why would then not include the hitch pin? sounds like a failure waiting to happen...
Otherwise, something similar will probably make my recovery gear.

Stormy Kromers and Baffin boots! I have a pair of Baffin but no Kromer or Carhartt. Kromers are made by Jacquart Fabrics out in Ironwood but ya can find them all over. I think you need a Kromer!
I really don't think my accent is that thick. Roger's canuck accent has me beat any day! Jugg - did you hear an accent on me?? I will admit to saying "ou" words funny but that's it - house, about, out, etc.
I'm thinking rear recovery techniques will be key. Perhaps a few of us should have a recover hook to be able to install into the hitch of a stuck vehicle.
Also, anyone else in the run have a winch?
where do i acquire Krogers and Baffins? I feel like those are things i need to get before i head up...
What are you guys looking into winch wise? I have the Recon10,500 lb with synthetic rope. I used the outlaw winch mount. I am still working on a short write up and lots of pics. The install was a big pain in the arse, get a friend to help you. Also, if you are thinking of flanking the hawse with lights, buy the WSI bracket when you do the install. I think SDHQ makes a plate with a point to mount lights, but their plate is not as beefy as the outlaw plate.

Believe it or not I have a couple of serious questions..
1) since the size and weight of our trucks floatation is not going to be an option. So we are going to be plowing/bombing the trails. Is the lead truck going to switch out to cool off?
2) the front of our trucks have really open front ends. Are people installing winter shields to prevent snow clogged radiators?
3) since we will be pushing hard through snow all day, and having everything snow/ice covered over night, what about block heaters.
4) if we do go how many trucks will have winches, just in case.
5) the secret friday event in detroit going to be early? Might need to know to arrange more time off to make it up there in time.
