Damn that thing looks massive. The pinion is offset on that housing?

Looks great [emoji1360] the guys down there @ ECGS really know how to build them. I love my shaved sterling & KP HP Dana 60 they built for me!

I like the idea of the soft shackle snatch block.

I believe that is a pulley-less snatch block. So the rope goes through it and just rides on the smooth surface

Close, the blue aluminum piece is a pulley. You can't see the Grove in it in the picture. The winch rope goes over the pulley, and the pulley spins on the soft shackle.
The yellow block slides up to allow the hook to pass, then back down to keep the rope on the pulley.

You would need it to move as a pulley, otherwise you defeat the purpose of mechanical gain using a pulley...

I like the idea of soft shackles...I saw a couple guys wrap them on their front axle and hook their winchline to it as a suck down winch while trying to go up Widow Maker on Metal Masher last EJS (no, none of them made it...they pulled line)...the bottom of the hill was so badly dug out from buggys I decided to pass on it...
Rolled my housings under the chassis to get an idea of room. The axle is sitting about 5” lower than it will at ride height. I’ll have plenty of room between the axle and the gas tank.
