Thanks Dennis,it was either the bumpers/Warn 16.5TI winch this year or the BD twins/o ring head/studs etc(maybe next year for those) ,but i went with the bumpers due to the fact that i'v had to swerve to miss "Bambie" 3 times last year times driving back and forth to my place at "Gull Lake"---its just a matter of time before i hit one.I had "Line X" coat the bumper too,no paint/powdercoating to flake off. ---sure do get alot of rubberneckers looking back when they pass.Ps---- The look has change a bit from the photo shoot/mag article (Diesel Power feb07),I now have mounted the spare on the canopy roof in a Yakima basket and made a custom light mounts in front of the basket for the 4 old 8" Procomps i had on the front before the Road Armors.Truck is staring to come together,but i doubt we will ever be done with our rigs,just enjoy working/picking away at it bit by bit.DW---see you at next year "Blackout"

Don't really notice any extra weight driving, but my estimate is around 275/300 with winch and bumper,might have to keep a closer eye on the balljoints but time will tell.I noticed more of a slower acceleration when i tried Toyo M/T 315"s for a bit,really added to the look factor of the truck but hindered the performance/bottom end with the 3:55 rear end----went back to 285"s.Thanks for the comments.DW



JEKYL----Love the color,always liked gray as my second choice,the Mrs is eying a 3rd genner now,so we will see.Heaven help my pocket book----2 trucks to bomb---LOL---DW
