    In the meantime, get yourself a winch.
    I know someone who has a like-new hidden receiver to get you going.....

    Just make sure to leave it in rear-wheel drive. That way can use the gas pedal to torque-pitch the nose angle while you’re airborne!

    Taiwan makes good stuff, and they do not have nuclear missles aimed at us, so there is that.
    My wife was made in Taiwan too. Just saying.

    Well shit, these RCI braces aren't going to work with this bumper.

    As Kurt Cobain would say, there's Something in the Way. Ya.

    That's one way.

    Another would be to send them back and order the c4 or backwoods. (like I should have)
    Before I compromise the structural integrity of the bumper and the brace.

    Screenshot_20250818_152823_Gallery.jpgThis bumper has a top plate in the way. The brace won't fit over the factory studs.

    I'll get a picture of my C4 ones when I get home and see if they clear the top of that

    Sometimes when I see or hear "rock bridge" I hear "Rock Ridge" in my mind and just know it's turning to shit...

    I have the Backwoods, which are very similar. I had to shave the top of them just a little bit.

    Exactly. And if we want to go drive some trails in Kentucky we just download into a meat suit and go. No need for any of that laborious driving to and from.

    Belay, that and go right to the exhaust reroute. That was money well spent. No more straightening skids and more clearance at the break over point to boot.

    I wish I hadn't waited so long to get mine. Granted I use it to jump the battery in the riding mower mainly, that's so much easier that running a 100ft cord out to the shed.
