D@mn you Doc, now I might just have to go ahead and get that winch. I see it weighs about 67lbs. according to the Smittybuilt website so it could work on a cradle. The Warn Powermate weighs in at something like 110lbs. if memory serves.
I was all set to get the Superwinch LP8500 at Farm & Fleet for $400...
i recommend stepping up to the sythetic for the weight savings, especially on a cradle mounted winch. i have always run it and when i got the powerplant i could barely lift the box. when i took the steel rope out of the new winch i could then lift it with one hand... amazing difference.

Here is a couple of pictures of the air connections under the front left of my Motor Home. I put quick disconnects in the three air ports so that I did not have to screw in the male end of the air line every time I wanted to use it. By the way, I thought the two air tanks normally were regulated to hold 80 psi, actually they each hold 120 psi all the time. I aired up a flat tire in about 30 seconds using the hose today.
