The BBQ starts at 530. I doubt ill be out of the vendor show myself till after 6 anyway. Be sure to come by the booth and say HI while you walk around.
Im sure we wont be the only OB Members running around SE Utah the week of Easter Jeep Safari. Lets try and get a group together for a meet-up or a ride sometime that week.

No, You shouldnt need a pair of pliers to move the clutch. IF you needed pliers, the internals were in a load-induced bind or needed serviced(greased).
A lot of people will store the winch in a bind... pull the hook/cable back in until the winch bogs and let off the trigger. Its not good on the...
The remote clutch is great for hidden winch mounting systems. If you can get to the clutch lever, save yourself the money.
The Zeon clutch levers are larger than the little levers of the past but if you needed a pair of pliers to turn it, the winch was in a bind or needed to be serviced.
A receiver mounted hitch is a good option for a lot of people:
1. It gives you the option to use the winch on the front or rear of the vehicle.
2. It can be left at home on a daily driver.... every pound you can save going down the road saves wear and tear.(and fuel)
3. It isnt a target for...
Your Mojave trip was the reason I capped the attendance.
Im planning an "open" event for later next year.... just have to get the details worked out before I post it.
If anyone with an Enduro/adventure motorcycle is interested in joining the trip, let me know. I will have plenty of room in my trailer for extra gear to aid as a support vehicle for a pair of bikes.
Aluminum vs Steel on an offroad rig:
I suggest aluminum anywhere above the midline of the rig(headlights and above). Things up here dont tend to get hit very often and if they do its not very hard. This ties back into the low center of gravity thing.
Bumpers: kind of dealers choice here. You...

A stock FJC should be able to make it without much trouble. I would advise in some rock sliders and GOOD offroad tires if you are able to but all the "hard" sections are...
The end of April should be fine for this trip. It is Colorado and weather is unpredictable but unless there is an extremely cold/wet winter all the trails will be free from snow. It might get a little muddy going across Polar Mesa.

Tactical recovery equipment ropes are a great value and very high quality. They can even come with a winch thimble pre-installed for you. We run them on everything from our overland rig to off road race cars. TRE won't let you down. We have them on the website in my signature.
Don't forget to...
It isn't the strength of the attachment point so much as the balance that's the problem. We have found that a 2 bike tray style carrier is pretty easy to compensate for but 4 bikes gets difficult. The combination of weight and distance behind the axle really takes its toll on tongue weight and...
