Jason-
This is off-topic but I remember reading somewhere that there was at some time a '94-'97 project truck or something like that. I've looked in the contents part of the site be have been unable to find anything related to that.
If there is/was such a project truck, where would I find the information for it? Or is this just some figment of my imagination?
Thanks!

I also have the WAAG bars. I put them on about a year ago. I also had problems with the bars. The holes in the sidetubes where drilled in the wrong spot. WAAG people where very nice but I had to drive the bars over to a shop about 45 min from the house to confirm that the holes were wrong. They sent me a second set but they were also off, just not as bad. This time it was an hour and 15 min drive to the shop I ordered them from and they refused to return them instead the pried them into place. I was not happy with the service but after 8 weeks of hassle I gave in. The bars have been fine so far and finish has held up well. I have been pretty happy with the bars so far. I would recomend to only get them if the dealer is CLOSE BY. WAGG will not deal direct with you only through dealer.

The WAAGS are great, frame mount, etc. You gotta occasionally tighten the steps fasteners. My only dislike is the steps which are aluminum are slippery when wet, gotta hold onto the steering wheel. The paint wears off the steps and it does not take long.

They are great guard rails, just ask my wife who backed into them (she said she did not see the truck, can you imagine that!)

Overall, I like them.

Jason,
First of all, you gotta wash that truck buddy! I know its winter, but still....

Actually, I'd like to know your thinking on why you chose the winch mount that you did. I always though a front reciever and a big yet portable mount winch was the ideal solution. Its on the front if you need it there, the back if you need it behind you, and even on a flatbed trailer if you need stuff pulled onto it. And locked up securely when you don't need it at all. I don't have either yet, which is why I was curious about your choice.
