    Inexpensive vs. Expensive Winch

    Your opinion was appreciated, the reason I started thread was because I was really torn between the two and kept vacillating back and forth. Decision is now made so I need to live with it, hopefully it all works out, better still hopefully I don't need it.

    Inexpensive vs. Expensive Winch

    Good question, really not sure I do to be honest, I don't consider myself an Overlander but use the overlanding ideas and ethos to get me off-grid to fish. My rig is class B+/C camper, it is 21' long, 9,500lbs, 10'5" high and 7.7" wide plus departure angle low due to only 14" rear clearance even...

    Inexpensive vs. Expensive Winch

    Look, no doubt top end is way better than low end, but reality is for me (OP) anyway, winch is safety backup on van driven mostly on asphalt and very small percentage off-road. While a 12k lb synthetic line Rough Country winch is $500, the Warn is $1,780.......thats not an insignificant...

    To 4WD or Not to 4WD - Advice needed

    I was faced with your decision last year, but after honest internal assessment of the limitations due to my rigs weight, width and height along with looking hard at where I normally go and type of terrain I travel on and my comfort with "pushing" it, I decided to forgo the 4wd conversion at $20k...

Of the 3 lights on each side, the outside lights are Rigid Amber and really bright, the two inside lights are not hooked up due to state law restricting number...

    Inexpensive vs. Expensive Winch

    Thanks all, ordered a Rough Country 12-S, $499 with synthetic line. Big reason is cost and shop installing Ujoint bumper uses them on personal vehicles plus good online reviews. Really doubt I will need it but you never know.....

    What is the craziest recovery situation you made it through (or didn't make it through)?

    Crazy stories for sure.....In 80's I got my Suzuki Samurai stuck up to floor boards in thick mud after delivring an important party ingredient to a clandestine teen gathering deep in woods, powerline was only access, pretty rough 4x4 trail made it accessible.....on way out I decided to take...

    “Grab and go” setups?

    I tried several times to preset grab and go bins, some basic stuff you can do with but I found each trip was different so I wanted certain things and didn’t need others. I ultimately settled on several lists for specific scenarios that were refined and refined and refined. I find good lists...

    Inexpensive vs. Expensive Winch

    I live in Virginia and we rarely get snow so salt almost never used. Go steelhead fishing in NE once or twice a winter so I can probably spray down winch real good once get home. Thanks for heads up!

    Inexpensive vs. Expensive Winch

    Have new bumper with winch plate being installed on 9,500lb Chinook on E-350 van chasis, lifted , dually and good tires. Looking at winches but wondering if I need a real expensive one or would the cheaper units out there suffice. I do not rock crawl, go mudding or look for trouble. I do go...

    E350 Chinook Build

    Nice video and good info. While leaving a spot steelhead fishing in Dec we had to get up steep but short snowy incline, biggest problem was very little area to accelerate before hitting incline. Couple trucks tried in 2wd but had to switch to 4wd, being 2wd I was worried but Chinook made it up...
