    I love this thing. Mine was a bit pricey, but it is extremely useful.

    That's what I'm talking about, no cutting. What bumper is that, it looks like a cap over the existing OEM one!, if that's the case then that's brilliant!, I would love to know who made it.
    Thanks

    Welp it’s done. Over the last 5 days I cut off my LCA mounts. I replaced them with the JD Fab pivot bracket. I then proceeded to put some 37’s on from a CL find. So with a 2.5” dobinsons lift and some love you can fit 37’s and a turd gen.

    I was just thinking about doing a DIY just like this. Where do you source the aluminum? 80/20?

    I’m in Canada so I ordered from Rocky Mountain Motion Control, but it is an 80/20 product so you can just pick whichever local retailer works for you. All in, the project was less than $200 CAN.

    I never would have believed that ANY automobile would be a good investment. However I recently got a quote from CarVana on my 3 year old TRDOR that was $1,520 less then what I paid for it more than 3 years ago.

    Very similar to my first experience with a Toyota. I bought an 06 Limited Tundra in 09. I then totaled the truck in 2011. I then got a check from the insurance company for $800 more than I originally paid for it in 09. Toyota has the best resale of any vehicle IMO.

    Ah yes, earwigs.... There has been a epic battle being waged in my basement for the past 10 years between the earwigs and the spiders.

    You and I have the same strategy. I spoke to the guy at BPF (very nice guy) and the passenger side recovery point is indeed rated. They just came out with the driver's side recovery point and I looked closely at it. Two quick points: 1) It requires you drill into the frame for it to be a rated recovery point. I am too chicken to do that. 2) If you combine the cost of both the passenger side and the driver's side, you are within striking distance of the ARB in terms of cost and might want to go that route for full on rated recovery.

    But like you, I plan on using the hitch recovery point (which is must stronger) and wanted something for the front just in case.

    I did have the Daemon brackets, went to install them and decided to return them. But that is just me. I didn't want to have to worry about them when pulling someone out in the snow. But for me, I am pretty much only doing towing and gently pulling -- not full on aggressive recovery.
