GA requires a commercial 26K tag,but fees aren't too bad.
Question on winch power...I got a Sherpa 25k winch wired for 24v, still trying to cipher a physical attachment to the front and/or rear shackle lugs ala towbar with power from the NATO coax. I am using the stock 6P battery setup...what are the odds it would work ?

Scope out what @chucky has on the front of his truck.

Winches; front, back and frame mounted.

I'd like to see pics and ideas if ya'll have them. I had some ideas for mounting but I am going to keep the front glad hands.

Another guy @Gunny 0369 with a Sherpa has a warning about how you want to bolt it to the truck.

I think I am going to config mine into a bumper mount with closed lid. I’ll have a foers setup with a similar in place dummy cable that I can swab through just to keep the main synthetic line clean. And pull it through when I need rear recovery. Just an independent thought: I don’t bow down to...

Nice winch, those Sherpa are. I a lil newton law and amps draw specs, I think you will be fine. I ran a dedicated 4/0 or 0000guage to the front, and want to insert the winch inward of the D rings so it doesn't protrude too far and I can still open the cab, planning to weld tabs to the cross beam and bolt the winch cradle to it. and the bumper

"you get what you pay for", and I believe that completely, but...

Yikes, kind of pricey, M1078MAN, (but then I am cheap); are you impressed for the cost?

Its stout and very compact for the whopping 4k AMPS, I haven't tried the jump start function, like the battery pack feature.. Really got it for the multi-weather environment and cold weather capability, built in temp sensor and internal heater You can charge from wall, USB or other 12V source.

Good addition to the tool box, I think

Hey all, I am sure you all understand, life has a way of stepping in the way or taking priority. New job, travels, ailments, family, friends, weather and time ect ect.

Reis TB still has a beating heart, just absolutely need to figure out how to add time to the 24 hour clock. If you have the instructions, please pass them my way.

Again, sorry about the lack of COMS.

Can't beat Time or Weather. Got to Let Go, I guess, M1078MAN!

The Zen thinking is "Do" by "Not Doing", but you can get headaches trying to figure that one out.
