It got better...
Installed a Warn winch bumper, Warn VR10 steel cable wince, and TRD Skid Plate.
Next up: Lift, Sliders, lighting, etc.
I need some electric or air tools.

Looks more like a choise to help others.

helped a guy install a winch on a Tacoma, has to remove the bumper and grill, but looked nice when finished.
Now, I'm looking for places to get stuck or find others stuck.
I debated both. Thinking steel line will be a little more rugged than synthetic for using around the house - dragging logs through the dirt / mud rock. May change down the line.
I've debated that setup with my Nissan Frontier and then with this 4Runner. I ruled it out for myself because the winch and cradle is a heavy sob to move around. Thinking I'd kill my back trying to get that into place where I need to self recover from the front.
The other issue with the 4Runner is mounting it inside the vehicle. Don't want a 100lb winch hitting me in the head in an accident. Would need to weld a receiver in the cargo area.
I still might do something like that on my Frontier.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Mine stays in my garage unless I'm going to be going out in the mountains or some other place that I might need it and then I just have somebody help me load it on...
But I used to leave it on my pickup on the front end of it. And like I said, if somebody needed it and I was too busy to go help them, I could just loan them the winch instead of having to loan them my pick up to...
Well,
That should mot be too difficult, given it's a Toyota.
Now a Jeep Wrangler?
Who needs a stinkin' winch?
I have the same set up on my truck...after having my winch (WARN X9000i) on several different trucks i prefer it in a multi mount to permanently mounted. Plus i can use it on the front or back. My winch is mostly used for utility work like dragging logs from the woods, but I have pulled a snow plow on a 3/4 ton up an embankment and recovered another truck that slid off the road during winter.
+1 it makes it so easy to transfer it from vehicle to vehicle, plus it's something that you can borrow to your friends when you're unable to help them. I don't know how many times I've borrowed my I went out to different people when I was not able to help them. Which helped them out immensely... in my opinion, it's the only way to fly
New Superduty?
Yes 2019, bought back on NY Eve....

Sounds like my Jeep Wrangler lift.
Four Quadratec Nitro 8.0 shocks plus the lift & beefier coil springs, tightened up the handling nicely. Glad you are pleased with your results.
