Typically the steel cable will come with a roller fairlead and the synthetic line will come with the hawse one.

Cool. That's the one I have. So yours has limited-slip diffs too. You'll have a pretty capable rig with the bigger tires.

Looks good. I thought about going this route myself. Haven't decided what I want to do yet but that is definitely nice and clean looking.

Thank you. The install wasn't difficult at all and can be done by anyone with basic power tool skills and common sense lol. Very easy to follow directions

Looks good. How easy or hard is it to get to the controls?

Not hard at all I had to make an opening in the grill due to my lightbar location and I put the plug adapter near the rollers

Be careful with that stuff. Even if it DOES fix your leak, keep a close eye on your temps. That stuff can cause blockages too. After you run it through your system for awhile, I would change the tstat no matter what.

Will do but I had to remove the tstat prior to doing it

Cool ride bro.

Can you do a LS swap? Otherwise there are tons of Straight sixes that you can overhaul.

Do some good research. The V8 has a lot of power that you'll lose if you go to the I6, however, the I6 4.0 is a great motor. If you do go to the 4.0 you will probably want to re-gear.
