I like it. That is a lot of extra dead wight to carry around, but I end up throwing sand bags in the back for winter anyhow.

Where can I find one of those?

I hate those things. Looks just as odd as leaving hitch tongues in when not in use, just not my style. Not hating

I got the shackle from work. I'm in the mining industry. And I'll try and get some pics of my front shackles. Basically they are an eye bolt(again from mining)which is attached to a mount my buddy made.(At the mine)

Oh, a custom made D-ring hitch. I suppose it has a 50,000 lb capacity.

It's a bit overkill I guess but it's black so it doesn't stand out much. Whatever puts wind in your sail, good looking setup you got above that. I hate seeing that white sh++ covering your truck, reminds me it's coming here soon enough.

Yup, got close to 1 ft on the ground, but we are supposed to get warmer weather this weekend. Good thing, as my rig needs tie rod ends, and I got Lightning head, corners, and fogs to install, with HID's.

And thank God I'm not anywhere near the puk road.....no shortage of ditch divers where I am tho, I've used my tow strap quite regularly in winters past.
