Got it Wednesday-awesome. The bag is key to haul this heavy thing around...thanks for the opportunity.

I Like The Color!
Arrived on Wednesday. Great color:
We'll probably move it aft an inch and possibly use the FourTreks mounts bolted directly to the bumper. I'd hoped that the shaft would store within the EarthCruiser's MaxTrax compartment, but it is 5/8" too long. We need weight forward anyway, so the winch bumper is probably a good spot.

Hello Mike:
No the PullPal came that color - so I had the bumper painted to match.....
Actually the match in color was simply fortuitous. Usually those sorts of coincidences don't happen to us.
I'm impressed by the build quality of the PullPal and of the case. I thought the case was pricey at more than $70, but after having one in my hands and working with the restraint straps, the padding, the durable material, etc. I'm convinced the case is reasonably priced - not cheap, but not overpriced for what you get.
Thanks again to Will for setting this all up.

Not sure what you mean? Like too heavy for size rating? It's solid that's for sure. FedEx guy was like WTH is this thing!

Didnt mean to be cryptic...was wondering what the 'feel was like' hauling the 11K around. The 14K is one heavy piece. I called PullPal and they said that the 14K is just 7 pounds heavier than the 11K. (43pnds Vs 36pnds).

No prob, Mike. Upon first assembly and throwing it over my shoulder I had flash backs to humping an M3 tripod (for M2HB .50 machine gun) around or for those nautically inclined a long shank boat anchor!
I didn't know the weight difference between the 11k & 14K thanks. I think 36lbs over rough terrain will be more than enough challenge for me now hehe. Hopefully, speed won't be a requirement for any of my recoveries with it!

I was impressed with the demo during class at the expo last year, need to look at pulling the trigger myself.
