NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I love my 4x innovations high clearance. Gives the absolute most clearance you can get and you can customize the swing out for no extra cost. @dakotasyota talked me into it and don't regret one bit, except not getting the fold down table. If I didn't get this one it would be a toss up between Pelfreybilt or Relentless fab. But don't go standard rear.. Be cool

Oh and I vote single swing out. Might end up being a major PITA to open 2 swing outs just to get something out of the bed (depending on its size)

 

You don't want that. Besides it rubs like a mofo.

 

I can deal with some rub.

 

You needed convincing?

 

What winch you looking at?

 

Good point. :-D

 

Yeah the drive actually wasnt bad, only an hour and a half. The drive back was the kicker

Pretty much what I said after haha I think it could have been avoided with a spotter but its pretty minor damage, not to big a deal.

I'll probably take Joe's advice and just touch it up with touch up paint and fix it later.

@SteeleMan I think I may have to snag a mosin now, would be a decent hunting and shooting rifle

 

Engo maybe? Going to do a bit of research before. Just can't seem to justify the $$ Warn wants, unless there's some convincing evidence they are that much better.

 

RUBS? needs more lift then...

 

Bro i had a warn m8000s had no issues... i switched to smittybuilt and same thing NO ISSUES

 

Thanks man good info,, ill be doing a little research this week.

 

It seems to me that for the extra $, you can buy a couple Smittybilt winches... I have no complaints about mine, and I'm sure that it'll last basically forever, based on how much I use it.

I discovered a few things as I was doing the research... Pay attention to the line speed. Smittybilt for instance, have the same motor on 3 different sizes of winch, and they're just geared different. Which means the 9k is double the speed of the 15k. And if there's ever a chance you'll run synthetic line, get a winch where the brake isn't inside the drum.

And most important, if you can order it from Summit you can get free shipping, and no tax because they're in Oregon.

 

lift won't fix the rubbing only and a BFH will

Only regret I have is not getting the fold down table.. Plus it's the only 1/4" steel rear bumper you can get for tacos. That could make or break your decision

 

Everytime I've ordered from summit it comes from their warehouse in Ohio. Free shipping on my winch though, not my tie rod ends

The amount of convincing it took was literally me saying "Here, shoot this."

 

I figured there was a minimum price for it

 

I bought that one 10 years ago when you could buy the rifle for $99 and 880 rounds of ammo for another $99. They've both gone up about 2-3x now. It's not worth it unless you've got a buddy trying to offload one for cheap. If you just want a good beater rifle for not too much money, I'd go with a Stevens 200 since you can find those for about the same money as a Mosin these days.

 

I'm not as much a Mosin fan these days just because the scope mounting options are so limited.
