Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

I must be the only nutball that would just use a harbor freight tarp... so when I destroy it, no hard feelings

 

Forgot to put that. 2 hours from the bay. Ahhh 2 days away from the lady with just the dog and a fishing pole. Sweet sweet silence

 

Can I play with your tools??

 

I'm pretty sure that's because of the gummy grease they put in the planetaries. I cleaned all of that out of mine and repacked it with a nicer grease and it free spools out easier but I wouldn't say it fully free spools like you're saying.

Really, only 8000? I would think that with your rig and the situations where you'd need to use the winch you would want to have 10000+?

 

There's a sail shop on Blanding Ave IIRC across and down the street a bit from Nob Hill Foods

 

I have really only used my winch twice for my truck all the other times ive used it im recovering someone else and after the swap not at all.

 

for your next trick your gonna winch a stranded Ford up Half-Dome

 

Today's my last day home, I move out tomorrow

 

Anyone have any knowledge about the VR series from Warn? I was looking at these models

But seriously, how heavy do you think your truck is now? I seem to remember reading something like 5500, so plus gear, maybe close to 6000. Now if you do find a trail that challenges your truck and you need the winch, add the resistance from the obstacle and I feel like that might exceed 8000, but I could be completely wrong.

 

Anybody have a factory intake for a second gen I can borrow/rent? I'm trying to pass emissions and my AFE is illegal here.

 

LOL

 

Tryna get my Bronco smogged, 3rd times the charm right guys?
Right?

 

I think general rule of thumb is to get a winch that was 2x the weight weight capacity of the truck. Something like that, not exactly sure

 

I'm sure warn wouldn'tput out anything that totally sucked, but from what I've gathered they are made in China, not necessarily a bad thing, though my 12000 had China written all over it also. I've heard nothing but good things about engo winches. Mine has worked well, but i haven't really tested it much.

1.5 I'm pretty sure.

 

1.5 sounds right to me, too.

 

I don't think there will be an issue with my winch recovering my truck if it needs to be recovered. I don't know what it weighs in at now somewhere between 5,000 and 5,500 I would think I who knows I IFS section was at least 300lbs that I removed and my front axle is not that heavy "Yet"

 

Haha, got some armor plans?

 

The front has to match the rear

 

Added bed rack to cart with the options I wanted, looked at the good price, cried a little and closed the page. No truck mods until I'm done with school
