    1990 Mercedes-Benz van in CA

    Not sure if that is some old thing in Ca. that I don't know about or not, but as of 2024, you are dealing with the "tech compliance" people ONLY and it's all by phone or emails, and again, they do not know what they are talking about, at all. My informed theory is that their office suffers very...

    An incident worth talking about. Kinetic Recovery Accident.

    Use a winch when you can. Don't buy Chinese made recovery gear (which is what failed in this video) Use the proper piece of equipment for that particular recovery. Commercial grade and labeled metal hardware can be better suited than soft in some cases, like in this one. (a Crosby bow shackle...

    Reduced to $37500/39000 Mercedes Europa G500 LWB with G-Professional Rack, Ladder, Gwagenusa.com Bumper, Warn Winch, 3 diff locks

    I didn't see a year, or am I missing it somehow.? I'd invest in a fairlead for that winch rope. That bare mount will cut that stuff instantly if it touches under tension.

    Sometimes you just have to trust a stranger... don't bother; life is way too short to get involved with Ca. gov. You will end up hating everything and everyone by the time you're into the process a year deep. Even if you do luck out with an ignorant DMV clerk, you will likely get a letter later...

    Just so people know, this isn't ever going to be a Ca. legal vehicle. No way.

    New, Old, Warn winch, ideal for budget builds. (For sale)

    This is 12v but I do have a few 24v winches, and do 12v-to-24v conversions often on Warn and Ramsey winches. I try to keep 24v parts in stock. (I've answered your private message too) Thanks.

    New, Old, Warn winch, ideal for budget builds. (For sale)

    A rare winch came through the shop recently. This is an early 2000's Warn Tabor 9000 winch... unused! This was in storage for close to 20 years. Amazing condition! I'm going through it, adding some new grease and offering it for sale. This is ideal for a budget build where your winch needs to...

    Looking to TRADE for our mint classic '66 Daimler-Benz Unimog 404

    Uh, yeah, those are 3 sizes too big at least. No way you have any gearing left or engine power.

    Near new expedition LMTV high end build

    Very nice machine and good luck with the sale. Curious what 30Klb winch is being put on that. It doesnt sound right... 30K requires a massive frame on the winch itself and would stick way out front. Its also too much for this rig. All those Chinese models are junk and have false claims on power...
