I don't think I've met Caleb. F1/COTA was incredible.... I'll be at Montreal if there's a race next season.

Wow, the legends! That's super rad. Jelly of your time at Laguna Seca too - when I build a racing sim, I'm sure I'll log a ton of time there too ;)
Wonder if they will get another West Coast track on the calendar soon.

Thanks for your interest!
**UPDATE**
Working with the prototype. Lots of changes and updates to be made, but I am actually enjoying this part of the revision process. Some photos for proof:
Winch (ComeUp 9500 RSI) in place with the basic crossmember and winch cradle (Ignore my hanging winch solenoid)

- I will highlight above ^^^ tons of clearance for winch servicing. You can slide your hand in/out of the crossmember to EASILY access the winch bolts that hold it in place. (can't say thats true with many bumpers on the market)
- Also notice the square for the front hitch: thanks for that feedback everyone!
Clearance behind the winch (can't push it back anymore)

Approach angle will still turn out to be pretty decent!

OEM Upper Bumper in place, a couple notes:
- chrome bumper is at a non-BL position in the photo; it needs to move up for my 1" bodylift
- recovery hooks/uprights still not in place
