Quote from the Jeep thread:

"When I spoke with the Superwinch rep, he said that the LP10,000 was a solid winch and was designed mostly for the weekend wheeler as a budget-friendly entry-level winch. He said it was the same technology as the 8500, but that the

$244 EPI Pro-Series Clutch Kit - PR106

EPi Series winches are an altogether different beast. I think if you went with an LP10,000 it'd be more than enough pulling power for most situations and should be ok. I was always sort of dead set on the EPi9.0 and when one came along, I ended up getting it. Some places are selling the EPi 9.0 for only about $40 more than the LP10,000 I think"


... but, remember that for the money, they are an economy winch. Bring marshmallows... and an extinguisher.

 

I got the auperwonch tiger shark series off Amazon. Still economy brand but has the sealed solonoid. So far so good going through two winters on the front of the truck. Got it for $400 shipping included for a 9500lb.

 

Arbdeg run July 27-28/29?
People going so far
1. @16yota
2. @NorilskSever
3. @SRC
4. @Buffdeez (maybe if he skips beer fest for run fest if Jakes there )
5. @Jake4848 (late Friday night)

I have a family camping that weekend that I apparently forgot about. I'm out for arbdeg.

I'll be in Bobcaygeon that weekend, and the of4wd is hosting a newbie run. If anyone is down to do that let me know. I'll be about 40mins out from Minden. Going to do a bit more research on the trails up there and the camping situation for guys coming from far.

 

As long as somebody knows that trail (around the lake) or has a map I am down to go to Ardbeg on those days. Can hit the place on Thursday evening and take that beach spot that was taken by others last time. I need to test my setup one more time before the Burning Man trip in August (If I am lucky to score the tickets at the end of this month) and MOAB trip on the way there. Fingers crossed.

 

Dood, if you do Burning Man, promise there will be a thread yeah?

 

I agree @NorilskSever especially details about MOAB

 

Also, If you guys want the OF4WD is hosting the newbie run on that weekend. Don't know what the camping situation is like though. Ill see to get details. I believe the trail is in Minden. A tad closer.

Edit: never mind that event is full and sold out already....

I have this one NIB that I was going to install on the Taco, but now it's going on the RAM:

What do you mean by sold out? Is it a private trail?

 

I know the trail around the lake, but for anyone that wants to do it. You WILL use your skids if you run it stock.

 

Not a private trail but if you were thinking of running with the newbie run then yes that is a private event. Also with all the people running around on the trail that weekend it would be mighty crowded.

 

IF I get the ticket I will definitely write a full report on Burning Man and MOAB for you guys. lol

My skids are painted and ready to be abused again if anything, but with 5100 and your tires I should do better this time around.

 

I was asking if you have to pay to do the run.

... and what is Burning Man?

(Though I will look it up.)

Edit: I looked it up. They make it sound like a cult and some existential experience in CA. I'll rather save the money and take a logging road in Canada to go speckled trout fishing.

 

Yeah, its one of those things that you never talk about after in your life, but its worth visiting in my age at least

p.s. you get a chance to burn shit and make huge fires there

 

My bad hard to tell peoples tones while reading. It is not a private trail. It's just that the of4wd will be hosting a large run that day and it will be busy. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

 

Fill your boots, dude... and empty your wallet. CA is a trek. You can do that shit in your back yard.

For that matter... I do that in my back yard, but I have 50 acres.

 

Well my backyard is only good to look at, it's a corner lot, can't do shit... city By-Laws etc.

 

If you guys ever want to come East to Minden area that's much easier for me lol.

But anyways how many of you are running a CB radio?
