    Thanks, I read most of the thread except for where you posted additional items for sale. Got excited about 2 being left, although I realize now it was the recovery kits.......

    will this new hidden winch mount be limitted like the Undercover Hidden Winches to an 8000 pound winch with a remote solenoid? I would like something stronger, and in my dreams would be able to mount a Warn Powerplant 12 behind the grill.

    http://www.warn.com/truck/winches/PowerPlant_12.shtml

    I know it's not likely to fit, but how about the other specs?

    Any general idea (ie. February, March, April) when the 12+ Mounts could be available by? Just got my winch, now I need a mount, I like what you have been doing with your other mounts, but my winch is calling me to be used :goingcrazy: :D:D

    jjew18 had the flu, then about the time we were schedule to test fit again I got the H1N1 virus somehow and right now we are trying to schedule him back in the shop to test fit.

    Believe me it's killing me as much as you guys but life does this to us sometimes and not much you can do about it.

    Holy crap man you've been through way too much on this thread after reading back.
    I'm praying you get your health back.
    then worry about all us assholes hounding you about this project haha
    Really though I hate to see anyone go through so much can't wait to hear you're all good.

    Ok, we are scheduled to test fit Monday, get the bumper cover support brackets mocked up then once all of that is complete we will come back with a 'final' version for test fit. If that is good then we will be ready for production.

    I should also have pricing ready next week so we can start on a group buy list.

    Can't stop living. We are all gonna die eventually so I don't waste my time worrying about it. The docs seem to think we have it whipped, I'll know for sure in June.

    Besides, I have nowhere to go, heaven doesn't want me, hell is afraid I'll take over and since I'm not Catholic I can't hang out in purgatory.

    So here I shall stay, the Grim Reaper can just suck it for now.

    Besides, I have Tacoma mounts to produce.

    We had John's truck again today and I believe we have this thing by the short hairs now.

    The guys are building the 'final' prototype which we will mount up (again) tomorrow and if that all looks good can start production next week.

    We addressed supporting the bumper cover a bit more, the access/drain holes for the factory recovery point, gussets (5) for the bottom fascia and tweaked a few angles and hole alignments.

    I'll post up some pics tomorrow with the final version.

    I should have pricing by the weekend and then we can start a group buy list (in a new thread) so go crack open that piggy bank. As many people that have posted here I hope to have a list of 20-30 people wanting one. :D

    I also have some combo specials that I'll offer you guys that I think you will like.
