So the bumper will be more for aesthetics and ramming? What are you going to be doing with the truck? I'd find a winch on CL and try and make it work. Certainly nice to know its there just in case.
I am not a fan of anything 'prerunner style' on a 1 ton pickup.
I guess I am thinking a bumper with more utility would be better for the camping/kayaking/fishing/beach driving/hunting/shilohridging you would be doing in it.

Utility will be holding lights/recovery points, receiver hitch and being lighter with more ground clearance than what I now. I'm building a 8,000lbs winch mounted on a receiver hitch that will fit in the tool box right now, but its primary use will be for dragging **** onto trailers.Originally Posted by JB
Don't 16,000 pound Warns cost about 2k? I'm all for having a winch when I find a good deal but it is not a primary concern.
edit- $1,600 WARN 16.5ti
The truck is being built for hauling kayaks, boats and camping. Also I'm mainly just collecting parts right now as good deals come along

I have the Chinese version of that and have spent 11 bucks so far. I'll want a bigger winch than 9,0000 lbs if I'm going to spend real money.

Me and sparling spent most the day doing some maintenance on the dodge and fixing Zach's busted winch.
She ain't pretty but she'll do, still needs the 2 inch tube and welds finished.
I've been reading up on adjusting the bands in the 48RE, is there any reason I shouldn't do it? It's time to change the fluid

Then you should love this because its a 3/4 ton

Since I'm not really ready to do much work yet, here is a picture of a few new parts
