The Shrockworks sliders were packaged super well. They used some sort of injected foam that formed to the sliders in the 6 foot long cardboard box. They skids were shipped on a pallet with some heavy plastic wrapping on them. I can't wait to see it on either! Should be going on next weekend if all goes as planned.
Yeah I remember your pics of the shrockworks bumper, some crazy packaging went into that haha.
Yes, I do plan to run a winch. I really haven't done much research yet, but I'm thinking something with synthetic line to try and keep weight down and with a control box that is moveable so I don't have that sticking up in the front of the truck. That's about as far as I got, I remember looking at Warn's new line of cheaper winches last year though. I need to do some more research though.
Yeah it certainly isn't a priority, I just think they look cool haha
Not sure how they would look on a bumper without headlight guards though and only the stinger.

Thank you for taking care of me on the turn signals, I got the email notification just didn't have time to post on here as I was out of town all weekend.
I wasn't bashing on the shipping, sorry if I came across that way. My main point with the shipping was that it is really frustrating peeling all those labels off, when it is easily preventable, and I know I'm not the only one who has had that issue. A very simple solution would be take some ceran wrap, wrap it around where the label on the winch mount is put some packaging tape on it so it doesn't come undone and put all the labels on that part. Just my simple humble opinion on the matter.
I don't plan to go around bad mounting your company, I'm still gonna run your bumper, and you're sticker is still gonna have a place on my back window.
I realize that it was shipped bare metal, not an issue, my main point with it was the way the labels were attached is a pain. It was more than 5 minutes and a razor blade. The surface has to be perfectly clean for paint/powder to adhere properly. Everyone knows how difficult it is to get that sticky residue off of anything after you peal the label. I know you are a perfectionist as am I and wouldn't just scrape the large bits of adhesive off and let it be. I don't think it's an unreasonable thing to mention when you're paying $1000 for something.
Pics of the bumper installed are to come next weekend, some pics of last weekends adventures will be posted sometime tonight. Hopefully they came out as cool as it looked in person.
We tape them on like that to avoid having a label lost in transit. Loosing an $850 bumper isn't something anyone wants to have to deal with. So, we tape them on like that to make sure that not even Fed Ex can screw it up and lose a bumper.
FWIW, since you dropped it off to have it powder coated, they should media blast it, which would have removed the excess tape and residue very easily anyway.
