I built a multi mount for my 8274 on my CJ. I have moved it once and it was pretty entertaining. I can use it if I have to. I probably won't be doing it again anytime soon. Seems you are never on flat ground when you need to move it.:D

My main uses of this setup is probebly to load disabled stuff onto my trailer and I think to pull out jeeps on trails to narrow to turn charlie around on it should be ok for this right
The jeep owner can put it on the hitch if he wants pulled out bad enough

Yeah, they're heavy... my 8274 is bolted firmly to the front of the jeep... no way in heck I'd try moving it and its 150ft of wire rope while stuck. :)
