I am TERRIBLE with names. this guy used to run with CTB and hung out with PJ alot. super nice older guy with a beard. had a FJ40 with what I remembered as a center mounted 8274. Id like to see how he routed that cable. unless Im totally remembering that wrong.

IIRC, it routed to the rear first, through a snatch block, then through a series of snatch blocks (for direction change only) back to the front bumper. It would do 1:1 in the forward direction, and if you pulled the rear snatch block, it was 2:1 pulling backward. There was a fairlead on the back, and the snatch block was outboard of that.
