Houston area (along with DB's not from Houston) BS thread

i was wondering how long it would take to slow down the site enough for a mod to take notice

 

I did

 

Yupp, badlands 12k. This is the second one I've installed for this huy and he hasn't had a single issue. Twill be my next one as well.

 

supposedly the old HF winches were junk (chicago electric maybe?), but under the new badlands label, i've heard nothing but good things about them. i know they probably come out of the same chinese factory, but whatever redesigning they've done seems to have worked. all of the winch reviews/comparisons in the off road mags speak highly of them (though they seem surprised as well)

 

Somone on my Facebook just said they are gonna get there whole ford truck painted for $300 bucks, I can't wait to see it peel lol

 

Bad land is sold at harbor freight correct?
What are other good brand winch?

 

engrish :goiongcrazy:

correct, badlands is a harbor freight product. for something like that, probably worth the $20 for a two year, no questions asked warranty.

there really aren't that many "bad" winches out there as long as you stick to the big names.

most common that i see (and would run on my own truck) are:
-warn
-superwinch
-smittybuilt
-engo

didn't put badlands on the list because i've only wheeled with one person to have one. so most of my personal opinions of them are based on reviews, rather than first hand experience.

they also don't have a synthetic line version, so you won't find any money saving by getting synthetic from the factory.

 

Can't go wrong with Warn. That's what I've got on mine



As Baja Mike what kind his is. It held up really well when I pulled him along the beach this past weekend after he got stuck

 

I'm getting a visit from the UPS man today

 

I'm thinking that you'll be able to go swimming now???

 

Warn.

And I am still mad. I had a mechanic buddy, and former taco owner look at it and he just chuckled and said "piece of shit Japanese electronics"...

 

He has a fancy expensive warn

 

talking about an actuator?

 

He didn't specify. I'm waiting on Lowes to deliver the new deep freeze so I can take it in.

 

Picked up the Ring turned out better than i could have ever imagined! jeweler did a fantastic job on it. now to get this sumbitch insured
