Thanx. I read alot of those links. Some are pretty interesting. But in the real world, every situation is different. I already have established a decent off road kit (from getting stuck and saying i wish i had...) But i dont have a ****** block yet. Any ideas on where to get one. My parents wont let me order anything on here.

 

heh. They're afraid to order anything online, huh? Should be able to get one at a 4x4 shop or farm stores, etc.

 

Yeah, i never thought of a farm store. There are tons around here.
I took some pics, now i have to get them on here.

 

Here are the pics. I had to trim the valance eto allow it to git back on, but it looks nice. I still have to paint it.

 

Looks like you did a real good job on it !! I still would relocate the tow hooks. JMO

 

Looks good! definately could use some paint though!

 

I dont have anywhere to move the tow hooks to. I used the mounting holes to hold the winch on. I did a little test. I put the jack under the winch and jacked it up. It lifted the front of the truck off the ground and only flexed a little bit (as it should).

But yeah i already have the paint, just waiting for a sunny day to do it. Then put a FORD sticker on the front and call it good.
