That's a lot of things! Cool. What kind of mount did you use for your Garmin Mini?

The standard spine mount that's available for the Garmin devices including the Mini. It include the RAM ball to link to the standard RAM arms.

HD front bumper was prepped and primed Tuesday evening. Painted yesterday. Today, I installed the winch.
Waiting until my son has time to help me install the bumper. Hopefully, that'll happen this coming weekend.

Thanks.
I've got a overhead hoist and floor-jack in my shop, but I'll need my son's help to hold it steady while mounting. I need to clear a path in the shop to drive the truck inside. It's so darn messy. I'm working on a set of sliders and rebuilding a DANA 44 with locking diff to install later. My tractor is also parked in the shop(24' X 24") , so it can get crowded real quick-like.

I hear ya. I don't have a place to work on my rig at all, so I am having to have mechanics do almost everything. I was going to rent a storage unit to work out of but I live rural and everything is full up. When one opens up I think I will rent it full time if they will let me work out of it. Some places wont allow mechanical work being done.

That was smart thinking ! Looks sharp. How did the roof get in that condition. What year model ? Will you replace the roof seals (in the groves on the roof) ?

I had a colonoscopy then went home and saw FedEx dropped off my new Freedom Offroad UCAs so I took a nap then installed them. Install was relatively easy but GM placed the nuts for the UCA bolts inside the spring mount so I had to unbolt my coilovers to shift them around and make room for a wrench. If not for that step I'd have been done in 30min instead of 2hrs. lol
I'm testing these very inexpensive units to see how they hold up to abuse. They run $380. The next cheapest brand is $750 and they only go up from there. I have not read of any failures yet.
