Paul thank you so much for sharing this solution. It will save me much time and enable the use of the original levers -- which is important to me.

Now for the questions:

1) Can you run the MU2 winch with NV-4500 & cummins? Does the shaft fit properly between the frame & bellhousing/exhaust/motor? I'm assuming you are using the Chelsea 352 PTO. Maybe you are using that hydraulic setup you built.

2) How did you fab the transmission mount for the NV-4500?

3) What are the pros & cons of the divorced setup vs a married Atlas transfer case (or equivalent) to a Dodge 4x4 NV-4500? Clearly using the stock transfer case is way cheaper and works with the PW speedo. But I've heard that the PW transfer case wasn't designed for long highway trips (no vents / overheats). The motor I'm considering puts out 420 lb/ft of torque and I'm going with a centered rear axle.

Thanks again Paul for all of your shared insights. You have been a tremendous asset to me and others on this forum.
