NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Thanks. I’ll check it out!

 

This place looks interesting. Thanks for the info.

 

Looks like a great place! But it's a ways from skagit county....

 

So this happened today......



not much of a trail rig though....

Will have some Tacoma stuff for sale posted tomorrow.

 

Damn, it probably gets the same or better mpg than your Tacoma.

 

Not sure what happened it works on my IPhone.

 

You weren’t kidding.

 

Just make sure you daily it and park as close to the store doors so the ass end is hanging halfway out into the road like every other person with a dualie. o and make sure to get a drop hitch and leave it in all the time too.

But joking aside...nice truck!

 

You must be this tall to ride.

 

Anyone locally have 35s and 5.29s on their 3rd gen yet? I have an itchy trigger finger...

 

Maxx Powell IIRC

 

Does anyone go to Cherry Valley anymore? Haven't been there in ages.

 

I don't think so. Last time I heard @NorthwestCruiser went there and someone had been messing with the entrance making it more difficult and something about a po'd neighbor . I've only been there once, I already forgot how to get to the spot. My key did work at the powerline gates tho.

 

Looking for some real world experience opinions on a Smittybilt X20 10k vs a 9.5k XRC and synthetic vs steel line. The only experience I’ve had with a winch is my 8274 that’s on my 96’ and I’m sure it’s different animal all together.

 

Get some clear Gorilla tape and cover both sides, be careful

 

I used both of those and the x20 10k lb is better at least for me it is
It’s set up for wireless controller looks a little better and smaller and I like synthetic rope More then cable
I used the x20 like 6-8 times and works like a champ in sand in mud and snow

 

Speed, duty cycling?

 

Speed wise they are both pretty similar if I remember right but the xrc had like 1 or .5hp more then the x20 and the xrc felt heavier
But it’s been like 2 years now sense I compared two side by side So I can’t really remember

the most I ran the x20 is for like 3-5 min at a time to get myself or others out of a hole I heard some winches over heat so far mine hasn’t

I put them both through some test both did good but I likes the synthetic rope and wireless and the look of the x20 better I think that’s the only reason I went it

 

I still have to try and remember the back way in

 

You have to be careful with synthetic line, you’ll heat up and damage the line probably before you hit the max duty cycle. I think it suggests a minute of cool down for every 15 feet pulled in
