Nice strap.

$70 is a rip off for a shackle & receiver.
Here is mine from Central 4WD minus the nice red & black paint I did to mine.

$35.74...

Very safe...First time I ever used my winch, it was just to test it out April of '02 on Jim (mytruck's) red Toyota.

as for the CB, i'm not sure if i want the cobra that has all the controls on the handset as seen here http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...391059-7016014

or the front firing single din size CB with base unit

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...391059-7016014



and for antennas... i dont know if i want a magnetic antenna (this would probably be best for me) or if i want something secured permanitly
