    Not only that, but the extra torque the lower gears provide worsens the potential for breakage. BigSwede is running 35" tires and lockers on his Troop though...

    Not that I've heard of, unless you go SAS...

    Some people use superwinch manual hubs as "fuses"...creating an inexpensive & easy to change "weakest link"...in theory anyway.
