Nice front bumper also! Did you end up making your winch removable and just using a cradle?
I can see how it would help a lot, even using the paper towel rolls take a lot of time. You get a nice pattern to work off of, but it takes some time cutting the template to get it right.

On another note, I don't know if you have a design for your cage but I love how I ran mine through the dash. A couple of my friends have the All-Pro cage and (while it's a good product) it's a real pain getting in and out of the truck. The heater still works great and if I would have spent some extra time I could have put the heater grills back in. It does take more time, but well worth it, a cage is one of those things that you usually only build once.

Thanks, the front bumper is one of my favorte parts of the truck. It just looks "mean" in person. I made it so that I can used a multi-mount winch, but I just havn't got one yet (it's going on 3 years ) You can also bash it into the rocks as much as you want and not have to woory about it. You can see all the rock rash in the photo, but I still have a headlight and nothing to worry about
