i just bought me an 8000 pound winch to go on the front of my truck and i made my own bumper. well im actually now totally done but i got all of the structural part of tghe bumper done. i just gotta finish makin it perty.
i didnt know how many of you run winches on your trucks, just kinda curious. if so what size and what kind. i bought a warn cause i think they are the best. ill get some pics on here soon of the bumper like it is now and then ill put on of it when its done. i dont get much time to get on here but i read the posts every day or two.

Most over here are 9 or 10,000 pound ones. I'm going to put one on when i get back from holidays. Got wheel chains too , shouldn't be too many times i need a winch but it will come in handy one day
