Got a warn zeon 10k w. Synthetic mounted to the CB photo mount finally, and installed a pair of extended rear shackles. Installing a CB next week

Where did you install the warn? Did you go with a new bumper??

 

[ABNTROOP]

Nope, stock bumper, just used a CB Photo winch mount that comes off the front D rings with steel reinforcement plates on the D ring frame mounts.

That's funny because I was already looking at those earlier this week!!! Total brain fart... I was looking hard at those. And yes pics!!!!!! Also btw All American is the way to be. The screaming chickens left a bad taste for me after Afghanistan.
Truck looks great man keep it coming...

Where did you get the reenforcement plates?

 

[ABNTROOP]

When I was emailing back and forth with the CB Photo guy, I mentioned them and he dug around and found what he said were his last pair. Dunno though, might be worth emailing him and asking him, otherwise there are some folks on here like scarsman who I'm sure could fab up a pair for ya

I got mine from CBPhoto. Worth asking him.

Installed a 20" light bar under the CB photo winch mount today since the warn blocks my grill lights. Got the Sherpa snorkel in the mail, not sure when I'll get around to installing it

Sweet! Have any pics?

I'll take more/ better pics next time I've got it out of the garage

The LED light bar is 20" and comes in with just shy of 1/2" of clearance on either side between the angular supports. I went with a single deck for clearance as I didn't want it to hang low, and I have it set back far enough that it's tucked up safe in the bottom of the bracket. It's a combo of spots and flood and cranks out a lot of light. Certainly more than my grill lights did, so good trade-off IMO. Look forward to using it this summer.

I had considered putting one there. That rocks, safe spot, other than rocks, etc hitting it. Thanks for the pics, would like to see it in daylight !

Looking good. You have been quite busy on your rig lately. Good job

 

[SuperBuickGuy]

photobucket has an issue, otherwise I'd illustrate this with a picture. Where you put those lights wouldn't work for me because I've pushed snow farther up on my grill than when your lights are (and mud, but no pictures of that).

 

[ABNTROOP]

Yeah, I have yet to bury my front end that far, but we'll see what the future holds

Got the snorkel installed today. That was a pain in the ass..

Thanks for the compliments guys! It's cool to see her coming together, and gives me that big grin every time I hop in the drivers seat. We're all pretty lucky to have such a great platform to start with!
