Thanks man! and i used 3 heavy coats. You can see everything clearly from 500+" so i am legal. But for reverse i was not worried since i have 100 watt HID simulate roof mounted fog lights (slim line). But some people tape over the clear reverse portion of the lense and paint the rest.

ended up pulling him from the front once we were able to jack the front free of the suction being caused.

btw we used a rock that was about 18" in diameter, just real nice and flat, as a base for the high lift and look at how much is still sank.... see this is what i mean by quick sand
