Reason I ask,Spib is,my car does not have a locking steering wheel.I guess you are still using your factory column with the lock in it.I was wondering if I could rig up some sort of bracket of off the backing plates for the front drums where I could stick a pipe in it and direct the car in while I work the winch from the front.But I don't know if it will even be a problem in the first place.You know how it is when you're new at something.Try to figure out all the variables

I dont lock the wheel, when you go from door to floor of trailer you have to go slow and careful, so tire dont turn,but after that it goes straight in and when I unload, its the same, un do straps, let winch go in reverse and straight out
