    NNKH has some good content. He actually owns a AC/5vz-fe/4x4 Bleck like Sneks
    that camper had 1/4" room on each side sliding in, dude got lucky... and the service bed was off a Ford, lucky fit again.

    Those switch back LED’s really look a million times better. I didn’t even think of that when doing mine. I think I just paid a little extra for bulbs that had that no hyper flash built in on mine. Been a while.

    Looks like you're all ready for a tube bumper or plate bumper in the not so distant future.
    Perhaps a hybrid.

    That's just me in IronMan. You can tell by the gold fender flare. We may get some pics of both together today though. @JakeJake if you do get it out today I was thinking some ass to ass shots or something.

    It's like you read my mind. Gotta have a winch mount tho. Thinking about that 9000lb Travellers at TSCO for 389. Seems to have good reviews from what I can find on it. Most have said to get the synth rope instead of the cable it comes with

    9k might be enough. I think 10k is the sweet spot. 12k if you don't take chances.
    At least that's the conclusion I've drawn from online.
    But I don't have any personal experience.
    I need a winch too. The Coastal off-road bumper can fit a 10k and *some* 12k winches according to their website, as long as the solenoid is removable.

    If a 9k winch can't pull you out, just go get a buddy to pull assist. You're ass is fucking stuck stuck at that point. And you have to remember that pull force is applied to the frame, bolts would most likely fail before frame damage, but I'm not gonna try and chance that. Call me a pussy, but I know how the universe likes to stick it to me.

    That reminds me, when I do get a winch, I'll remove the front bumper for repaint and install. Whiles it's off I want you to weld my crumble zones solid where the bumper mounts to the frame horns.

    Nope, cut them off and do a reenforced insert/ backer plate extension. It's what I'm planning on doing.

    It's also how I plan on stretching the frame for the 8ft bed. Muhahahaha. That and a saddle plate for extra-ness. @JakeJake can confirm us multiprocess welders always have to be a bit fucking extra. How do I know this, have y'all seen his post as of late.

    I work for beer food and traded labor hours for my buddies, as long as you have the materials and or parts you need.

    If it's some nerd I don't know 35 an hour plus materials.

    Buy mine, I'll take $26k. It'll come, as-modded, with Bedrug, cap, and I'll even toss in a brand new set of 6112s, and a Bakflip FiberMax that's almost brand new for good measure. For an extra $1k, I'll install the brand new JL amp I've got on-hand and wire it to power the doors and 2x8" subs out back.

    Should be enough for me to find a decent J100 and buy a learner car for the kids, maybe even get started on modding the J100.

    I found mine in 2019 at a dodge dealer in Tennessee. It had 53,000 on it, but with paint issues and dents from being used as a motorized wheelbarrow by the PO. I do about the same with it, but drive it more. I got the paperwork with it that showed they gave the PO $6200 for it on the trade-in.

    Who said I wouldn't be turning around and buying another one? I see potentials float by at $2k-5k at least 1x-2x/week. A lot are 2WD, and many have basic problems we know how to fix - "bad brakes", "weird idle", etc.

    Y'all MF can't get rid of me that easy. I can easily be like stink on shit.
