yea im gonna box it some. i gotta leave the hitch for recovery til i make some d ring mounts...

i broke my smittybuilt xrc8 yesterday pulling a full size chevy outa some mud, while i had a truck pulling me from rear...i broke the bolt that holds cable to spool. i fixed it just gotta put it back on.

it is by far the best free mod to do for ground clearance.
