Looks good...I really like!
Where did you get your lighted bar? Also, does that screw into the top of the 3 or fit in the roof rails?

I was looking at one like that.... Did you install it yourself? If so how difficult was it?

The winch/bumper is predator. I wanted a clean look. Sorry the picture is not any better. I had trouble sizing it.

Is that the DOI or the Predator set up? Which winch did you go with and did you use synthetic or steel cable?

CWO...Must be nice to be rich! Those winches are top dollar and I want one but my CFO won't turn loose of the cash. Something about "My Truck" getting 14 MPG while her Honda roller skate gets 36...Women!

The light bar is the same one I mentioned in the other thread which is from PLUS 1. It comes in black or silver.

Awesome winch! Looking forward to getting one once the Wifey agrees to it..haha

Do you notice the weight of the winch on the front of the truck when turning/braking/ or accelerating? Do you have the torsion lift, and if so, did the nose sag at all after installation? Those winch/bumper combos are sweet, but I'm just curious about details before I pull the trigger on one!

The winch package was $1599.00 free shipping. It took a week from CA. I spoke with Josh at Predator before I ordered it. He told me it was a 5.25 hour install. It did add some weight to the front end. We added one inch to the T bars and it fixed that. I have no CFO or wife that I must seek prior approval from. Although when my girlfriend finally noticed it she called me a HUMMER whore. Hey if the name fits?
