    Who has used a rear winch? Do you think it is necessary?

    Thanks everyone. The winch will likely stay for this trip (the future is unknown), and it’s interesting to read the different viewpoints.

    How far back from the frame rails should you go for habitat?

    Go for it! The frame is extended about 30-inches and holds a winch and the receivers. Find a builder who uses Total Composites and ask your questions. I can post more photos if it helps. The ddgoverland build looks well done (from my internet armchair).

    extended = 18-inch collapsed = ?? (can't measure as we have convex mirrors attached to the arms which prevents collapsing) These are ford mirrors, not aftermarket.

    Not So Subtle E350 Shuttle - 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed

    Wish we were your neighbors!!! I would also like to hear about the tires as we're considering 37's in maxxis or goodyear. Although you've probably already considered, one thing about a ladder is the offset from the body shell to allow enough space to create a platform for the foot versus a toe hold.

    egt wiring goes thru the rubber grommet below the steering column in the firewall. there's an existing hard-cased tube going thru the same grommet and we piggybacked on that.
