Yeah, the picture they have with the Chevy puts the winch
in a good location, but that's a custom bumper. I figure
that if you were going to adapt a kit for the Dak that the
recievers would have to be placed in the lower grille,
therefore possibly limiting approach angles depending on
how far it stuck out and how much lift you have on the
truck . . . obviously not a problem for you Bernd with the
Fabtech. I know it would limit me because I've actually
scraped my old license plate bracket (it's now removed) at
the base of a steep climb. Anyway, just wanted to clarify
what I was babbl'n about.
