Soooo it did snow a little, remember that glare ice. Well with a little snow on top and being used to dry roads for the last week I took out a stop sign lol

With that being said I just ordered myself a bumper as a Christmas present to myself once I got home. It's back ordered now but hopefully in a few weeks I'll have it

Yup, and in 14 years this is the first one that's been my fault. I'd say that's not bad, total head in the butt situation. The main road was fine as I was slowing had good traction, made the turn and hit the ice under the fresh snow and the front end just started pushing. If I would have went left I could have just went up on the sidewalk and been fine. Split second decision thinking I could make it. Live and learn!

This was last night but I was able to unload the cab from the totaled F350 that I have been parting out. We couldn't get the skid loader started so we had to get creative with the tractor.

I would really like to paint it or have it bed lined in tan to match the Limited trim on the bottom. Might not do it first thing though. But a black bumper is not the look I'm going for.

The TrailFX bumper I have on order is back ordered with no expected ship date. Depending how the rest of the month goes I may switch my order to a FabFour bumper that is in stock in Seattle. Basically the same thing though.

Depending on your lift, adding spacers will just push the outer edge into the fender liner during turns. Finding that happy medium is hard.

For 9 inch wide wheels, a zero offset will pretty much max out what tire you can run. 34x11.50 will fit with just V/B code springs. Zero offset wheels are hard to find.
