There are even sand anchors rated up to 15000 lbs. (if you are out on the dunes, or whatever.)
Didn't know you were I'll, feel better man!

I would definitely be ALOT easier to just swap from one receiver to another that bolting and in bolting that’s for sure!

yiuve always got great ideas!

ps hope your feeling a lil better!
I like the idea of being able to pull from either end of the truck. Granted, if the winch is on the front, and you decide you need it on the rear.... that could be fun, depending on circumstances.... But, I tried to just use my winch to get OTHER folks out of trouble. (though I did manage to put myself in various positions where I did indeed require my winch to get myself out......)

Feeling some better... Still not completely over it, but, getting there. Couple more days likely..... Thanks.
