Shear pins
There is no provision for a shear pin as such on the setup used in the 101" wheelbase. The front of the flexible coupling is keyed to the output shaft of the transfer case and the rear of the coupling has 4 bolts similar to a universal joint (probably the same bolt pattern on the input of all versions of the winch but this hasn't been checked in the parts manuals). From memory, I think the cross section of the bolts exceeds the key but the areas are close enough that it would depend on the materials of the two parts which failed first. Neither one counts as a user freindly, field replacement item like a real shear pin should be.
