I am sure it is going to come in very handy for years to come.

A V bridle is also a good investment to consider for your winch, it will give you two points of contact on the frame and it will keep the pull on winch in the center line which will help the line spool around the drum correctly so it is not prone to bunching up at one end.

That unit is pretty cool because it can load vehicles with very low ground clearance with out worrying about wood blocks and what not.
thanks for all this, def. some options I should look into.

do you have a link, or pic of the 19.5 wheel idea you mentioned?

wonder what havoc smaller tires would play with gear ratio and such..?
