    Damn that is a good deal! I am thinking about scooping that up right now!

    I want to keep the weight down in the front so yes i will be going with the x2o comp! I would like to have a black fairlead though! Maybe i can get it powdercoated also!

    Would look nice to have the bumper look all black! Other than the amber fogs obviously...

    The price may be around thst all the time. I know it was back around Nov thru Jan when I was watching prices like crazy.

    I know some comanys make black Fairleads and if you decide to powder I would make sure it's a really smooth finish so it doesn't tear up the line.

    Thank you, thank you.

    I need to sand off the paint runs on the bars, hit it with one more coat of primer and it should be good for paint. I need to exchange my bed liner paint for some undercoat protection paint!

    Then i need to paint my sliders!

    Yea I know. I may look for a winch pretty soon, will have to see how the one you are getting works out for you.

    The white bed rack looks pretty nice, but I agree with others that if you are wanting to sell it, may as well do it black now instead of leaving it white.

    I think that i may paint the mid rise rack white.... just have to put some primer on it and see how it looks. It definitely stands out, but im worrying about it staining with all this red clay we have in texas.
    Also the rack is now black!

    Yeah it was brought to my attention when i was thinking about powdercoating my bumpers white. He said that with the red clay it will stain and is hard to clean... so that is the story of how my bumpers where painted black and not white....

    No problem. Im not that much in a hurry to spend that much money anyway.

    Im debating if i want to put a winch on my daily driver, it may end up getting me into trouble, i may try to bit off too much because i have a winch and i end up breaking something!

    Better than not having a winch and having to abandon your daily in a ravine

    As true as that is, i think that i will just want to use it, there for i would just get myself into trouble.

    Also there is usually someone with me that has a winch...

    Just on the ropes about getting a winch or an electrical fuse block...

    With the fuse block i could wire up a power inverter, dual batteries, lights, etc...
