Thanks! olyelr there wasnt a winch hook on it so I'll have to acquire one. coder so far the axle locks and disconnect work if the lights can be believed. Cant say if the winch works yet as I just got the controller from the dealer (they forgot to give it to me when I bought the truck). I had a check engine light come on P0440 and P0456. Its persistent and comes back even if I reset it but I changed the fuel cap and it didn't solve it. The dealer is installing a new charcoal canister hopefully that will be it otherwise I'll have to keep searching for a leak. Other than that its pretty clean, doesn't look like its spent much time off road. I did add a tailgate keeper. I had an '01 Ram 1500 4x4 sport and lost a tailgate at the mall. Not doin that again.

Lost a tailgate? Meaning someone stole it?

Yeah exactly. I had no idea but people will drive around and just take a tailgate if they need it. It happened to my brothers tundra as well. $300 lesson for me. Now I figure this will at least slow em down.
