I "stiched" them after cutting out the square ridge that was in the way then ran RTV over the top of the stitching. For the stitches I used Zip ties. They have held for 3 years now with no signs of breaking.

more pictures... 1/4 " steel plate tied into the existing class 5 trailer mount

I got a lot of questions on who fabricated the winch under the rear truck bed. I did! Im here in Arlington texas, advanced degrees in Radiology but enjoy hands on my own projects. Here are some pictures of the install to the rear of my 4x4 with ARB lockers front and rear.

Prior USMC ... high speed low drag... not a fan of large columns either. "i made Lance Corporal three times!"

Great set up... Look into cutting out the fenders for larger tires instead of giving it a lift in future... see my dodge cummins running 41.5" tires

Nice rig! Reach out whenever you are taking another Big Bend trip!

Ok... heres my 41.5" tires, ARB lockers front and rear, regeared, cut out fenders, 17K winch under back truck bed, lots of other mods, currently welding up a truck bed rack that ill run a softopper canvas cover under the rack with a roof top tent... pictures to come soon.

That looks fantastic! Id love to see it with the dual swing tire carrier. Im interested in doing that with my 2500 cummins.

are you looking to go camping in or around NE texas?

I posted dozens of pictures of the fender cutting process on my other post

Has anyone built a bed rack for a full size truck? Something similar to Nuthouse industries bedrack?

Im running ARB's in the front and back with 4.88 gears.... and that makes a HUGE COLLOSAL difference. Night and day. The biggest difference you can make to any 4x4. I have engaged my rear locker and kept it in 2 wheel drive and gone further than my similar rig with open differentials in four...

17.5k winch under bed of truck and "Decked" drawers with roof top tent installed

Ha! I like it! ... but gotta play the game.... Making 42's look small since 2014 I would be interested in meeting halfway (somewhere in texas panhandle like Palo Dura Canyon state park) and do some overlanding/camping

how did it help.... on road or off road? Im curious now after several others have advised hydro assist too.

I haven't seen any need for hydro assist whatsoever, but im not opposed to trying it either. Id like to drive someone's 3/4 ton with hydro and feel the difference but thus far... no need. I have added a Carli Suspension high clearance stabilizer I addition to the stock steering stabilizer.
