Stuff is pretty beefy but a bit feisty to get on/aligned. Thank goodness for 2 jacks to lift those metal beasties up.

I dont have pics yet but I wired up my offroad lights and mounted two front recovery points. With my tube bumpers I was a little puzzled as to how to mount recovery points up front. I found some very heavy duty 1.50" square tubing and tractor drawbar grab hooks. The Tractor drawbar hooks are rated at 10k. Drilled holes into the frame and bolted the tubing into the frame with grade 8 bolts. Then attached the drawbar hook to the tubing. I then added some welds to the frame and tubing just for added strenght and was done. It seems very sturdy and should work when I need to give or receive a pull.

No they were a pleasant surprise when ripping open the box. I actually wrote Smitty and told them they were underselling them selves by having such horrible pics of them.

Yell if you need more, but I am 200% pleased....we got way more then what we paid for them.
