Thanks everyone.

I believe I see two different winch types.
No that's the same winch, only 1.

Is it just me or did the truck go from IFS to SFA while making this bumper?
I don't know what you're talking about, it looks the same to me...
When I started the bumper, I wasn't planning on doing the SAS.

Brian, I've thought of the theft thing too. I'm going to see if anybody makes a lockable hitch pin that is long enough to clear everything. If not, then I'll figure something out.

There are a total of 8 bolts, 4 in tension and 4 in shear, with an option for a 9th in the center. I'm not sure if I want to put that one in though since it will be taking a disproportionate amount of the load. The 8 bolts use the factory captured nuts, but the ones in tension have been reinforced with a 1/4 inch plate like the front range reinforcement. On a side note, it's fricken hard to find metric graded bolts around here. I had to special order those from Fastenal and all they had were those allen head bolts.
