The Lair

I heard they reworked the gen3 motor out of a lesser model to work higher in the power band. I would check to make sure the winch diff doesn't leak or the planetary gears don't clunk. I also hear that the users on the new gen3's are absolute toddlers on problem solving anything and are generally heckled on SmittybiltWinchWorld.com

Edit: I heard that the Gen3 9.5 PRO is getting released next year with a military colored fairlead

 

All their winches are waterproof if you understand what the IP ratings mean. They just make their more expensive ones a little more water proof, and dub then as waterproof.

that one took me a second haha

 

I figured you would have clued in somewhere around "winch diff"

 

This ones for you @Darkgoatracer

 

Hold please let me try and remember my physics calculations

 

Poor betty white.

 

None of this “truck becomes useless after 35s” mess. Gonna have this thing back together and cab mounts relocated by flagpole next weekend.

 

You remember when my truck was reliable and i took it wheeling everywhere? Yeah, that was on 33's.

 

And also pre supercharger. That was truly your demise.

 

The supercharger was because i had to floor it in 4th to maintain 60 on 35s.

 

That’s also just lack of gears, sooooo

 

I have all of those things now, so does that mean my truck will be reliable now? Please say yes.

 

Yes. But I also worry the answer is no because your goal is 4wd launches.

 

This will not......actually, yeah. That might be a problem

 

You guys are forgetting the winch is essentially a pulley. If you think of it like two pulleys (aka winch and snatch block) then it makes a lot more sense. Two pulleys give you a mechanical advantage of 2. Which means you need to pull the rope 2X to move the weight 1X.

You can also think about it like a seesaw. Put a 100# weight on one side and you need 100# on the other side to lift it. But if you move the pivot point closer to the first 100# then you need less weight to lift the 100#. Mechanical advantage. Or a simplier example is using a breaker bar vs. a 6" wrench. Mechanical advantage. You're trading force for distance. Ever heard the saying "give me a lever long enough and I can move the world"?


Edit: Sorry forgot to give you the super complicated formula of "Force X Distance = Work"

Who's asking the stupid questions today Randall?

 

Fuck yeah! Kill em' all and let Allah sort em' out!

 

Just seeing if your paying attention. And also my brain is only at 30% before my first cup of coffee.

Changed it for the sake of posterity.

 

GTFO! SERIOUSLY!? ALREADY?!

 

You seriously have that one? It has the overload digital readout on the crazy looking remote switch/handle?

I just got the email for placing a pre-order the other day. Is that what they sent you when yours shit the bed?

It's definitely the one I'm getting since Joe only rates that bumper for 10k.

 

No kidding! I legit ran the heater in my truck today!
