    For weight, I would say front was 120-150 with the Winch. There rear was probably 50-60 pounds.

    Hoping to finish my sliders in the next week! 1 3/4" DOM tubing and 2" Square tubing. The kickouts are kind of cut off at the bottom of the picture. Planning on building a bumper and a bed rack this summer.
