I had a 1.5 gal steel tank with my ARB twin. The tank was always between 130-150 PSI because I had the compressor on and the lockers mostly engaged. When it came time to fill up my 4 tires 42.8x14.5R17, that 140PSI was a fast boost. The compressor quickly dropped to 15 PSI or so. Even though I...

That massive of a tire can float on the right snow and in the right conditions, but once you start to climb, you just have a bigger sky. Taller is always better, you don't want to push snow. But 44's and chains fully aired up will run circles around 2 PSI boggers on real off road stuff. Go to...

What do you disagree with? I said Matt is an expert at recovery but he's also an expert at getting clicks and followers. You haven't done much recovery or you haven't see all his video's if you disagree with that. His snow cat recoveries are the most dramatized. I haven't seen one yet that I...

Complete nonsense. I always have a set of 4 extra wheels and good studded snow tires. If you're going skiing, studs are required. I did lots of ice racing in MT, just keep it under 100 MPH or the studs come out. And don't race any subs with studs, you'll get your ass kicked. If you're going in...

I'd never buy a 10K winch, they have the same motor as the 12K, just higher gears. Seen too many 10K burn up. I'm convinced the XBull 13.5 is really a 12K winch, but that's still 20% more than the evo. The EVO is cheap, so with your logic get only the Zeon Platinum 12K for $3,500. I have that...

Never pull in reverse. Matt's off road recovery does it all the time and gets away with it. Also, never depend on the parking brake pawl even though most folks do and get away with it. I pop my hood, use the Tazer 2,000 idle, neutral and brakes. With my front camera I can sorta see what's going...

Matt uses the HF winch because he's sponsored by HF. But for the money, the Badlands winch is a great value. Several folks in my club have them and use them frequently. Matt's got a great show but it's all show and drama. He uses kinetic recovery 95% of the time when a winch is safer/better...

All the synthetic ropes on Amazon are junk, don't load it up. The best rope for the money is the 12K harbor freight synthetic rope and it's about $110 shipped.

Not true, put it on the front and turn your wheel in the direction needed. Even in the back, it doesn't need to be perfectly aligned. This is a super niche item that appeals to few ppl who already have a winch.

Get the VEVOR 1-1/4" x 31.5' Kinetic Recovery & Tow Rope, 52,300 lbs, and don't look back. I picked that up on sale for $109 a few months ago. I've used it for several recoveries and can't tell the difference between it and my 1.25" Bubba rope. Good tow straps are cheap, I carry 3 of the them...

You've obviously never seen someone pulling into a river and stuck, which is pretty common on matt's off road recovery. So you're saying there's never a case where you have no anchor point in the front and must winch from the back? That's my point. Not in the case I gave. hi-lift won't help...

That's the new C8 owners say when I'm looking at them in my rear view mirror in my plaid. A full 2 seconds faster than the latest C8 mixed ICE tiny electic junk pile. EV's are far simpler.

Why do you need 1/0? My electrician ran #6 AWG to get 60 amp 220 to my garage for my 4 car tesla charger. I charge my EV at 14 A, 220 V because at 29 Amp (max for my charger), during the day, it sometimes sucks from my house batteries and battery to battery charges are just stupid. You've got...

Just like they said about oil and natural gas 30 years ago. projections on materials were revised as more were discovered. Yup. Peak oil then, peak battery now, lol. Just curious, what’s your cost per kWh? Even with my EV being my DD, I export over 20% of my power to the grid. I export a...

It's not cheap at $468.18 , that's about what I paid for each of my two 12K SuperWinch with synthetic rope. The wire rope SW is cheaper. I'd much rather have a $300 winch than this wheel winch but what about the guy with unlimited funds getting both? The wheel winch would be better when your...

The i3 would be much more useful if you could kick on the the generator motor when you wanted. Running LI batteries below 20% rapidly deteriorates the battery. I've never run mine below 20%. In some ways a similarly setup Wrangler would be the best of both worlds. For me, yes. All 3 of my...

It's better than nothing. It has the advantage if you're solo and you're in a place where you need to winch backward, and you don't have a front anchor point to do reverse winching, this would work.

That's why I haven't potted mine. That and talking to the stealership that reports 0 failures of that component in 2020+ vehicles. I think they had one failure in 2019. What's the failure rate? Given on this forum you hear of every failure but only 1% report no failure, I'm guessing it's pretty...

While I'm leaving the JL manual world I will still be in the manual arena....looking for a nice old TJ stick in the next year or so that I can teach my daughters how to drive stick and enjoy it around town. I've taught a dozen kids how to drive a stick by dropping my 4x4 in low range and...

Nice pics and video. I wheel often alone. I only wheel alone in place that are not difficult and close to help. Most ppl, you being the exception, get more conservative as they age. I've had too many solo hang ups when I was young that are still in the back of my mind. When I was younger...
