Welcome bud.... Nice machine that !!!!

Those recovery points look good and the "bashplate" ( yellow thing under the bumper )looks interesting. Post a few pics of that if you get a chance please.

Welcome Guy

Sure sounds like a well-rigged vehicle. Please tell us more about that front locker as well? Is it auto or selectable, and how does it work?
