Nice! I love primered trucks. Looks agressive like that... almost like the back alley thug.

First step in getting the Wraptor anti-wrap setup with Kert's cool wristed shackle setup. I just have to figure out how to fit it and pay for it.

In Nevada without a front plate its not just a fix-it ticket. You have to go to court and see the Judge. So I drilled and tapped the front bumper, if it gets folded under oh well, at least its there.
That reminds me I have to do mine!!!!!!!!

About time for an update I think.

I got a winch kind of for Christmas. It's a Ramsey REP8000 that we picked up $250. I had to modify my front bumper to add room for the winch:
BEFORE:


AFTER:







I had a chance to use the winch on a snow run. I was pleased with how it did. It's no speed demon by any means. I was stuck in hub-deep snow and it pulled me out with a snatch-block added. The thing that impressed me about that is the winch pulled hard for at least 5min without a break.

That was a great deal for 250.00, I think we'd have had a much longer day without it.
