I have the 5 footer too and I use it as my winch at the mo. I keep it in pieces, the winching kit comes with a clip to replace the pin in the foot, so the big bit with all the levers and the foot go in a bag, the handle and the rack go behind the seat bases and the rack fits nice and snug without moving about, you simply slide it out through the bottom of the drive's door (handy if anyone ever gets a bit too agresive with you :) )
