4) Added FP cover to finish out the job.

5) grab a beer or 3 😁

The FP cover is 👨‍🍳 💋

In addition to coating/painting the raw brackets to avoid corrosion, I'd consider changing the power lead zip ties to the intake tubing. The engine will move and you won't want that cable moving or rubbing.

I may fab a bracket still figuring out where to mount it on the pos side there is nothing there so the wire is free standing and I used the zip ties just keep it farther way from the turbos/engine heat. Also the wire wont rub on anything made sure of that one.

Nice! I bought that Turn Offroad winch plate. I didn't like how far out it stuck. Probably going to list it for sale for cheap.

Yes but the only other two solutions is run a high mount (which is bad) and a complete new bumper system. I like the OEM bumper so went this route, doesnt look as bad with my Project X lights on there.

Curious - (planning on doing this myself) - How much did the front end sink before and after?

Also, can you share a side view showing the finished approach angle?

How is your front camera view? Do you need to relocate it?

After install it only moved the front 1/8", but I am running preload collars and a braptor has some pretty significantly stiffer front springs with the weight and 3.0L.

Approach angle is not affected on my rig at least, but the bottom of the plate is 27 3/4 from ground.

Front camera view is actually not bad, but I do have a M2M camera relocation kit, just haven't put it on yet, going to see how it is next weekend first. My sight lines for left/right tire location are good.

Looking good. I have the non S and it's been good to me. The range on the wireless remote keeps getting shorter though, maybe the battery is weak.

I have the wired version not even sure if they have a new kit for these or not, need to dig.
