    I think you'll be fine with the recon winch personally. The T-max was bought because I got a really great deal on it and I was planning to install heavier duty running gear in the future. It's a bit big and hard to fit in behind the cladding. I had to chop the fan mount support and remove the stock electric fan and put in something more low profile. The winch is mounted right up against the very front frame crossmember right up against the radiator. It's pretty tight. Works like a champ though.
    The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on me.

    Sorry, I never saw your receiver kit before.
    So do you still have any? How much did you want?
    How much "tongue weight" could you mount?

    BigMeat hasn't logged on for a month, and his VX is for sale, not sure if he's going to be checking the forum any more...maybe try sending an email.
