Kyle, I love the cluster hooks through the holes in the wheel idea! I’m going to keep that in my mental toolbox! With the materials the lower control arms are made out of these days and the fact that there are usually only two attachment points to the subframe/cradle, pulling off the wheel is probably one of the strongest places
Kyle I use my old Samsung Galaxy S8+ cell phone for a dash cam, and everything else. It sees in the dark 50 times better than any of my dedicated video camera's. I mount them about 6 to 8 inches from the windshield. You will be surprised how well it can see from nothing but the headlights. It you have 4 year old or less smart phone give it try.
Another good recovery. You appear to have been getting lots of rain down there ( I say down there because I’m up here in Canada LOL ) and some muddy recoveries. I guess the slippery conditions help you when pulling the vehicle sideways?
I assume you’re referring to the name Lil Jim. My grandfathers name was Jim and he started our company in 1977. He was a Ford guy through and through and loved red and chrome so when I restored this truck I decided to name it after him, and when ever I go to add lights or chrome to any truck my dad always calls me Lil Jim.

Thanks Richard! It can help some but can also cause some challenges due to mud building up on the tire when relocating a vehicle sideways.
