spool?
What is involved in taking a spool off. Also Im looking to get a winch probably electric, but I heard it just drains your battery out. So then maybe a hydraulic winch right? Im not sure. Anyone have problems with electric winches?

As for removing a spool, you will need to get a carrier with the spider gears and associated pieces to bring the diff back to stock. Alternatively, you could get a detroit and just bolt your ring gear on that (although I'm not sure if it requires an parts from a stock Toy carrier). However, there is a lot of measurement and technical assembly that goes into putting together an axle, so unless you have the tools and know exactly what you're doing, I recommend getting a shop to do it.

I don't know what all you have, but I would trade a open third for your spooled third if you wanted to.
As for the winch, get an electric. You could always run dual batteries. I just installed a 12voltguy (www.12voltguy.com) dual battery kit this past weekend with an optima under the hood and a deep cycle marine battery in the back. Install was simple and it works well.
