Excellent write-up! I wonder if AC will now have MM make the hoses to custom fit the X? Also why would your pump make anymore noise now? If you aren't winching the winch motor is totally bypassed. I'm sure it grunts a little more when winching!
Where did you get the PS cooler? Where does it fit in line? Why is the sky blue?
About the paint, the Pathy owner was complaining that his winch started rusting 3 days after mounting it.
Again excellent write-up dude...
