hit a rock with it.. thats what I did

nah, it's just a punch out, should be able to just kick it out

One of these and a cut off wheel works.

drum655 · 01-17-2006, 08:09 AM

ok...so i have two different answers. can i beat it out, or do i need to cut it?

Hank · 01-17-2006, 08:15 AM

I'm sure you could beat it out. But, as thin as those bumpers are, you may bend something you don't won't to. If it were me, I'd cut it....

I hit mine on a rock which bent it a bit, then when I wanted to get it out to add the winch tray, I just kicked it and it came out.

drum655 · 01-17-2006, 08:22 AM

ok cool. and does the fairlead fit right in the spot?

rmuller · 01-17-2006, 08:29 AM

Yup, bolts right up to the winch tray

I removed the plugs with a BFH.

drum655 · 01-17-2006, 09:56 AM

plugs? BFH? i am confused

Hank · 01-17-2006, 09:58 AM

LOL, BFH=Big Fucking Hammer. I guess "plugs" mean spot welds?? Or, the piece of metal "plugging" the hole...
