and burned in some 1" .250 wall dom for the RK long arm brackets. opted to not use the smaller dom and spacers that came in the kit..









should be a bit more beefy for not welding on the brackets...

Looks great! When you get the winch in, could you post a pic of how everything clears?

A small stinger would look perfect, IMHO.

i was kinda thinking the same thing about the stinger.. i just picked up a 22" led light so i'll be mounting that in the next couple days and might add a stinger above it..

haha.. i've definitely dropped some coin, but i'm still within my budget i set when i started.. doing all the fab and installation myself definite helps on the bottom line.

I'm also interested in how you have the winch mounted to the factory x-member. Picture of that would be great. Looks like the vertical plate part of the bumper butts flat up against the x-member. The factory x-member will be sandwiched between the winch and winch plate on the bumper?

Awesome build so far.
