My little wagon will do me fine for the moneys I have in it.
I miss my winch, need to get it mounted again. You have to think about what you are doing when getting in a bad spot to make sure you have something to winch to or it does no good like Truck Shop says but it sure is handy. Works great for pulling elk out sometimes too.
I would like to see some one do some real world testing of the different add on overdrives. Yes they are getting tested in the cars but that is a little different from a truck were you have weight on the drive tires putting all the torque to them you have and not able to spin. Yes the cars are putting alot of power to the ground but it dosent seem the same as a pickup putting power to the ground.Yep there are cars running this week for Hot Rod drag week running in the 6’s with Gear Vendors so they can drive from track to track.
Folks notice I haven't posted a thing in this thread.
Winches-winches are for people who think of them as a back up system after they already drove way
past the vehicles limits. Only to tear up more sh!t.
Limited slip, are for people who think they now have traction up the ass {40 grit according to Spud}.
So they have unlimited traction till they get buried, then out comes the winch cable to save the day,
only to tear up more sh!t.
More power-more power is needed to keep the air operated front locker and rear locker just a churning,
till it gets really buried, then out comes the winch only to tear up more sh!t.
Lower gear ratio-is now needed because of the super aggressive tire package and lift kit for extra
ground clearance, so they stand on it even harder and really sink it, so out comes the winch only
to tear more sh!t up.
Overdrive-is now needed because of the low gear ratio and too high rpm for highway, so extra weight
added again and ruined driveline angles which tears up a driveline, yoke, and a pinion, along with a few
other things, really buried up to it's ass this time, so out comes the winch only to tear more sh!t up.
Except he forgot one thing, the Harbor Freight winch he bought roasted two weekends ago tearing up
more sh!t.
Bursting bubbles with dose of reality.
(Well said.)
Spent too many hours in a tow truck dealing with those types. Then they want to tell you how to
recover it, that's when you drive away.
Lets see---a retired ffa radar engineer, body shop, tow truck driver, hauler of farm equipment. how many
years did you spend on radar.
I'm not that greedy.
