That is true...it me and a buddy that has a very complete auto
shop 6 1/2 hours to modify/fabricate and install the grill guard
to accomodate the body lift. It would not have taken so long
except that I knew it had to withstand the stresses of winching.
When I first got my truck I looked at alot of bumpers and grill
guards for one that could handle a winch and choose the Manik
because of the fact it is a one piece and I the quality looked
pretty good.
If I had it to do over, I think I would work something out with
Kyle at Kennesaw Mountain ( www.kenmtn.com ) on making one of his
Wincher front bumpers for a Gen III Dak...I have ordered two of
his front NoseGuards for Jeeps and one Multi-Carrier...and he was
able to make them a custom fit with my three inch body lift on my
Wrangler.
