mod to a TJ for one more concerned about image.
