What winch plate did you go with? Or was there one that came with the bumper?

Comes with a steel winch mounting plate... Sorry, I did not take more photos of it... this is the only photo I took last night... Never mind the tow hooks... I was playing around with checking the alignment...

EDIT: On more photo...

More goodies to arrive this week, including a battery replacement for that one with the big 'ol hole in it!

I replaced the engine air filter and the cabin air filter. The time it took was 3 hours. Your asking how could it take this tard 3 hours to do that? I dropped one of those screws that are supposed to be captive. I used my driver to extract the screw, but I left it in high and the screw came all the way out and fell with a tink tink noise. I looked for an hour without any luck. Then I removed the entire airbox and tube , radiator fan assembly, skid plate and wheel well liner. I looked for another hour, still without luck.

When I started this 5 minute task, I decided that the carport was a fine place to work. With that said, I put everything back together and drove it into the shop. Put it on the lift and with in 5 minutes, I found the screw. It was in the upper mount bracket for the axle. I had my fingers in there before but apparently not at the correct angle.

Hey...is the fan easy to get out? Haha...gotta do that soon.

The freon lines are in the way a bit, so you need to be careful in that area. The other struggle was the lower hose had to be bent out of the way. 2 screws at the top and it slides straight up. It hooks in at the bottom. One electrical connector to take off. The valance panel on top is held in with those push pin fasteners. I had the air tube off to look around. It is held in with 2 clamps and 2 bolts. Carefully remove the small vent tube so it doesn't break. It took about 15 minutes to get it out and another 15 to get it in. Hvac lines were the worst of it.

Thanks! Vent tube for?

I believe it is the crankcase vent. You need to remove it just to get the air tube out of the way. Son in law broke one trying to change the air filter.
