    Silly me...I thought I would remove the lug nuts with a breaker bar and cheater pipe.

    I once had a 8 foot cheater pipe on a 3/4" breaker bar and I weighed 340 and was bouncing and couldn't get a single one broken loose. I recommend everyone have a geared lug wrench or better to remove lug nuts

    M1010 for my daughter the field biologist

    Sounds like a great plan. As to the winch a 24v would be the best way and just add a NATO slave port to the winch and use the slave cables to power it, and would definitely add the synthetic line.

    Best Lift Kit for m1009?
