    They said it couldn't be done, but I toiled for hours and have prevailed. The truck is actually inside the garage.

    Don't put it on. The glossy face will peel off in the wind and weather, leaving you with a blank, white, paper sticker. Ask me how I know.

    Cut down some trees last week (they were blocking late day sun on the solar array). Today got out did some limbing and started cutting them into logs that I used the Taco to skid up to my wood pile. Fun alternative use for my truck and recovery gear...

    No worries. Mine came with a Warn "sticker". :D. And, all of my stickers are sitting in the garage, waiting for me to find an appropriate place to stick them.

    I didn't have to relocate the control box. I did have to remove the bumper to get at rear bolts.

    Bumper is a tad bit heavier now.
    2 days ago that hoist had a deer hanging from it.

    Using the deer hoist for a bumper hoist is brilliant.

    100% the same thoughts I had, super jelly of those massive shops. Not sad that I have a garage period, but I basically can't operate in mine anymore. I either need to tear down & build or move somewhere else (leaning option 2 but in this market it doesn't exist).

    Also I received boxes today that say RCI, Archive, and AMSOIL. And this huge hunk of metal from some guy named ATH. And another big metal box on wheels is coming soon from a Husky dog or something. So maybe I have other problems...

    11 years ago when we were house shopping, I had a requirement of a kick-ass garage. Instead we found a great house under our budget with a garage that was about 3 years from falling down. Turned out alright because I got to design a new garage.

    Heh. It's this Bosch one with a nice Freud blade. I've been pretty happy with it.

    I have an extra nearly new Dewalt sliding 12" with a brand new blade on it... we can make a killer deal and gives you a reason to go north for a visit.

    As long as I am doing all this suspension monkey business, whats a few more dollars. Found this and am very interested. When I replaced the LCA's a summer ago the cam tabs were a mess. This looks like a solid alternative with more adjustability! 35's are coming so more strength is encouraged... It is interesting that the 3rd Gen has a different and ODD bolt size (20.5!!!) that is making that kit a problem for these guys. Yes you can get something, but my understanding is the bolts in those kits are undersized and will lead to premature wear. Second Gen Best Gen... just say'in!
