2012 overland upgrades
So im buidling my truck into an overland truck and my next step is to upgrade some of the stock components... im looking to upgrade the front IFS and add skid plates. I was curious if anyone knows where i can find upgraded IFS parts. Are raptor parts any stronger? I already know im going to add lockers front and rear but just curious if my IFS is going to be able to take the abuse.

Great looking truck. A winch is on my want list for sure. I have eyeballed that mount from rough country. Ive been checking their winches out as well. They seem to be identical to the bad land winch Harbor Freight sells. Not sure if it is though.

Most are made overseas anymore. I have a TC 12,500 lbs winch that I am putting on my truck when I can get the winch mount. Warn is the only winch made in the USA. That is why you pay a arm and leg for one.
