Many of you may remember the bumper on my rig with the big stinger. Well it turns out that it wasnt compatible with a winch. The stinger was right where the winch plate need to be bolted down. After all day cutting and grinding the new winch went on with out any other problems. I think my rig/bumper looks a lot better with out the stinger and with the new winch. What do you think?

Before

Now

Oh and Im not done. I will post more pics later on this week of the other goodies I got for my rig. Lets just say in a week I will have Rock Lizard Super Skink sliders, custom Komodo HD rear bumper (expedition style), full front to rear Skid Row skid plates, and some stuff from Weater Tech installed. In the works.... custom expedition roof rack which will be the full length of the roof, forward cargo basket, roof tent and awning. My new goal for my rig is to build an Overland Expedition vehicle. More to follow......

Noooo! That stinger was awesome!
Why didn't you run a flat winch plate, cut that down, then run a 3/16 x 6 plate underneath the bumper to spread the load to the mounts?

You know.... never thought of that. We tried just about every winch plate and the stinger was always in the way. I wish I didnt have to cut it off lol... it would have saved alot of time.

So I got the first plate in and installed.... just waiting on the others as well as a Rock Lizard gas tank skid.... I get the first one

Oh and just because lol... caught these yesterday

Nice Cuttroat

A decent Brown

Looking good!

When did you switch to duratracs?

I got the Duratarcs when I got back from Afghanistan last year. I like them a lot better than the KM2s.

So its almost complete. I got my RL rear bumper and super skinks installed on my rig now and it looks great!! Im just waiting on my custom jerry can x2/ hi lift carrier and it will be complete. Well not really.... Im going to add an extra ISO in the rear and add another 1 inch of lift in the front. What do you all think?
