    Too poor to list anything interesting.
    Quit dragging your nuts all over BBNP.
    :p

    JK. Black gap was fun. I usually hit my recovery shackle out there. I made a video of a night run we did out there. The roads seemed a little hairy, but it was enjoyable.

    I know my 4x innovations has been tested to surpass stock capabilites, I bet Pelfrey's doesn't loose any towing capacity.

    Plus if your towing that much weight that often then a taco probably isn't the best tow vehicle. I would hook anything to a Pelfrey rear HC that I would with the stock hitch and not be worried

    Oh yeah your fine at that, just thought if you were towing 4,000+ pounds a lot I wouldn't say a taco is best for that job.

    Do they offer different powdercoated options? Or is there only one color/texture?

    Well, took another crack at fine tuning the front bumper alignment yesterday and got it damn near perfect. Trimmed the metal under the headlights to clearance the D2s and shimmed the driver side by two 3/8 washers. All's that left to do is drill holes for the tag (why oh why didn't I ask for pre-drilled from PB?? :facepalm:) and hook up the D2 wiring. Also wtg4 frame plugs from StreetTacos, has been over a month now. Trying to get some pics.

    Don't drill holes for the tag, just buy the fairlead that has the flip up license bracket.

    $100 is kinda steep for somewhere to mount a plate. Although, I'll keep this in mind when I get around to installing a winch.

    unfortunately, I have the aluminum version, but this is a genius idea. I do hate the idea of drilling.

    on the magnet idea, buy 2 sets

    What if you put magnets on the inside and the outside. That should hold it.

    Depends how thick the aluminum is.. You'd have to try it and see im honestly not sure if the magnetism would go through that thick of aluminum. Maybe some very strong magnets?
