I tried to wait for Drty's bumper winches to be released but I guess I'm too impatient.
I've seen some close up pics of his setup and it looks more heavy duty compared to Warn's setup.... however, I'm not a hardcore wheeler and it'll serve me fine (hopefully)
Arrived today, took about 2-3 hours to install.
Sorry for the crappy pics.

It has the remote that came with it. Is that what you are talking about or you mean "wireless" remote? (is there such a thing?) </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Yes. Ken just installed one here.

It still looks crooked. Like the wheels are turned left and you're not holding the camera straight

Phil,
LOL, it was end of the day and I was using my cell phone. It usually takes better pics but it was really getting dark, I'm surprised it came out at all.

At least the skidplate is straight.

Something looks crooked somewhere. I can't figure if the truck is leaning to the DS, the skid plate is bent up, the bumper is off, the plastic top on the bumper is off or what.
But something just looks off to me. Of course, I am the person that walks through people's homes straightening their artwork.

Damn you Paragon, you actually saw that. When I put the lift kit on the truck, you're not suppose to use the stock skidplate.
Well, I cut it in half, rewelded and put it back. Apparently while welding it, it got warped. I never messed with it because with the stock frt bumper, you can't tell.
I noticed when I put the Warn bumper on, it shows the crookedness of the skidplate. I was going to fix it tomorrow. It was late today and I didn't feel like messing with it.
Damn you, I say, Damn you...lol.

Mark </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Well you just saved one small portion of the sanity I have left. Something looked off but I couldn't really put my finger on it. Just get a rubber mallet and "form" it back to a nice good shape.
