Looks a good ute!
I'm about to go 32's or 33's on mine,
with the -19 and the 11.5 wide tyres how much clearance do you have in the front from the bullbar mount on the chassis?

I've got -22 and 31x10.5 and there isn't a lot of room

I thought my alloy one was bad after Brian Howat built a winch tray for it out of 6mm steel. Carried it into his workshop under one arm with the winch in the other. Asked for help to carry it back to the van after mods

they are far better than my standard lights, and only $110 delivered, but my standard lights were full of mud and water, reflectors were damaged and was only using 60/55 bulbs, so hard to give a fair comparrison
