    I still want that bumper (DAMN YOU MIKE!!!). Think I might sell some old music gear to help fund it. If I get the bumper I will be selling my alum. hidden winch mount for cheap.

    It looks identical to this one w/o the addtl. fog lights:

    Seriously, I think I need to throw a tantrum or something :D



    Noted, I would prefer to sell it locally, but I will PM you with a price if I decide to sell it (shipping will still be expensive though, but we could figure something out).

    I was gonna make two separate skids that bolt together, like the Relentless or Budbuilt ones, but ended up welding them into one piece. Now it's an 80lb slab of pure beef.

    Here's the front skid:

    Sneak peak of the whole thing (I'm working on it right now) :D

    Thanks Chris, I have done a few different write-ups on here (there are links in each section of my BUILD thread).

    Let me know if you have any questions or anything. :thumbsup:

    Nice job on the truck! Very inspiring.

    I like the Hidden Winch idea. Have you needed to use it much? How's the access to it? Do you still run without a front lic. plate - any WSP problems with that?

    Oh, and thanks for the great Bora review. It influenced my decision to purchase those. I wanted to minimize how much my wheels stuck out. 1" is the ticket!
