I did add some cheap top post mounts with studs on them today and wired up the winch along with transferring all of my other wires to the top post accept the factory starter and ground wires. Went out in the woods and did a full pull with the winch just to set the line and everything worked perfectly. I had a large drop in volts which is I be expected but no drop in engine rpm while doing a constant 90ft or so pull so I think all is well with the setup. Now I just need to find a way to get stuck or better yet get someone else stuck so I have an excuse to use it!!

Got the sliders bolted on! I still need to get a longer drill bit to drill all of the top holes but with just the bottom bolts in they are incredibly strong with only half the bolts in.



My jack ran out of height!

And just because I can

Looks awesome, hopefully I can make some when I build my new front bumper over my thanks giving vacation (taking a week off of work). Any movement out of them when you jack up the truck off of them?

Time is the hard part! I could knock a set out in a day if I had no interruptions and everything I needed there already. I couldn't see any movement at all even without the block of on the jack and only having 6 of the 12 bolts installed.

Thx, the bottom edge is still all steel so they should work like your sliders but not as aggressive looking.
