Ok, so I've got the car prop on order and the "pathological flyer" licence plate. I thought it might be fitting to add a "powered by Lycoming" sticker to the side.
You'll need two, one for each fender. After all, your 1.8L 4-cyl makes 180 hp, just like an O-360, except the O-360 weighs less, spins at 1/3 the RPM, and uses pushrods and mags and a carb instead of overhead cams with a fancy variable cam ma-jig and coil-on-plug ignition and sequential multi-port fuel injection.
Scott, my truck has a front mounted receiver for a receiver-mounted winch. It's there so that if my driveway really gets that bad (which it does), I can pull myself up it and get to work in the morning. Also useful, as Mari said, for tugging airplanes, although I have not used it for that purpose yet. I ought to! See here:
That's the winch, and this is the front of the truck without it. Note the 2" box receiver. It's hard to see, but I have the pin through it and it's in the center of that gap to the right of the blue thing (power connector for the winch):
Yes, I drive one of the few vehicles on the road that gets worse fuel economy than a good number of airplanes.
The front mount wench is another story entirely, and not one to be discussed in polite company.
