    I'm bookmarking this thread. I love the idea of increasing offroad ability while keeping a clean, mostly factory appearance and something like this is bang on perfect for achieving that.

    Definitely excited for the '12+ one. Just out of curiosity, does this cover the mounting points an Avid light bar would use?

    the avid bar bolt on over the factory bumper mount. i would say no due to a thicker material vs the default crush bar and the new geometry just wont work, however i do believe this mount will have light tabs

    I'm going crazy waiting for the 12+
    About to ship my truck out to tx just to let him use it. Gimme gimme.
    Work needs me to use my truck often to reach sites that nobody else has the balls for/ is stupid enough to get to. One site is mandatory 4x with a winch to be safe & I've been stalling waiting for this to avoid some goofy ass push bar winch mount with a godawful approach angle and no skid. Glad I found this before I pulled the trigger on the hidden winch that's out there already!

    Hey just throwing it out there,
    Alot of us are used to long turn around times with fabricators & would have no problem putting down money on a pre- order if the cash flow would help you speed things along :) (for the '12+ folks anyways)
    That'll be much cheaper for me than sending my truck out to tx..... Haha

    Stupid Question: you are creating the mount-only, correct? It would be up to the end-user to source and install the winch? I'm wondering if Cyber Monday would be a good time to save on the winch.

    If all of that is correct, what would you recommend for a winch to mesh well with this mount?

    Many thanks. Patiently following along and enjoying the product development.

    Guys/Girls I have to chime in here and simply say this: A lot of you are acting like absolute children asking for updates every day (and some of you are by your age listed on here so youre excused, somewhat....) IM sure like many custom fab people on here they are working diligently to produce a safe product for you, these things take time, trials, and a lot more effort than you will ever see or sadly appreciate. Anxiousness is one thing, but asking all the time when you KNOW he is working on it is ridiculous. Also dont forget your fabricators arent robots, they have lives away from work and this forum. Would you want him to rush the product becaus of your anxiousness and it fail and your truck fall downa cliff?? I dont think so. Feel free to flame away but you have zero basis to. Be patient. It will come.

    Asking for updates every day..... dude, i was the only one that even asked! and it isnt every day, the last progress update was well over a week ago, and i was curious to see if any other progress had been made since everybody is back from the holidays. I understand that fab work, especially designing new stuff can be time consuming, and i am in no way trying to rush him along, hell, i don't even expect to see these rolling off the line until next year!
