    awesome man, thanks so much

    I think that you just convinced me to set my switches up like this

    I'll post pics whenever I get the funds to set up switches (along with what they turn on)

    Youve definitely got a capable truck.
    Id say the second most capable that was out sunday. :p:D
    Again, those bumpers are bad ass but I think the flow of the roof rack sets your truck off.

    So Sunday I was winching a truck up a icy hill and sheared off two bolts that hold the winch to the bumper so tonight I upgraded to grade 8 hardware (you would think a winch would come with gr8) all that's left is to test it.

    Today I had to winch up the hill we winched the chev up last week and the winch held up fine but my left rear door found a tree in a tight trail

    Once the guys pulled me off the tree the door popped back almost to normal, with a little work you'll never know it happened, this is motivation to get some sliders built

    Took my front bumper off a few days ago, stripped it, added some plate to sturdy the outer sides, cleaned any weld spatter, smoothed all the corners, primed and coated it and put it back on, I also moved the winch control Solonoid under the hood
