Glad to say that I got my ARB bumper installed last weekend and mounted the winch on this last weekend.
I found that the weight of the bumper and winch combo lowered the front end about an inch. That is with the wire rope and roller fairlead.
The only thing that concerns me about it is that there seems to be a lack of clearance with my 265/75/16s. There is no rubbing, but it does not seem to be too much space for up travel. There is definitely less clearance than stock.
Any experience on the articulation of the Taco front ends?
I took a jack to the passenger lower a-arm to see what kind of problem I would have with travel, and I got no upward movement. So then I drove it up a curb and had the front straight across as well(no visible flex).
With my cherokee I could easily judge wheel travel, but is this a 'welcome to IFS' moment?Is this just because I still have the swaybar connected?
I got a picture of the Taco at Hollister on the stairstep and there doesn't seem to be much in the way of articulation.(2nd pic)
I got my Hoes on the way, that should at least give me more clearance for the front tires.
