your DMV let that plate go through? Must be a Jersey thing. Awesome
Is that a winch plate kit or a whole bumper?

Plate I made and welded into a reinforced stock bumper.
It has to be the QQ in front, I did it as a joke and got it.
Do you usually clear over it?

No it holds up pretty well. If I did the bumper again I’d clear it just because it takes a little more abuse.
Easy enough, that’s what I was thinking you had done
That’s a great looking setup! Very nice 40! I have a plate made up for my 8274 and was thinking the same thing using the stock bumper. My bumper has flat tow brackets welded on as well, So you can take the tow setup on & off. I like how you notched the V there looks awesome! I also see that you reinforced on outside.

I used a thick walled rectangle tube inside along with the plate. Also more attachment points to the frame and frame plates. I was going to add heavy shackle mounts that I could use as tow brackets but I was on a time crunch.
Nicely done I appreciate you sharing info and tips!
Mines wire tied to my trailer hitch right now. I live in the People's Republic of NJ as well.

Wet sanded and plastic polished the front turn signals using Novus 3 step plastic polish. Came out great!
Finally …

You got a friendly DMV guy when you registered this truck… I went for historic registration on Monday…had the two photos as required and they gave me a list why it was not eligible. Despite the shock absorbers (duh) The biggest issue was the winch.. I gave up…I have dealt with dmv for decades with my antique motorcycles and have made more return trips for stupid reasons and thought I had figured out all of the obstacles that could exist..but they keep making up new ones
THE Beauty OF ‘historic” tags at least in NJ is that you only pay the one-time registration fee, without the annual renewal. There are however limitations for driving..mileage limits are not really enforced but I can only imagine the story you tell if you try to explain that your on your way home from a car show at midnight….

Interesting, I had no issues with DMV, issue was with the insurance company as 1/4 of the 40 is missing due to rust, lol. I had to send numerous photos before approval.
