    Thank you, I have no intention of using it for my truck. I simply bought it because it was cheap and it's fun to mess around with.

    I would’ve definitely cropped my pants. I jacked mine up close to the oil pan so if that would’ve happened I would’ve went insane

    Intake, exhaust, lift. Typical stuff.
    A useless thing is never cheap. Would have been "cheaper" to get a proper winch or not at all.

    I wish there were solid headlights for the 2nd face lift trucks, I don't really wanna do the work for the 3rd facelift.

    Maybe someday...for now I just got the trans cooler and oil cooler to sit right. Dont wanna disturb it, it might break lol

    But a 3rd facelift swap may be worth it if it has anymore room than the 2nd, stuff is hard to fit behind there!

    Yeah I had to cut up my grill a little to make my trans cooler fit but that's just because the stock location was taken up by my bumper, gets better airflow behind the grill anyway

    Correct answer.

    I have used winches MANY more times for utility than recovery. They are excellent for pulling old fenceposts out, which I have done more than I want to remember.
