Well it looks like I'm going to stretch out the deuce and put the 5ton spare tire carier with a 109 box. Picked up a rear m35 frame from John(6x6guy) over the weekend.

The only way to install that system and NOT have it rob power from your engine is to use a gas generator to power it. Even powered from alternator will rob engine power...its not "free spin" all the time, the more demand the more drag on an alt.

Pick up a complete winch set up for the deuce today. Just have to clean it up and get it mounted. I think I'm going to need to get a new cable for it anyone know where to get one for a good price?

I have the frame ready to go on the back of my deuce now. We are going to do a 45% cut and double frame it with 3 foot of C channel on the inside of the frame.

Not sure on the turning radius yet will see after I hook up the brakes. I'm going to try to get the 109 shop van box on it next week.

Now comes the fun part cleaning and painting. Driving home last night you can really feel how under powered the deuce is with all of the extra weight. Looking foward to putting in the Cummins after Poofstock.
