Anyone have a shop they trust (quality and price) for help with mods in Atlanta? (Looking at you NoGaBiker).

Have some side steps to install and trying to decide whether to do it myself or get some help. Kinda depends on what someone would charge. I suspect I will eventually want some help on larger projects anyway. I would like to identify some resources.

Thanks.

 

I had a great experience with The Shop in Norcross. I had them install the Warn Zeon 12S winch with LK8 winch tray on front, and swap and reprogram my rear calipers to the smaller ones so I can run 18s. They weren't fast but I wasn't in a hurry. They took 2 days, but did the job right. They were recommended by LK8, but mine was the first New Defender winch install they'd done. I am very pleased with the care they took with the aesthetics on the job.

 

Exactly what I hoped to find. Appreciated.

Ah, so now we get to see pictures !!! Folks on the EU winch install thread today were looking for them.

What a beautiful, straight-forward winch install -- love the fact that all the complex curves of the bumper are kept far away from the black added trim piece and the fairlead.

Also, the thumbscrew removable (for field use and servicing) screen over the rope spool is EXACTLY the ticket !! Did that come with the Lucky8 kit or was it someone else's creation?

Really great.

Enjoy !!

 

It is a beautiful install of a very well-engineered kit, isn't it? Glad you appreciate it as much as I do, Trio.

The mesh screen is part of the LK8 Stealth Pack Winch kit. It's held on by a couple of large plastic acorn nuts. I added a couple of split-washers to hopefully keep them from vibrating off, and tightened with pliers.

Haven't had a chance (or need) to actually use it yet, other than for pulling a large section of tree I'd cut over to a different location. But needless to say, it worked like a champ for that.

 

I can second the folks at The Shop, good crew there.

The LK8 crew nailed it on that winch set up. I got a chance to peek at the first stages of the full bumper on Monday, I'm excited to see it moving forward.
