Yeah, a big boy winch... I feel like I should have a coming of age party or something... ;)

Building a capable off roader is easy, building a street legal one that you can wheel and then drive daily is the challenge...

Looks good! Best 8274 install I've seen on a JK (only?) Considering the size of your rig, I think a good snatch block will be mandatory for tough self recoveries, but not necessary most of the time.
Okay, we're a little crazy to have a Duramax for a daily driver. But if we go off our meds, we might wind up in a Prius.

Now wire a dash control, if you have not. Best investment against a failed remote. Ask me how I know. And a spare solenoid is not a bad thing. You'll be happy with the upright winch. :thu:

8) Great looking winch and clean install Lance.

I second Lee's suggestion of in cab controls.
