Didn't ask, didn't get them.
I am kind fussy about fab issues to be honest.
As you noticed, from your ride in, and pulling out, there were some issues to be addressed.
Great winch deck, no doubt, I have made a couple mods after seeing my bumper pull like string cheese. As you know, your original design left to much out there.
Not sure about adding your frame plates, I could have been on the rag when that issue was addressed.
Instead of a fuss, I added several mods that made the winch deck more functional to my needs. Thus after you pulling out those Hummers in Moab. If you remeber, I got my deck while you were on your way out.
I got mine and mentioned the forward pull during my tests. Thus while you were in MOAB. I know you didn't understand what I was explaining, and thought I had mounted it wrong.
I am sure when you pulled those folks out, reading your post, than seeing you address the same issue, you understood what I was talking about.
Using your deck, I cut the bottom off. I extended the bottom and have added four 90' brackets, two for each side of the frame.
Instead of adding the winch weight to the deck, I have added it to the frame.
