Same source is fine. I have mine running to the same power source as the main unit.

Do you have an inline fuse on yours? If so what size? Same question for the main power wire.

Not a huge update. 4 brand new BFG KO2s off CL, new 1/2" thick rings, and a new wheel color, satin black. Really like how it turned out but now I want to get my hubs powdercoated black.

I probably missed it. What's the story on the front bumper?

Bumper came with the bronco when I bought it. After discussing it with RMC, we think it's either a JC Whitney or Stylin Trucks bumper. Has 4" fog cut outs and a center grill portion.

Speaking of the bumper; I've been toying with the idea of relocating the mounts further inward so that the bumper will be nearly flush with the body. I want to do this because I want to put a 2" hitch reciever under each frame rail, for a removable pushbar/winch mounts.

What are your thoughts guys?

Did some work on the Bronco today. I've had a really bad driveline vibration. It turned out that my cardan joint had failed; even though I just rebuilt the driveshaft last year. Luckily, Craigslist came to the rescue with a new one. Also did a trans service today and added a little bling. A big thank you to KeenanDuran for scooping this up for me, a while back.
