I'd own one. They're slow, but will go anywhere

 

Ive always wondered what its like to ride one. How fast do they go?

The Lobsters must’ve been really happy

 

The one I got to ride couldn't go faster than 27mph.. probably 15 uphill.

But holy shit the incline those things could handle!

 

I have a broken bolt extractor inside a broken off mounting bolt on my Ramsey RE8000. The internet has told me that using a dremel and grinding away the extractor is one of my few options. Oh and there is a large chunk of material missing by the mounting bolt next to it. The guys I bought it from mounted it on a standard bottom mount winch carrier is what happened. Seriously considering selling it and putting the funds into another winch right now lol.

 

Well

 

Interesting. I'm trying to figure out what they have over something like a regular dirt bike. I guess the COG is really low? And I guess they'd have to be geared really low.

 

2WD baby!!!

Plus cogged low as sin (geared low as well)

 

Plus being able to put fuel in the rims

Adds length of trip and helps keep the COG even lower

 

Ah yeah I forgot about that 2wd thing. Neat-o.

 

Holy crap that's an expensive winch, had to look up the model. If you give up just go take it to a machine shop, I can guarantee it's cheaper than a new winch. I have a shop I take all my stripped fasteners I can't remove to, I've had to have two fasteners on my Supercharger drilled, re-tapped, or welded.

Genuine lulz



I'm a nerd

 

I see that you couldn't resist.

 

Oh that's a good one haha

 

So backstory. I have a bad relationship with the machine shop that damaged my 04 Taco spindles during the 4WD conversion. So I refuse to give them business. When I bought this winch I was with my old buddy/roommate who I no longer get along with. He said "hell yeah bring it by the shop and we'll get this fixed easy" and now he won't even talk to me. He works at a different machine shop in town.

So I'd have to see if we have any other machine shops in town that deals with walk in customers and small jobs like that.
