Got the bumper trimmed, holes cut, winch & roller mounted and all wired up and it works... Next thing to do is wire in a second battery and clean up & paint the bumper with a fresh coat of rattle can black.... Almost wanna go get stuck on purpose just to test the 12k ability...lol

Ryan, Also took a hint from you & got the batteries turned sideways together.. just need to get a couple battery terminals to hook em up.... its tight fitting 2 batteries sideways, but it does work...

Lookin good, need to get a winch on mine, kinda thinkin i want a hidden setup.

really fairly easy to mount a receiver up front behind the bumper & just have the winch on a receiver mount.  lock it up inside when not needed...

I saw one mounted between the frame rails behind the bumper, cutout behind the license plate. Only thing you see is the roller fairlead and hook.

I had mine mounted like that, I just removed my bumper and it slid between the frame and bumper brackets. worked great but there was not a lot of support, if I had to do a big pull it would have been iffy.

As fast my battery setup, there is a pic on page 9 of the 93 build. basically I put them back to back and the engine battery had top post for the truck and side post for connecting to the 2nd battery. It works great and gives you more room, just means when that battery dies I will have to find one like it to replace it. I have since upgraded my 2nd battery to a big case tractors battery ther came in my parts truck, figured why not lol

Got bored today & popped out the back glass...  A couple screwdrivers & out it came...  I put in the back glass I had in my 82 hotrod.  To me it was just fitting since I built this truck frame up....

Looks real good. The body lift certainly makes the fitment easier 

[taz_man440]

No lie... Would have had to be drop brackets without a body lift..

[taz_man440]

Put some fresh satin black paint on the bumper & the sliders... Need better brushes to put another coat on em..
