I love it man that is what mudding is all about, none of that puddle splashing that some refer to as mudding...
You should definitely go with a Ranch Hand bumper replacement and winch if you plan on tackling holes like that..
Keep the mud flying bro

 

Thanks ill have a look at the ranchand, I dont really like the diamond plate and how it doesnt match the curves of the truck. Also I would prefer something that doesnt go up over the headlights and grill. Anyone have any suggestions?

 

I agree

 

If it had Limited slips on both ends, skid plates, and a good set of mud tires. I would. As long as the insurance covers stupidity that is.
