    Has anyone had experience with Badgerland Offroad in Elkhorn?

    My dad wants a low profile front winch bumper and a winch for his '23 Tahoe. I think my financial responsibility has finally rubbed off on him over the years.

    Hey other Pat.
    Check out the boom on the flatbed Ranger I saw at Menards.

    Is it just me or does it look like that guy is using a bottle jack for the support?
    Genius!

    Yes!

    Looks like it might be an engine hoist.

    Yeah.
    That didn't come to mind right away.

    There's one at work that never gets used.

    That's similar to what I said, before getting the winch.....
    Just don't get stuck! :D

    Grabbed a 30' recovery strap yesterday because I only had the tree saver and kinetic rope.

    I have two 30' straps that double as tree savers. I got stuck on the beach at my mom's BF's land on the river 2 summers ago, and had to hook them together to get the winch to reach a dead tree that had settled there.

    I guess the moral of the story is; buy more straps. :D

    Sending it doesn't work when none of your tires have any traction. ;)

    I'm still kind of impressed that I managed to hit a tiny ridge just fast enough to get high centered on it. Best part is that I had my niece and nephew in the car. :oops:

    Yes! I like to think they'll remember going for beat runs on the beach. I'll splash into the water so it sprays all over the 4Runner. They seem to enjoy it. :)

    Tow straps.
