    I thought I was reading an old post when I saw this. Didn't you have something similar happen to you with another shop? Sorry to about that, that sucks....

    ill never understand why people do silly shit to their vehicles, just like stick on vents you see people put on their front fenders. Your truck looks 100% better!

    Got started on my front bumper build today. This winch is as high and tight as I can reasonably go. Now for the not fun part of bending and coping tubing, which I have very minimal experience in.

    I did it by myself and it took me about an hour and a half. It was pretty easy. Do yourself a favor and do the passenger side first. The driver side is kind of a pain in the ass. The bolt does not want to line up right so you are going to have to do a little work to get it to go through. I used a round pry bar to line it up and then used the bolt to push the pry bar back out. I got the bolt most of the way through by hand and then had to tap it the rest of the way with a hammer and the same pry bar coming from under the hood. You can get a good reach on it from under the hood. A second set of hands would certainly help but you can definitely do it alone.

    Forgot to post a few weeks ago. I finally got side ride mounts from @Nimble9. Solid, sturdy, no movement. Damn satisfied with the mod. Thanks again! 20200618_163948.jpg

    Nice! Love seeing them with a Softopper!!!

    I'm currently sans Softopper though, which I guess counts as something I did recently:

    The previous owner did a horrible job at it. It looks like it is connected but it also looked like he used about 30 quick splices on it. Ever since I took my canopy off for the first time it never worked again
