I wish they would release their Wildpeak M/T 38x13.5R17 to the public. Great 'tweener' size tire.

The truth of it is that very little of the stuff we are attaching recovery gear to is 'rated' for stuff like this. On the flip side, actual recovery forces are typically much lower than we think they actually are. I'd love to stick some kind of load cell in a bunch of recoveries to see what...

The 2.5 version is now live on the store! https://brennans-garage.com/collections/frontpage/products/soft-shackle-reciever-adapter-2-5-size

In that vehicle with those connection points. I would just get two soft shackles and a recovery rope/strap. Hook the soft shackle around the round tube of the rear hitch assembly, not that ball In front, just use the tow eye gingerly and try to limit off-line pulling.

You could add a few psi of air pressure to the vent during the water crossings to balance the pressure over the seal. 1-2psi should be good for a few feet of water over the seal.

Most low profile winches are best with about 80' of 3/8 ( or 10mm ) line in my experience.

I don't typically 'need' to shorten my winch line that often at all, but there are a few tricks that work pretty well on the 8274. I will usually just grab a snatch ring if I need 'more' pulling power if the anchor is close to the vehicle. In the odd case that having the winch line shorter would...

My main reasons for going with larger diameter synthetic line ( on my 8274s and others ) -3/8 or 10mm line is a perfect match for the stock hole in the drum ( make sure to debur ), in combination with a tight Ashley stopper knot in the drum core, will give a VERY strong line connection. I have...

You can only shove about 5cfm through a normal tire valve, just sayin.... I did the CO2 tank for a time. For me, it was bulky, heavy, had issues freezing up, and always got low or ran out at the wrong time. ?

Ok, that helps explain a lot. That Smittybilt is about 1/3hp vs the 1hp you are using now....no wonder you are seeing 3x the performance. You are right about the performance of the Puma 12V compressor for people following along. That would be 3.3cfm at 40psi. I run one on my #LX45 project...

I'm still curious what the 'very expensive 12v unit' was? The 120V compressor listed is 3.1cfm @ 40psi and 2.2cfm at 90psi ARB Twin 12V ( an expensive 12V unit ) is listed as 4.68cfm at 29psi ( and 6.16 at 0psi ) 3/4hp Puma 12V ( mid range ) is 3.3cfm @40psi and 1.36 @ 90psi Viair 400c...

I can think of a few things that are super valuable and hard to do with 'hand' tools and time. -Cutting metal. You might be able to hacksaw through some stuff and shape with a file, but even a small 'grinder' makes these issues so much easier and quicker, especially on hardened metal that is...

I did a short walkaround video on the #LX45 this afternoon. Let me know what questions you have.

Just curious, what 12V electric where you comparing against?

Directly from GlueTread Faqs- -How much pressure will GlueTread patches hold? The answer to this question is very dependent on the type of damage that the patch has repaired. In proper testing environments, GlueTread patches can hold pressure up to 40psi. This can be the expected result for...

I've had my eye on this company for a few years now. It's good to see them out and testing in other corners of the motorized rec world.

What about under the front edge of the rear seat?

Honestly, the truck just didn't end up getting used in that way. I have a few other toys that do my primary big off road trips. When I decide to retire and just travel, I think a full-size regular cab 8' box pickup is still the top of the list to build a mobile-home from. I will definitely have...

1- The 2.25 version is 25.4lbs completely welded. I think that is a bit lighter than a farm jack, but not by a lot. That weight does included a very large 6x9 foot which is much larger than we typically see. It is a LOT more compact, which was one of the main drivers. Fully collapsed it is only...

A very nice article from Harry Wagner over at Fourwheeler in regards to the Tauler Jack! https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/tauler-jack-review-brennans-garage/
