    Awesome Rylan! I'm slacking in the winch department. I'm waiting for the right moment to mention "winch" to my wife.

    I did a drive thru at sandy's today but never saw the white beast. Haha! I was on my way to Bellows.

    We could've unspooled both of our winches, connected the ends, and played tug of war in the sand. Warn vs. Smittybilt. Battle of the winches!

    Love the progress man and great photo skills. How are you liking the Nittos and did you ever get the bump stop situation figured out?

    Hey thanks Nate!! Photography was a little hobby of mine in the past and I'm kinda picking it back up. I'm also a camera assistant so I'm around cameras all day. Although they're digital motion picture cameras, the photography logic is the same.

    The Nittos work great. Initially there were extra quite for mud terrains but are slowly getting louder as they wear. They're great off road in dirt and mud. Unfortunately these are my first mud terrain tire so I have nothing to compare to.

    As for the bumpstop situation, it's on the back burner for now. I'm getting a different wheel and tire setup soon and I would like to see how they do as far a flex/shock body contact before I do anything.

    How about Toyo MT? Remember, mud terrains are the "real" all terrain. That's my philosophy.

    I heard good things about the RTs. Like the perfect compromise. MT performance with the noise of an AT.

    I like the Nitto Trail Grapplers. They've been pretty quiet initially but starting to get louder. They performed well off road. On road is ok. They seem to slip on wet road at times. I had a little "not on purpose" drifting sesh on a wet freeway on ramp about a month ago. They're aggressive tires so they're more prone to rubbing than an all terrain in the same size. I'm going to MT/R's next.

    i turned on my bed lights so I could see when I put on my boots this morning at about 5:30am. Got back to the truck at about 6:30pm and my bed lights were still on. Doh! Luckily the truck started right up. No problem. I knew LEDs drew little power but damn

    I don't think you'll get MT performance at Peacock Flats on a muddy day with that tire. Either be a guinea pig or go with a tire that's proven up there.
