Feel free to repost them here and I'll look at them. Shouldn't be a problem. I did see a few posts in this thread from you about a twisted drive shaft at the Gate Keeper.

Correct me if I’m wrong please. So if needing to be recovered on a slope my resistance will be 5500lbs.

Only if the slope is 90* would the "Grade Resistance" be the full weight of the vehicle.
