Took the 100$ winch and added a few upgrades. :dogpile:

Wireless remote 20$ and a Warn 89576 contactor for 18$ :p . This winch only had 2 cheapo realys to activate the winch. Never seen that before. I was like WTF is this cheap ****... lol...

A bit of Kent Chem-Weld 15 to hold all that new **** in place... and voila I now can load a dead moose in style..

Lmao well I don't think it has ever been done. It would be good info for the forum....
Somebody Lincoln Locker'd the front diff a few years ago on one of the facebook pages,but the truck was strictly a farm truck that was used for skidding things around on the farm,and never seen any highway use

If i had the choice between a full locked front diff or an open diff, especially on a daily driver, i would definitely take the open diff. A locked front sucks in a lot of situations unless u really need the traction.

yeah it definitely would not be fun. The rear is bad enough.

Finally got around to cutting this extra junk off today. Will look much cleaner once the new bumper is on.

Im not to worried about brightness. Just need to fill the holes in. The 52" will take care of that.

The more I think about it the more I want amber ones.

I still cant wrap my head around not wrenching on my truck for 6-8 weeks. :oops:

I dont know how normal people live just watching TV and not doing ****. I guess having the brain function of a 12y old dosent help me either. lol...

Good thing that Chassis Unlimited has a 4-6 week lead time.

Buy once cry once. I used to buy all sorts of Amazon lights and they just keep going to crap. I buy higher end lights and keep them if I get rid of the truck. After awhile yoy have allllll sorts of nice lights laying around.
