Im looking at that same rear bumper and winch add. My question is after the winch install is there still room for the spare tire. I'm running 35's Falkin MT's

Yeah pretty much so, pull in 100' and then remove a length of rope and then pull the winch rope back out and rehook. The timbers and plywood were for keeping the Kubota above the bog as we winched it in. The bog was fairly froze before I got it stuck as I took the Kubota back and forth a few...

Ha! I did a 600' pull last fall. I stuck a Kubota RTV 900 with tracks in a bog. The closest I could get my jeep was 600'. I used google earth to plot the closest straight pull, I bought 4 - 100' foot synthetic cables ( rated at 20,000lbs off e-bay and used several tow straps. The line of pull...

One thing that has not been mentioned here is that if you buy a winch and it sits in your bumper unused for a long period of time, that winch has a high percentage of not working or failing. If you ever read the whole instructions, almost all will tell you to run the line out and then back...

17's rock!!

No it's not the cable that makes the difference between 10,000 and 12,000. The motors are the same but the planetary gears are different giving a different ratio. The line speed on the 12,000 will be slower than the 10,000. it's much like the difference between having a 3.93 rear end and 4.10...

I like the SB X2O, it has a better waterproof rating than than a lot of the others. for me that means a lot as I run in wet areas and deep water fording is common. I've had two two and both have worked flawlessly. I'm going to get another as I add a a Road Armor Stealth rear winch bumper...

I mounted my radio and antenna this way. Also if you have excess cable do not wind the extra up in a coil, that will create interference noise try and route it back and forth.

The Wildpeak MT's are much better than the BFG MT's in the snow and even more so in the mud. So much that when I went to 35's from the stock 33's on my JT I went with the Wildpeaks again. I got my JT on 6-1-2019 so I went through one WI winter before this one. The only time I find myself being...

In your video, you show your extra antenna cable coiled around the antenna. I'm surprised it works very well Doing that is a big no no. The extra cable should be looped in a long run away from the antenna.

I've been playing with GMRS a lot lately and while I have no experience with the Midland handhelds ( I have a Midland MXT400) I talk to a lot of folks using 5 watt handhelds using the attached antenna from inside the cab and they are hitting repeaters up to 15 miles away and then some. I am...

Ha, I forget to take the hitch out all the time

To the rescue

While straps are nice for short work. I like having 1 or 2 of these. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085WYZMDG?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_product_details along with a couple of snatch blocks and soft shackles are a must. With a 10K or 12K winch you can pretty much reach any stuck vehicle and double up...

That factory steel bumper is an expensive option you should avoid. Get the plastic one and replace with much better bumpers at half the cost already winch capable without adding another costly winch plate.

28K on the odometer. First 13K stock Rubicon with 33' Mt's avg. about 19 mpg avg. mixed driving hwy, city, towing and off road. With 35's about 16 mpg avg. Really depends on a lot of things. I see all types of variations. In traffic under 70mph is the best and can hit 21 mpg. the same...

My buddy and I did a couple of drifts the last two days in his drift boat. Yesterday we drifted the Jump river in search of muskies with fly rods. Lots of hazards on the Jump (IE big boulders exposed and submerged)We were threading our way through a chute and tagged a boulder with the rear of...

I put it to work, you know it has to pay for its keep
