    New to the forum and for any forum. Yes, I will read terms and conditions after the intro. I am a Toyota guy. Owned 1995 Camry, 1998 Forrunner (SR5), 2009 Tacoma (SR5) and now a 2020 Tundra (SR5). I’ve been skimming the forum for a couple of months now and have picked up on some great ideas for my SSM. I sent a line to a member already as he has/had a Hooke Road Bumper. What winch does/did he get? The cavity of the bumper doesn’t have much height to support a winch that doesn’t have the capability of removing the control box and I want a 10,000lb+. Anyways, I have done plenty of mods already -big one and small ones. Looking for winch then tire and suspension to follow. I’ll put some picks up after but this is where I’m at now.

    Welcome, for winches the usual culprits are Smittybuilt, Warn, ComeUp, and Badlands (Harbor Freight). I'm not sure if the control box can be relocated on the badlands but the rest have that ability (all be it usually for an added cost).

    Never heard of Comeup (more research now). Warn (Expensive), Smittybuilt (mixed reviews) and Badlands -I tried to get their 10,000 w/synthetic rope but that is one of the ones that the box won't come off and couldn't fit in -came real close though. Thanks Steven. I'll create a thread on it when I get it squared away so all will know the choice I made. To help the next guy.

    Welcome, neighbor! Where did you get yours at? I had to go to Alabama to get this, that's after I ordered it 35 days in advance.
