    Yikes. I was looking at Moog but it seems there are a lot of mixed reviews.
    That’s probably the route I’ll go, still cheaper than OEM

    So long old, semi-useless skid plate. Hello all steel!

    The girls wanted to work on the truck, so I put them to work.
    They also learned why we don’t buy cheap tools.

    I have never been to pooches. I think when the Covid clears up and he has a weekend event we are going to take the camper up there. Pretty pics though

    It was hot as crap out, but still got finished getting the bumper on.
    @3pooches thanks again!

    Bumper looks great and it's a pretty easy install. I knew @3pooches wasn't going to steer you wrong. How much, if any, did it drop the front of the truck with the added weight?

    1/2" probably about right. May drop alittle more when you add a winch but not much. Get one with synthetic line and that'll help keep it lighter.

    I was looking at a 10k from smittybilt with synthetic.
    Pooches had a kinetic tow rope that I may invest in for my “Oh Shit” bag

    There's a bunch of good winches. It's about as confusing shopping for one of them as figuringout what lift you want. I've heard good and bad about Smittybuilt but i have never had one so I won't say one way or another.

    I’ve heard good and bad about the smittybuilts as well (more good than bad). @Darkgoatracer has a traveler winch and while it has steel cable, he uses it quite a bit and it’s been reliable.

    Traveler seems to be the Tractor Supply brand winch, like Badland is to Harbor Freight.

    The Badland 12k actually gets really good reviews. They are slow and loud but supposedly work well and are dependable.
