Nice work. I’m not ready for the winch mount yet, hopefully these are available in the fall. We’re buying a house this month so I’m on a spending freeze.

I'll do my best to have continuous stock. It's much faster to get stock in regularly when it's made in America.

Thank you
I watched the install video and it looks like there is potential for some interference with the Z clip. I can't tell if the clip just hooks the lip of the face plate, if so it should work, but if it hooks into the old nut plate my gussets will be in the way.

Looks like a great solution. I’d use it with my OEM Capable Bumper just for insurance and future upgrades. How do you recommend drilling the holes for the front most horizontal bolts? Attach with the existing rear bolt and mark it? Or keep it attached and drill? Drill through both sides in one pass?

Any special requirements for drill power or bits? (Never done this before!)

Even though these frames are a very high strength alloy it drills easily, I think the bits I used were HSS. I stepped up 1/4 to 3/8 to 1/2. You'll want to drill one side at a time and it's your choice if you want to mark the hole first or use the bracket as a guide.

I'll lay it all out in the instructions.

Thank you for looking. I plan on getting the relocation brackets. If you develop any detailed installation videos or pictures, maybe I can use them to help identify compatability when the time comes and let you know?

Thanks for the support everyone, that first run is nearly completely spoken for. I'll be updating the description today to show a shipping date of 6/1 or so for subsequent orders, as I'll have to get the second batch going.

Well bad news. An email has been sent to each person that ordered, but I wanted to announce here as well. Our inventory showed up today and as I was getting ready to start boxing them up I found a manufacturing problem. It's a small oversight and easily corrected but it will delay shipments by about 2 more weeks.

I'm very sorry to pull a Ford on you all and understand if you want to cancel you order, just let me know.
