   Glad to hear you made it home OK, Tom! Hopefully it was worth the
journey, given the small amount of offroading we did. Thanks very
much for the 'cuda and for bringing the "green slime" - good stuff! :-)

   Sure, I don't mind. That's sort've like a badge of honor, isn't it?
"I broke my truck offroading..." Ok, so in my case its more like a
badge of stupidity, or at best, forgetfulness. ;-) Too bad nobody
got any video of the winching - that was the best aspect of the whole
ordeal. (i.e. my truck doing something right) ;-) That was also
the exact reason why I went with an electric winch instead of a
hydraulic - if my truck had to be running to operate the winch
I'd probably still be in the pit. ;-) I honestly have no idea
how long I could winch but with 2,000 cranking amps behind the
M12000, it didn't seem to have a problem on that pull.
