    Other Uses For Your Recovery Gear

    As we all know, being prepared on the trail with the proper recovery gear is important when doing serious wheeling in remote areas and especially if you are out running solo. But there are so many other uses for this equipment at home or in an urban setting. I tend to use my gear more in these...

    Synthetic winch cable vs Steel

    Good winch lines will have a heat shield on the beginning of your line to protect the first wrap on the drum from melting. My Master Pull Superline XD has been on my rig for seven years with no issues. I use it a lot, more at home on my 10 acres then on the trail, but both. Master Pull makes a...

    Geocaching

    Same here! Now people are making graffiti by placing 200 caches in the middle of a lake that spell out their name. Or placing 30 caches along one trail. Now people want to not only have the most finds, but the most caches hidden. Then they don't get maintained. Just have to wade through the crap...

    Geocaching

    My wife and I are vacationing on the island of Kauai. A few days ago we did a cache that could only be reached by water. We rented a kayak and made the journey. The cache hadn't been found in over a year and a half. Made the find, brought lunch and explored an area of the island we had never...

    Where did you install your OB emblem?

    I used a Super Gainer clamp mount, which can be clamped on any edge of a trunk lid or hatch back door. There is enough gap for the cable to run behind the door but outside the rubber door seal. It then enters the vehicle through a rubber gasket along with the wire harness that powers everything...

    OB Approved Recovery

    Great thread! My winch is more of a tool then a piece of recovery gear. I use it a lot on my property and around the house. From dealing with downed trees, to hoisting things into a 2nd story barn loft or moving heavy items into position. The only time I've used it for recovery, we were alone on...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    I had pulled my Cobra 75-WX-ST out of my FJ Cruiser and finally finished the install in my 2016 4Runner. Had the antenna mounted and ran cable, had a sweet match when put on the meter, but hadn't done the finish work in the center console. Was struggling with the location. Completely done and...
