It's just where we're sitting at, I'm standing at the base of one hill and the base of the other hill is about the same distance from the rig as I am, each hill is about 100-120 ft high, it was clear and only a quarter moon that was already setting, it just looks like pitch black because where the pic was taken.

That is what I was orginally gonna do, but Russell said to drop the tank, which was pretty easy (since he did most of the work!) A good thing too, where I had marked the the spot to cut was all wrong too.

Got to give the recon winch a good test over the weeend,

This is about the point Dan lost traction in Dark Thunder, there is a "hump" right there and with 2wd it just could not get the traction there, could not hit it at a higher speed due to the area.



The test completed,



We ran maybe 50 to 60 feet of line out, and used a 1:1 pull, handled it like a champ

Yes, we dropped the tank, it was not as bad as I thought it would be dropping it, worked out pretty good. We had air tools and floor jacks, and of course Russell himself!

The winch pulled at, just a wild guess, maybe 15 ft per minute. ( I would pull for around 30 seconds and then cool for the same amount of time) I used the hard harness because I couldn't find the wireless(found it on the bottom of the console, dur)
