    Yep.

    Mine were badly cracked without any hard winching and IIRC, a couple others have as well.

    Yep.
    IMO, yes, and it can't hurt. Both our relentless bumpers had the tie back plates and the mounts still cracked.

    Damn... that's beefy. I don't think Ryan has time to get into that right now. May be a project for another day.

    Yeah I know you guys are setup different but I have a beefy crossmember welded to my frame horns. Your frame horns look weak as fuck.

    Your talking about front crossmember right....that the scotty bumper is bolted/welded to?

    What about your trans crossmember....have you upgraded that yet?:spy:

    Yeah the front crossmember. All 1/4".

    12549CF1-D88B-4E60-A8AA-B752227F41A7_302417247d388447ff0daef5a531f53ff22344bf.jpg

    Should hold up to winching just fine.

    And no :anonymous: haven't seen the need yet, but haven't put the revised skid to the test yet though.

    I think it should hold up pretty well though. You can def tell the difference between my welds and Ant's welds on it :anonymous:

    @Wheelspinner @MY50cal @mach1man001

    Here you go guys. You talked me into it. I grabbed some more steel from work tonight. @Sub-Zero came over and we got some more done on the crossmember project.

    Cut some 1/4" angle to go on top of the new crossmember and cut out some frame horn plates. We also cut the factory studs off and will replace them with 1/2" grade 8 bolts.

    We're also going to wrap 1/4" angle around the bottom. With all of this and the gussetted frame plates that came with my bumper, I think I'll be good to go.

    Bryan is coming back one more time tomorrow to do all the welding. Then, I can get the truck back together.
