PJ, the only thing about your truck I don't love is the winch exposed on the front. Personally (if I had a winch) I'd like my truck to subtly hint about the winch hiding behind the front skirt, ready to come out and give a pull when my forward momentum has stopped.

Eventually I want to make a nice offroad bumper for the front that will hold the winch. But that might take a while lol

It will look sweet though when you do it.

Quick update,

Rear end was slippin pretty bad so Went to the junk yard and got some 3.73 gears for the rear end and swapped them in. When I get paid in a few weeks Ill get the front end out the the truck that I got the rear out of.

Also a while ago I heard something about rough country selling just the diff drop hardwear. Anyone know the price of them?
Figure since I have the diff out I should put the drop in.
