    I'm going to go check out a Warn M12000 tomorrow anything that I should look for/test? I've never used a winch so I really have no clue other then if it free spools and pulls.

    I have ddm tuning 35w 6000k and they are ultra white with no blue...i love them...kind of hate how the bulbs have a reflector because it makes the cut off different but over all love them.

    Relentless Armored! Too many others to list.
    Did a few needed upgrades...
    New blacked out headlights and blacked out/clear corners. Since I had to remove the grille to install the lights I decided to paint it black to get rid of the chrome until I can color match it red. while installing the lights I also finished the turn signal relocation into the corner marker light housings as well. I think it looks much better now!

    Are you insinuating that he may be actually trying to change the engine oil and accidentally drained the tranny? Why would he do that?!? :p He's not a 2nd gen owner! :D:cool:

    With 285/75/16s what wheels backspace would have the least amount of rubbing issues?

    16x8 with 3.6 back space or 16x8 with 4.3 back space?

    This is frustrating. Pinch weld mod doesnt seem like a huge deal so I wouldnt mind doing that.

    ALL OF THEM!...Then some more.

    going to have to do the pinch weld no matter what most likely.

    4'' BS on 285s is best.

    between those two, the 3.6 would be the better choice.
