Bad things happen in the trails or off road at night so don't plan night rides. At the speeds you are going stock lights are perfect to get you out in the event you are running late. My desert buggy has $19.99 Walmart lights. Jeep and 4x4 van use stock headlights with the AutoZone Silverstar...
Ditch your faucet and buy one for a laundry room sink. Home Depot sells them and they are usually the cheapest faucets they sell. They already are built to accept a garden hose. Next buy a 10' drinking water safe garden hose from the camping isle at Walmart. They are used for an RV's water fill...
The only time I spend more than a few moments in a camp chair is around the camp fire. Your back is to the wind and freezes in ventilated chairs like that. You want a solid fabric back with no gap between the seat and the back to let the wind in.
What's stopping you? You have seen every choice imaginable. Warn is probably the only winch that increases value of a vehicle. The rest just prove you are cheap and probably half azzed the rest of the mods then beat the truck.
Btw the $299 harbor freight winches are great. I had the 10,000 on a...

The XL jacket and size 32 pants comes with it along with a Shoei helmet if it fits you. Make offer. I can store it until spring.
Don't be a Warn hater. That M8000 is not a bad bang for the buck. It's fast enough. People on the trails all know how to use them with out asking. I met with a Warn rep at Overland Expo when I needed a winch for my 9000 pound van. Granted it does not rock crawl and I don't beat it. The rep said...
Theft recovery!
I got to looking over the Brompton I bought. It was the tippy top of the line titanium Brompton plus it had all sorts of expensive mods. It was not just a rich kids bike. It was a loved and well sorted machine so I got the local Brompton dealer involved. STOLEN! I knew it...
Talon 9.5 is 62' per minute line speed
Viking gs9 is 44'
Tigar shark 9500sr is only 19 feet per minute.
So you have to decide If you want a winch to pull you over a log or a mud hole or a winch that will help you climb up hills you are stuck on. They call the Tigar Shark an entry level winch...
Unless you plan on pulling the rig up waterfalls and being the trail hero that offers to winch everybody then you can't beat that $349 dollar deal. You could look up line speed as a comparison. Fast unloaded line speed is probably the most important aspect of a winch.
You may get stopped half...
Superwinch used to show up at off road events with Warn and Ramsey winches in parts next to Superwinch parts. They are impressive and I bought a 9.0 12 years ago. It got used Saturday to pull a CanAm off of a rock ledge. Never a problem. I always thought it was made by Comeup because they look...
I've got a few miles on it now. Hitting soft dirt or running off the asphalt is basically like doing it on a road bike. Not real fun but it can be done. Hard trails are easier than a road bike because it's extreamly nimble due to the wheel size. Your not locked in and jumping off is a breeze. On...
Broken steering box mount. Wratchet straps were not strong enough to hold it so the steel winch cable came out for the win.
This Jeep was able to run the whole trail like nothing happened.
No kick stand is no problem.
This is the preferred way to park one. Easy as holding a lever and lifting the bike. The rear end flops right under. The dog took me out once. Going over the bars is as easy as stepping off a BMX bike and the gloves saved me. This is the easiest bike I've ever...
