pig weighs over 6k.
Mine is about 6,200. Flat towing a long way with big tires may cause some additional tire wear. When I used to do it a lot with 40's, I noticed a lot more tire wear. Now I only flat tow it from Moab to Ouray, so no big deal.

If you have an Atlas 2 speed, they say you can only tow it about 500 miles without stopping and putting it in gear and running it. The 4 speed Atlas cannot be flat towed at all. The Jeep transfer case is OK to flat tow.

Took advantage of the nice weather and installed a Baja Designs 30" S8 I grabbed from @Nick@Apollo-Optics during his black Friday deal. Great guy to work with and answered all the questions I had. Followed @JustRaptor1 thread for the install and was a great help. Just waiting on my Deutsch connectors to come in to wire it up.

how hard was it to drill the bed and get to underside to mount it? I am looking to add a bed spare tire mount.

It's not difficult - just measure twice, it'll minimize the pucker factor when you drill the bed. It's about an hour to install. At least one friend is needed to hoist it up into the bed, better to have two. It'll easily hold a spare tire, and having it slide all the way out makes removing said tire relatively easy. If you put the spare on the slide closest to the cab side, that also helps with load distribution since much of the weight will be above and forward of the rear axle (versus behind it, like the OEM location).
