Spent some time last night making some winch lines and extensions.

pulled apart and then cut in half

ready to thread

Still need to tack the abrasive covers on

SO 50 feet on winch and about a 47 foot extension.


Will make a few more different lengths

Hmmm. I just use a pulley when the pull is going to be hard.

I'm doing something a little different, I'm only putting 50' of 3/8 rope on my winch.

Where we wheel 50' is plenty if not your changing direction.

It's amazing how much synthetic rope has changed since the early days of tight 5/16 rope.

Ditched steel wire, gave to neighbor who helps us. Went synthetic 3/8 because of some wt. Savings but for us we don't typical drag over rocks.

Also using a combo of hard and soft shackles, and aluminum snatchblocks.

Safer in my mind and damn sure lighter ,20 years is a haul.

That right there probably saves 25# of shit to carry

So, still doing hurricane damage control, this will last forever for us....decided to get a beer and take a break and powder coat a few wheels

Yup pure clay, we lost alot of topsoil everywhere.

Wheels hitched for a free ride..

Well found this while doing wheels.

It's off the "Pink Demon", light sand blast and....

Also painted hub caps...urgh...whatever

All wheels finally done....absolutely a pita to do in your 8'X8' goat shed, and with damn storms....turned out unique and pretty from 5 feet

I like a guy that has 4 pulleys. I carry 2 and half a dozen soft shackles and 100ft extension in addition to the 90ft on my winch. I've often wondered if I should have made a 200ft extension. But, then, I've only used it once and it was enough.

Getting tires mounted today

Well, apparently what I have discovered on this site is most folks wheel in drier, slickrock conditions I'm guessing.
it's nothing to attach to front and side And winch off camber around trees, combine that with a tree strap attached to the rear off a couple trees with a bridle to winch someone, thats 2 to start with and several straps. Also combine that with a winch to sliders and another to front or rear. You can easily use 4+ shackles/snatchblocks.

I'll make and carry probably 8 soft shackles,when your winching up hills 50 ft at a time, there is tons of rigging.

I'd rather have the tools and not need them and now days, everything is stronger and lighter.

All it takes is one time...it's so nice, 20 years ago what I have for recovery now, would weigh 200 lbs + and it's maybe 15 lbs total.

Finally got my bolts in for my bumper, proper grade 8 bolts and nuts, still waiting on washers.
Bumper came with cheap chinisium bolts, they are between an 11.5 and 12 mm. They measured .465 Dia. And were not Long enough to even

use washers.

They are being replaced with 1/2 bolts. Cad plated bolts are the grade 8 replacements.

The main reason I chose this bumper was it is 3/16 steel, cheap$$ and I will easily be able to flat tow by changing front recovery plates out.
