No one in these pics seems to have a front receiver mounted Winch?  All have been on a bumper mount?  anyone tell me why they don't like the versatility of the receiver mount/  Is the winch being mounted to strong for a receiver mount?

I think most people looking for a winch setup are looking for a permanently mounted winch solution with eye appeal, and receiver winches don't really fall into either of those categories.  Its a vain way of looking at it and I may be completely wrong but most Silvy's, being $40K-$50K, are daily drivers and most owners are probably trying to keep their trucks looking a certain way.  Front mount receiver winches don't always fall into "that look".  However, 20 years from now when the trucks aren't worth much, I bet you see a lot more liberties being taken with mounting solutions.

It's from Alpha Foxtrot Designs. Honestly I can't recommend it, it has issues staying tight on the roof. I actually have it off currently.

I contacted them. They have since discontinued for the reasons you have described. Shucks!

They aren't bead locks.  Not meant for serious offroading.  But, arguably, neither is this truck.  Too big, too wide, and too long, imo.  If you want a serious offroader get a Jeep Wrangler.  The Trail Boss is more for cruising down well-traveled dirt roads to go camping or hunting.  Definitely not for desert running or rock crawling.

Has anyone added storage in the tailgate? I have seen it on different vehicles, so I am thinking of doing it to mine. There is actually lots of room on the bottom with a divider from the opening components above.
