Idaho BS thread in the PNW

holy shit, 150

in emergency, we used the rubber floormats, and a bedmat

 

That's what I was thinking... Fuck those are expensive!!

Less than $300 for an entry level winch...

 

live and learn,eh?

 

Worth it though. Would be nice for the sandy loose sand stone beytoninte shit here.

Those aren't as bad as mattraxx. 220 for them.

I think I'd put em on my spare tire

 

I think those winches are more reliable than people give them credit for. Smittybilt's 8000lb winch is $275 right now. $425 with syn. rope.

 

Til it breaks

I'm sure it is more reliable, but I think a winch will be more effective (so long as you have something to attach the line too).

I wonder if those ramps have ever failed to get someone unstuck though? Like if there are certain conditions where they just weren't very effective or if someone has ever broken them?

 

I think they are pretty effective even if you have to keep resetting them over and over again. A said I don't think 2 is worth it. Need 4 at least

 

Yeah, that would be handy for snow or sand, just stick them under your tires real quick and go.

 

I have buried my spare tire with the winch hooked up to it to get me unstuck. Works rather well actually. I did it in about 3' of snow once, and have seen it done in the sand.

 

I beg to differ... I seem to remember being the only one to get off of a certain icy mountain without studs...

 

Are Maxtraxx cheaper?

 

MaxTraxx are like $70 more a pair.

^^^^

 

Haha, thats awesome

 

I need to find a way to imbed that into posts

 

hmmm. Im looking more at like actual mods for the truck. Towards the cheaper side, but mods that will actually help while off roading.

thats much better lol.

fuck

 

No such thing

1" lift shackles and longer shocks is your cheapest option.

 

I do not know this guy (though his name is Austin) or this rig, though i have seen it around town.
