Welcome. Nice pics. If you're looking for ideas to mod your truck and want to upgrade things, this is the place. I'd venture to say some guys on here know their trucks better than they know their wives......:shock:

Then you need the winch & the cradle ? Or they just removed it & you have everything ?

They took your wheels, too. The PW wheels have grooves, creating a "beadlock.

? grooves like how can you post a pic? ik these arent the originals because they steel with chrome overs not the alloy i believe but this summer im putting rims on it anyways , i love all blackout look so im going with i think black motometals right now since the gf is getting a 4dr rubi so i gotta watch my money lol

I don't have any pics. The grooves are inside the wheel. The tire's bead sits in the grooves when the tire is mounted and inflated. The bead seats in the groove and keeps the tire on the rim when you air down for off-road.

Looks like you need the mount as well. It's a heavy forged steel piece. Very stout. The roller fairlead is part of it.

OR... You can go with the H2 wheels like i have which also have the internal bead lock built in.

That's a sure way to stop your forward progress.
