is the small mod to the fenders all it took to make much of a difference in tire clearance?

There was no tire clearance problem with the fenders, I just didn't like how crammed it looked so I cut 'em up to make it look better. The only clearance problem with the 33x10.50's is the pinch weld on the inner fender fire wall on the front.

Actually no. The nuts are retained in the winch itself and the bolts go up from the bottom. So, actually, the BOLT HEAD is in the lock box.

How is the optima holding up? Guys around here that I've been talking to have less than glowing reviews of them. A couple of guys had their optima's burn out after a year. Still, the price is better than the odysseys by a fair bit, so if they work well, I may give one a shot.

Finally got my rear bumper built and put on....not completely done yet though. I'm gunna get some 1.5" .120 wall tube bent to protect the headlights and higher up on the body...kinda like all the tube bumpers out there. I made it out of 2"x4"x0.25" tube. Its a heavy ass bumper but at least it won't bend like my last bumper...Marlin Crawler Oh yeah, and it was made with a 110v lincoln mig 140HD with .035 wire cranked all the way up and preheated with beveled joints
