Post your before and after lift pics

I'm not a fan of the bed decal....even though GREG (aka SOCKMONKEY) is making amazing bedside decals and might be changing my mind about getting one (if he can incorporate mu OofO Ducks somehow)....but that decal looks AMAZING on your truck! Truck looks awesome. Job well done

What storage pack is that?

 

^^good question... ^^

 

His specs say Yakima Rocket Box

 

Thanks!

 

Yep yakima rocket box either 12 or 14, not sure which one.

 

Would like more info on the recovery points on your stock bumper pls. Are they functional? How do they attach to the frame? Thanks.

 

Actually, I got a lot of SH*T over at TTORA for them, but they've worked so far . . . I have used them. I'll attach some pics and explain what I did. First, I put 4 angled steel "L" shaped pieces together--bolted together, then welded together . . . then I cut one end to round off the shape.

 

Then I bolted, then welded the thick "L" shaped piece to a construction anchor "Strong Tie" seen here:

 

Finished piece looked like this:

 

Oh god not that death trap again

 

The part that connects to the frame is a Simpson HDA 5A holddown. Probably the biggest unknown for me is the Simpson Strong-Tie. Allowable loads for HDA Holdowns have traditionally been limited by the calculated value of their stud bolts, which are going into 6" wooden beams.

Conservatively, each one will accept over 5,000 lbs in tension with a factor of safety built in. Clearly that's not enough by itself for winching, but if I connected both to a winch, that's over 10,000 lbs with a factor of safety on top of that. As long as the winch pulling is rated less than that, the winch would give out before the anchor points. Maybe I should have used the HD7 or 9 (another 1 or 2 thousand lbs per side).
