    So it turns out, it photographs MUCH better with a little sand on it!

    Meh, Don't worry about it HH, I'll get you some quality pics and a video install shortly. We'll throw a little 686 Desert Sand at it and see if it photographs better. ;)

    You pointed that at me, didn't you? Let's do this! So you have a link for the current one? I'm liking the idea of toolboxes. I've got no problem being a patron of the metal arts.

    I thought about that, but was concerned that the wood runners could get compressed with a load in the bed and give the potential to shift the mount plate. Also didn't look like the bolts would be long enough to make it to the wedge plates. I agree, I like the idea of getting it up even higher...

    Nah - I took it off to avoid crushing it when I was lifting in place. Doing the electrical tonight. I've got 150 250 and 300 amp circuit breakers, I know the max amp is 300@ full load. I've also setup a disconnect switch. Does the Overload Ring act as a breaker? I was thinking that I might...

    That was not easy. Until I went and spent $89 on a transmission jack. Feels pretty substantial, but did I get it right is the question. I know I'm an early adopter.

    Winch mounting plates

    Well ****! I get a call from my MIL this afternoon, telling me there's some wood box on the doorstep of my house. "I don't know what it is but I can't move it!" :whistle: The packaging alone was pretty enough to take a picture of! I feel like I need to save the box like I just smoked a good...

    Winch mounting plates

    HH Would it be possible to do a similar setup to Ricky's on the 9-series? I like coming through the rear under the tailgate, but I don't want to interfere with the complete drop down. (Of course, with my torsion springs back there, I don't really have that much of a problem since I don't...

    Gotta say... prepackaged "ready to bolt" makes me very excited. I'll be in for one. How soon until your ready on these? Gonna need to get a second winch for the front... Once I figure out how that's gonna work.

    Hard Head, Here's where I was wanting to go with my front install. I've test fit both upside down and rear-ward. I'm not crazy about the fitting as shown below, because it puts the guide plate springs in harms way, and requires a front mount fabrication for the fairlead. But this method does...

    That would be awesome! I have no problem paying for "bolt and go". I'm thinking of doing front and rear. But I'm dead set on getting it under that front end. I'll look forward to your word!

    Is there a reason nobody seems to want to mount under the front end? I really don't want to add any more length to the truck, and wanted to mount underneath with the fairlead mounted coming out the front below the hood catch. Seems to be a ton of real-estate under there.
