THanks man, for the compliments.

I have that same winch bumper on my super duty, with a superwinch sitting in there, and LED lightbars across the bottom... I think it's a 26" in the center, and then four 8"... two on either side of the long one, which are mounted angled to follow the contour of the tray.

the thing that I really dug about that set up is how modular it is.. I put a bull bar (a real one, not the flimsy tin foil ones) on mine, and I'm considering going ahead and putting a full brush guard on it- they bolt right up... it's a pretty reasonable price for a solid piece of gear that can be used as a base to expand on...

for what it's worth, a friend of mine is a master welder- dude can fabricate anything he puts his mind to... he couldn't fab one as nice as this ones made for the cost of material.. he measured and drew it out, and went and priced material- so that isn't just saying that, it's the truth. I think I paid $275 for mine off amazon, and spent another $125 for the bull bar and hooks.

I agree, that is why I bought that winch tray, it was def. a good base to add some custom tube work to expand the bumper. DO you have any pics of yours? Please post a link or pics. I would like to see his work.

oh, it's all bought- mine, anyway... my buddy wanted his own, but after taking all the measurements off of mine and setting out to build his own he quickly learned he couldn't build it near as cheap as he could buy it... I don't see a lot of these around, and I think that's kinda strange, because they are about the biggest bang for the buck out there I think.

here is the only pic I have right now of mine:

Got the Snorkel installed on the camper truck.. took 2 hours to install perfect fit and finish

Finally got the tool boxes installed.

Still have to Fab up the surfboard racks and the rack for the SUP, and a mount for the spare tire. The custom made water tank that will mount on the bed (under the Arctic Cat) will be here next week.

Any suggestions?

Fold down ladders to access the Camper installed on both side of the front of the trailer. DONE.

Surfboards, and SUP installed on the upper rack. DONE

Spare tire mounted and bolted into place. DONE.

Waiting on the Cargo Rack to be delivered from Northern Tool today, and will be fabbing that on the front of the nose on the trailer for more storage/firewood etc.

TIme to load it down with gear etc. and fill up the tanks and take her for a ride down the highway to see how she feels

I think that is it
