This looks great, and along the line of what I was thinking of doing. Have you noticed any overheating issues since you installed the winch?

Wow Chris, things are moving along nicely and that topper is off the charts for sure. I’m really enjoying seeing this come together - you have some great fabrication skills and an amazing place to work on your truck. Go man, go!

Hey Mike, I haven't noticed any overheating problems, it was 105 degrees across eastern Colorado and western Nebraska on our way home from Utah this summer and it was fine. It doesn't really block the radiator at all it's the air conditioner condenser that sits lower. I'm pretty sure the 589 fab hidden winch plate will have the winch sit in basically the same location. There are quite a few members that have gone with that one with no issues as well.

Thanks Duke! The topper is holding up well so far. I have one small leak around one of the windows that I need address but other than that it is holding up nicely. I am accumulating parts and wires to add some lighting back there, as of now it's barebones. I'll update when I get to that this fall.

My own build is going a bit slower. Seems getting the kid out of the house and into the college only increased the money I'm spending. Funny how that works.
