And won't snowplow it in Moab...looking forward to NOT having to dig your front end out...
Here's 4shorerunner on the aforementioned obstacle...notice the higher clearance TE bumper still didn't quite clear...
No picture of Limamike because I was to preoccupied keeping the stock bumper ON his truck.
My view of his attempt!

Looks sharp! What can you tell me about that winch hook? It looks pretty trick.

Wellp....thanks for increasing the cost of my build by $124.95, haha. Ordered one up and I haven't even started winch shopping yet.......
That looks incredibly expensive. Have you looked at the Viking Safety Thimble? It's half the price, and you can order it woven into the synthetic line (e.g. Amsteel Blue) rather than having to clip it onto the end of an existing line, which IMO is a lot safer. It also has a bigger slotted opening on the thimble to accept a D-Ring the other way, so that if you're self recovering you don't have to use two D-Rings to attach to yourself. It's incredibly strong, and I highly recommend it.
Edit: The advantage to buying the Factor55 thimble is if you already have a line, or are not planning to use a synthetic line. If you're buying both a synthetic line and thimble, the Viking is the way to go.

You might want to ping Ducmonsta on this one because he knows the full costs of the labor he put into it, etc.
