New IDI

Just wanted to say hello on the IDI forum. Recently picked up an 89 F250 4x4 with an excellent maintenance record. Has a Banks Sidewinder, 3" straight pipe, SAS, ZF5, and a 6" lift.

I still want a bumper for my truck. That one looks tough and looks like it could be a bit heavy. Can you post pictures of all the bolts and welds. How is that winch put on? Is it bolted on or is it welded in place?

Nice looking truck. I would like a SAS for mine someday, but with no lift it is doing OK for now with the largest tires I can fit 305/70R16.

Looks real nice.
If I'm right, thats an old Warn (Belleview?) winch. I have one just like it mounted to a jeep bracket with a piece welded on to fit in a trailer hitch. The way it mounts is the 6 bolts you see in the front of the bumper
