Over achiever syndrome? Hmmmmmm
The winch is definitely 12v. Probably going to pull the bracket off until I decide to either install a 24v one or a hydraulic one.Whatca' gonna' do with that funky winch install?

Ah. Makes perfect sense. I'll have to find some and if I do, I'll re-drill. NBD. I just hate random holes.Those holes in the tailgate are for the stock rear reflectors. They should be the same military standard ones in red that are on the rear sides of the bed corner.

There was also a spot in the front fender that had been beat up pretty badly, so the dents were hammered out, a skim coat of filler, and now it's ready for prep and paint

I'm really impressed with how much you got done in a short period! My own projects tend to go at a glacial pace by comparison. My rather pathetic and unconvincing excuse is I'm always doing several projects at once.![]()
