Not today, but this past weekend.....

  1. Mounted a winch where a winch wasn't supposed to go
  2. Installed my new Alpharex headlights
  3. Installed my new Diode Dynamics fog lights
  4. Relocated my ACC Radar
  5. Installed my new control arms

Yeah. the hole in the bumper cover is a little bit ugly. We're planning to clean it up a little bit more, and then trim the hole with U-Channel weatherstripping.

The winch mount is the Harbor Freight Badlands universal mount, mounted to the 4 Tow Hook bolts on the frame. Guy on one of the Facebook pages figured out it would fit with some trimming. My dad and I reached out to him and got his measurements. It's a tight fit, but the truck now has a 12000 pound winch in the front end

That could be worth doing a build thread on; I bet that a bunch of us would be interested.

It's on the list. Only downside is I don't have much in the way of photos for this, but I can provide where I got my information from in the writeup as well. Believe it or not, it fits a little too well.

Drove my wife to Dr's appt. Parking spot on the end is wider, parked with left side tires in the gas. Lady pulled in before we could get out. Think she needs Tracy's School of Parking!

Camaro driver, that's about right. I would have made it difficult for him.

@Tracy Bowman even the new guys are aware of your parking skills. :bandit:

Tractor Supply Run! Got a cargo net and a few tarp ties to add to the arsenal.
First guy on the forum to upgrade from the Ranger to a Cat mining dump! Nice!

When I first glanced at the pic, I was thinking 'why is that giant dump truck so close to Tractor Supply?'
Had to take a second look before it registered in my brain. In my defense, it was pretty early in the morning. :crazy:
