I went for the Smittybilt version of these, no difference that I can see. Haven't installed yet and when I searched for videos on it yours was one of the few that popped up with decent info. Rule of winches it 1.5x the weight of your vehicle at the least, most recommend a 9500lb winch for YJ/TJ. As for the rust holes, if you have more just cut the rust out and use a hobby welder to tack in some 18g flat steel, lasts longer and won't hold water or salt in like foam does.
So far the quadratec ones have done they're jobs. Quality is what it is for the price and I knew what I was getting. Usually I don't just foam holes but I don't really like or care for jeeps so this one gets the treatment lol
@ParkerMotorWorks I get that, I'm the same way with most Fords. Only reason I'm willing to do the work on my Jeeps is I plan on keeping both my YJ and WJ for a long time.

If mine was nice I'd likely feel the same way but I broke the frame on this one again. Now she sits on the edge on my creek
How are these holding up? I just installed some and had to use a heat gun to get most of the bends out from shipping.
They've actually held up quite well for me. One has a Crack in it but that was my fault I dropped a 2x8 on it
