Not sure, they didnt tell me anything about the truck. But it looks like 41" Irok radials on 20" Procomp extreme alloy 6089's.

There is no website for Denver off Road bumpers, but you can call Layne himself at: (970) 464-5566. He is very helpful and can build you just about anything you want.

Now that's what I'm talking about!!! I agree that the lights on top, whilst nice, are not the most visually appealing but I definitely lik ethe way the stuff looks painted! I think this will be the route I go. Hopefully I won't be waiting 2 months for the bumpers like I did for my H2!!

so cal, thats ok in my book. I have a 10.5k hydraulic milemarker winch and I know that it will out pull a warn 12k all day long. The 10.5k hydraulic will outpull all day long a warn 16.5. Buddy has a 16.5 on his 05 dodge, and we have pulled out trees and stumps together to clear his yard. The milemarker just keeps on going. 100% duty cycle, his would have to cool and both batts couldnt keep up. Only one time did his not pull out a tree. I hooked to mine and it yanked right out. Now, I dont know if his batts were horribly low, but I pulled it out and he didnt. My winch is 3 ton less. He was impressed. I knew it all along though. Just trying to say that milemarkers are awesome. I have had this winch on 3 different trucks for 8 years with absolutely no rebuilding and no problems. It probably has 100 hours on it.

The Mile Marker Winches are definitely superior and nothing beats a Hydraulic if you plan on using it hard or for long periods of time! I loved my 12k on the H2.

Comparing a hydraulic winch to an electric winch is like apples and oranges. Big difference. Electric is nice in some instances, say if the vehicle is not running for one reason or another. Hydraulic is nice because it takes very little electrical power and you can run them all day long without stopping.
I just got my 16.5ti Warn for the diesel, and I will be running the Milemarker 12k hydraulic in my big Dodge. The reason I went with the Warn 16.5 for the diesel is just the sheer pulling ability. A heavy truck needs a big winch. My truck weighs right at 8000 lbs so a 10k or 12k winch would not be adequate for me if I got stuck just up to the diffs in mud, let alone higher than that.

You would be suprised to see what a 12k hydro winch can pull out. If stuck up to the diffs, I want the hyrdo. Only time I would want an electric is when I drive vehicle in river and it stalls my truck. But that will prob never happen.

FYI, and FWIW, inside word from a MM rep last summer was that
a) their hydraulic winches are under rated by ~40%, and
b) they'll be introducing a higher rated version, perhaps 18k, end of this year or so (and the arms race goes on)
of course most projects are delayed along the way, and haven't decided yet if I need to go that extreme...
I did ask about the chance of breaking a cable if things are significantly under rated -
he kind of rolled his eyes and said that the cables are usually pretty under rated as well, but to watch those chains!
