    While I agree I shouldn't be turning, it's not always practical.

    Had a other truck go in front of me and I winched off him. It was teetering on the driver slider, so it took a few attempts to get the right spot but it wasn't bad.

    Not anytime soon, I warrantied the axle so this trip didn't cost me anything except gas. I'd rather break a cv than a diff.

    Your also not supposed to engage/disengage the locker while in the obstacle. Going into this obstacle I knew I would be winching off. Either broken or turtled. I don't wheel with alot of wheel speed, I try and keep everything controlled and smooth. I think I was reversing when it broken and with being turtled it was trying push the entire truck. I expected it to break traction and spin. But it didn't.
    It's hard to have a conversation about stuff like this online, most people don't do what I do. So what works for them, is different than what works for me. I have no problem pulling winch line. But I'll give it my best before I do, sometimes that will result in broken parts.

    This is awesome! I bought my truck used last November 1st trip tot he hunting camp I drove the 4 wheeler to the stand my hunting partner that owns the camp took my truck and got a buck! So when we met back at camp he had a buck in the bed of the truck! So I was like I guess we broke the old girl in with a buck in back "Including all the blood" but its a truck after all and proud to have a buck in the back! Nicely Done Sir!

    Yeah.....I use it full strength to clean stains in carpet and seats, etc. But I keep my pump sprayer on the ready all the time with a 50/50 cut for general cleaning....wheels/tires, engines, etc. Been using it for years. I buy it by the gallon at Meijer

    Finally got around to putting my RAM mount together! Also, started relocating the trailer plug but I can't seem to disconnect the 7-pin plug so I can actually run it through the bumper.

    My pieces all came separately AND the hex screw that came with it is 13mm instead of a 10mm :annoyed:
    So I made a quick run to Harbor Freight since I had a gift card and bought a few boxes of different screws to use, I think what I've got will hold, but only time will tell.

    Finally got my Snugtop Sport Hi-Liner installed (after 6 weeks of waiting), and took it straight out to Moab for a weekend of wheeling. Love the extra space this thing gives me!

    My biggest regret is not getting a long bed. Too tall to sleep in my 5 footer comfortably.

    I run out of room with a long bed (and I do sleep back there occasionally). I often wonder how you guys do it. I just assume that back seat gets pretty loaded down.
