Yep...easiest way is model in cad if you have the material density then most cad will output one of the moment of inertia...hand calcs r possible too...roarks stress and strain should have it in the tables

Depends on how deep in the mud your stuck...full tire under mud is like 4x IIRC

In theory the overall weight doesnt matter...its a matter of the location of the weight...dont believe me? Go stand on the center of a mrrry goround and then on the outside...u can at that point experience that thing called inertia

With a MT a jack or 2 and or a cherry picker will do it...the at was much heavier so i bought a jack at hF for $200 and was well worth it
Ive done the same with helping a guy in a parking lot in college with a strap thru the floor and a guy on each side pulling...it was interesting
But this is by far the way to go...wish i woulda spent this $ years ago

Basically any vg block will work...i had an altima in mine for a short time....change over oil pan, dipstick tube, mtg brkts and intake and u should be good to go...some folks have had issues with the crank snout and water pump...i ran a 2wd hardbody water pump instead of changing out the timing cover and it had to.have the longer neck on it which the 2wd hb had

Ive got the older style badlands 12k winch and its worked great...only issue i had was i didnt unspool it and check the bolt holding it to the spool so first time i used it i sheared the bolt off...i drilled and tapped it over and used a larger bolt...luckly that day my buddies 10k warn and 2 other jeeps were able to pull me up
Where i was stuck:
Where it sheared the bolt:
Perspective of what it pulled the rear wheels over...keep in mind im locked in the rear and it was just slick as snot...got the front up but couldnt get the rears over
I havent had any more problems out of it since i fixed it
