Definitely recommend Kumho Venture tires if you are going to use it as daily driver. Good luck. :mrgreen:
Im planning on getting a Champion 9500lbs winch but the ORA winch bumper is off the list as they have sold out now and not making anymore :cry: so it looks like ill have to make my own, was making the rear so no great hassel.

Whats these nogo caps??? not heard of those? Ill do a google search :?:
