Truck looks great man! Keep up the good work! Where did you get the winch and how do you like it so far (if you have used it)?
thanks im loving the truck, and as for the dent IT WASNT ME! i bought it with that dent in the hood. it had a smashed grill too. and i want to do a D44 this summer.

Sweet lil truck man. I love the bumper..

did you make your own mounts for the axe, shovel, and jack, or did you buy them, i really like how you mounted them, and all the rest of the stuff you have done with the truck.

That $5839 is gonna build you a sweet truck. Glad to see the accident didn't slow you down.
