Hitchcans? A blast from the past...

Thanks Damon. Currently: 2 1/2" Frankenlift Premium, nearly bald 245/75 BFG AT's on black steelies, Powertrax No-Slip in the rear, M8000 winch on a Detours backbone, some Hella 500's, Boulder Bars, skids and a boatload of recovery/survival gear. Those tires in the Buttercup shot were 265/75...

New bushings are only $25. Problem is, you nearly need to disassemble the whole front end to get it out. TJKJ2002 was able to snake it out without dropping the front diff. Otherwise the shop manual calls for it to be dropped completely. Nothing like a +/-$500 of labor to replace a $25...
