It's against my policy to post a photo of my vehicle while it's in a driveway, parking lot, or garage. You'll have to wait until the weekend before I show The Beast.
PS: Chrome bumper for sale. Bull skull not included.

The truth is that we didn't finish until well after dark. Now, aren't photos on the 'net of some dude's new mod in the frickin' dark about the most annoying thing you've ever seen?kcowyo said:But you can email me one right?rngartis
I'll spare you.
I'll break the other rule this one time:
I know it looks like she pooped a DeWalt drill.

Check it out . . . We were busy this week, so I deserved a treat while reviewing the hard work. My buddy Andy helped me with the installation and wiring for the winch and lights.
The winch goes inside the bumper body, and they made clever provision for the controller. But we had to disassemble the control box, undo the wiring, extend the plug, and re-wire the M8000's box. When we got her all put back together, Andy said, "We should attach some power to the winch and test it before we get this thing all bolted into place."
Guess what? We re-wired it backwards (flipped two wires), and the dang thing fed out line when you wanted it to bring it in, and vice versa. No harm, no foul. Luckily, Andy took a photo of the inside of the control box before taking it all apart so we were able to see where we went wrong quickly.
Next week, I'll take her out to test the winch and lights for the "good" photos.
Very cool Mark!
And it still lets some of that chrome shine on through - an added bonus!!!
Looks great. :26_7_2:

Looks cool Mark, glad to see it on there. If you get a chance, could you pm me that original photo of the wiring in the control box? I took one of mine off to compare to some other wire and forgot to mark where it came from, and can't clearly see on Warns site where it goes. And of course it took me so long to do it, I can;t remember know! Thanks

Smart move.
Give Andy one of those beers!

Check behind the X's in that photo above. I'm working on a before and after photo of The Nose Job that is sure to lighten some hearts and provide a laugh or two.

As I have already said your truck is my inspiration! Can't wait to see the next write up!
I have a quick question for you. Did you remove the mud flaps on your truck or did it not come with them? Do rocks, etc chip the bottom of the truck without them?? I want to take mine off but am afraid with all the gravel they drop on the roads here in Colorado that it will chip all the paint off the lower half of my truck.
