Yes the Yoda run in Sept. Tim's @HolyHandGrenade been asking me to find/plan a run to go to in NH sometime as he has family around here

 

Is the warn vr8000 good for a basic winch on my truck?

 

Yep, same one. We really liked it so it will likely be one of our annual trips.

 

@ecgreen

I think I saw you guys talking about the yota run on the ENH forums, but I haven't seen a sign up post. Is that right? Just wanna make the list

 

Glad I'm not the only one with this schedule

 

Man, I don't think I'd ever be able to cut into a new vehicle..

Damn! I guess he's going for the big mods first then build everything up around it. If that's the end goal, I'd say he's smart for planning that far ahead but yeah, no way I could hack up a new truck like that.

 

That's what it seems. I started reading his build thread last night... I think he made cuts already for 35's, he installed one of the Marlin Crawlbox's already, too.

 

Yeah, sign ups will be posted in August. I will drop a special message on this thread just before I post on enh. Hope to see you there!

 

It's rated a little low. From what I understand, you want to have a winch rated for at least 2 1/2 times the weight of your truck minimum. So our trucks weigh about 4000 lbs so you want a min winch rated @ 9500 lbs

Edit; read this

 

I work for a small town in Wmass. We have a ton of trails and farm fields that follow the length of the CT river that need patrolling periodically. A lot of people from less desirable places come to utilize these areas, but in turn don't respect the areas, or the farmers. They are often unregistered, riding without helmets, destroying crops, leaving trash, riding down public paved roads at high rates of speed. Just being a-holes. It'll end up ruining it for people who are much more respectful eventually

 

Well it's cool that you guys patrol then, much better than letting it get out of control

 

I do my best to keep it realistic man, if people are doing everything right and are squared away we leave them alone and let them carry on. If they aren't, we'll typically I tell them to pack it up, but if a ticket is given it is well earned

 

As it should be, I like your attitude and way of dealing with folks.

 

I'll try to fish a bit and there is always perpetual yard work to do.
RI M&G coming up quick. Next Sat already!

 

Thanks man. I was taught and trained by a couple of the most down to earth people I've met. Their style matched my style. Now that being said it's not always butterflies and rainbows either, but once someone crosses the "line" of reasonableness, we also aren't afraid to do our job.

I often put myself in people's shoes to determine what is and isn't reasonable. I also explain to the people I'm interacting with that they would have been upset if someone else had done to them, what they did to another. Example: they'd be upset if someone rode by their house on an atv at top speed, so what makes them think when they are doing it, it's ok? Seems to work well for me, and my supervisors back it every time.

 

Seems very fair to me! Wish more of them were like that!!! I always seem to run across the one's with a stick up their @**. Lol

 

It might have a lot to do with the agency they work for. Some agencies have a big D competition within them, some deal with a-holes all day every day, some are less involved within the community itself. There's a ton of factors that influence policing style. This is just mine bro

 

Campin and fishin
