Hey Drty, I thought you were using Mile Marker Winches in your setup? I just noticed that Dennis has a Warn wench...

We dumped them because they were dragging their feet on supplying us with their new 12K winch. Then it turns out that they were dragging their feet because they were attempting to steal our prototype bumper and claim it as their own. They got caught red-handed.
I went over to Warn and found their Tabor series winches fit better than MM's anyway. Plus, if there is ever a repair issue with a Warn winch there's service centers everywhere, whereas with a MM you have to ship it back to them.

Uh... That's a Warn Winch. Dennis' wife won't let him have a Warn Wench.

Hey DRTY, how'd you find out about that?

Sorry, but I can't talk to you while you're in your mating ritual.

They were chrome lugs for an H1. I sandblasted them and spraybombed them flat black with Tremclad High Heat Paint.

I have to say, the no hubcap look is actually pretty cool. Very original too. Right on brother.

Nice try. I left mine off a looooong time ago when I couldn't get the spray paint to match the powder-coated finish.

For the lugs, you can get them HERE.
He's the guy that started Dick Cepek tires (among other off-road stuff) and is a really good guy and will take care of you. There are no original black lugs available and he got in a bunch and had them anodized for me. I could not find them anywhere else and he was the only one I could find willing to work with me.

Paragon,
Looks like you took a smarter step further getting them anodized. I don't think spray will last as long.
How much was it to get anodized? Mabye you can sell us a bunch in Moab.
I had to sandblast the chrome off then bombed it with Tremclad high heat flat black. And STILL they chipped a bit when I put them on.

I sent an email to my dealer that asked, "do the lugnuts for an H1 fit an H2?" and his reply was "different threads". I really like the lugs on DRTYFN and DennisAJC. I would like to know which lugnuts work (is the dealer correct?

I used an industrial enamel and the paint sort of chipped/compressed off of the edges when I used the lug wrench to tighten them on. I'm going to strip them again and have them anodized.

And that, ladies & gentlemen, is why people with the deviant chrome fetish can't be trusted.
You better stick to tossing salads for people.
