Thank you guys!
I have some more photo, if it's not boring. But here is winter. (here too), and I have vacation. I have time to post.
I wrote there are douple pipes in some point of the bumper.
The shiny iron is inside.


Under costruction:



It's right:


I painted with red (professional pics from Paint) the bumper where is double. The towing point with .I don't know what's the name...the omega in the towing point... so there the towing point has double joint to both pipe. (inside and outside too)

Clevis, or shackle.

Where is your spare tire? Is it inside the cargo box?

Some small extra in my truck.

The most important: the blue basket is my office. Stamp, papers,plans etc This is all. Without blonde secretary. This is the safety. lol
And there is the best. A Nissan Titan cap. From mdawg98tj. YES from this mdawg from here. He sent me. From USA to Hungary. It's big thing. Very big.



The middle box (what's his name?) is bad in all midsize here. Too low.
I repaired.




This a meter-counter. I was on 3 race, and I thought I will on more. But now I interest lot better the trips. Maybe it will be spare. (lol the sender (is on cardan) is from a BMW X5 (it seems the x5 has one good part)


and my decal:
Nothing strange thing just my outsider nature. In Europe the Ford has "Feel the difference" slogan. Soooo booooooooring!!!!!!!!! Your is better.

after the snorkel project


over the first diff.lock project (no pics)

Here is the first winch building. Stock bumper+E9000 MileMarker.
The stock bumper stayed up. I know it's not a hard offroad piece, but it's strong (unfortunately a volvo s40 knows ) and it's not ponderous. I have already 300kg-661lbs extra weight.
And just a rem:
here officially every offroad accessory is illegal. I don't know exactly the rules in US, but here if the police has bad day, you get penalty because the extra lights, big -ET rims, custom bumpers, roofrack, ...anything.
And If your truck is on the reliability trial (in every 2 year) it's a nightmare to all non-stock rig. Of course everbody has answer the problem .....$$$$
Ok back to the winch:

The biggest problem is the intercooler. It hasn't got place near the winc. I did not want to put it in front of the other coolers. It will be a top mounted IC. It's not new under sun. (under the hood )


Actualities:
We have to rebuild the CB aerial, the Hella lights, and 2 tow points. And of course the IC problem. Next week.
