I asked @yotasavg to come up to the shop for a HWM (hidden winch mount) build day as he is the closest "stock" 100 in the area I know of.... These mounts are becoming more and more popular and since I sold all of my bumper designs.... might as well make a new product.

The stock cover is re-installed using 100% of the stock bumper tabs. I had to add the two center tab brackets and will supply the hardware to attach these points as well as new 10.9 grade frame/HWM bolts with the kit.

He also asked if we could take a ride in my old Esme rig as its there for a custom front and misc R&D items for the 100. He was interested in what the Tough Dog and TourFlex system was all about. I'll let him express his opinions on this and the HWM and working with me.

It was a pleasure working with you today. You and Dewey are welcome anytime.

I'll let @yotasavg comment from here..

A few pics.

Ballpark price? I'm definitely in the market for one of these.
 
Does the front license plate fit back in the stock location or will it have to be left off?

Two options...

1) Cascadia flip up plate holder (or similar, I'm working on one but will be a bit before mine is ready)

2) Drill two new holes approx 1.5" down in the plate and attach. I prefer this method as it's cheaper and the plate is now fully supported higher.The plate will rest fully on the upper an lower portion of the air flow opening.

Atleast have the decency to put some TT recovery points on that rig!

Great work. Great price point.
 
Thanks for everything @reevesci, I had a great time up there (and Dewey, too).

First I just want to say it was really fun to watch Jason work. From laying under the truck with a note pad, to bolting up the first prototype you see pictured in short order, I was impressed. He continued to blow my mind by making use of all the original bumper tabs - really well thought out, and mounts like it's from Toyota. Obviously it pairs perfectly with a set of the TT recovery brackets. I'm working on painting everything today.

I wanted to mention that I was also able to pull this off the truck when I got home without help and with the bumper intact. Remove the two middle tabs (Jason supplied new hardware for those as there's no longer a nutsert for them) and it drops right out the bottom. Obviously with a winch in there you'd need help, or a floor jack I suppose.

About the license plate, not sure what I'll do yet, but I like the idea of drilling new holes in it. Keep it simple...

And to put another positive word out there for the Tough Dog / TourFlex system... Esme rides like a dream compared to my truck. I learned yesterday that I'm not sitting at stock height, and I've actually got a bit of lift despite thinking I was just correcting 20 years of sag. I definitely know I'll be in the market for Tough Dog suspension in the future.

Ordered! One question- earlier in the thread you said 375 powdered and shipped. It charged me 15 for shipping. It's fine either way, just wondering if I missed something on checkout. Thanks!

Any item on the webstore over 100$ now has insurance and a "light" 15$ shipping and handling charge.
