Nice!  :clap2:  I can't wait till I can order one!  I love the fact that Marlin's is very open, to help keep good airflow to the radiator.

I'm not much worried about that, but I do like how the winch is protected....

As a matter of fact....

MiniMini just finished test fitting it.

Couldn't get the back 2 tab holes to line up, so I'm going to have to enlarge/slot those holes when I take it off.

Thanks to OldYellerCJ for crashing my truck :snare: in to the back of a Cherokee and making the bolt alignment super easy. :maddest:

I could not get them to line up on my non-wrecked 85 either. Maybe its an 85 thing? I do not know.

Nope, I am going to worry about it when I get a winch put on. Right now I think the 6 bolts are sufficient.
