Do you still have a front and rear sway bars connected? You could probably remove the rears and not notice a difference, but you’ll definitely notice a difference in center of gravity changes with the front sway bar disconnected.

Old and tired suspension would definitely cause clearance issues if you go up to a 32 inch tire.

For Sale - search for "Pelican" I usually get a lot of Pelican kayak products too. I'm also in San Francisco, so there's a good chance of finding something out here.

Aww man that’s a bummer!

Cool! I’m planning to only be at Expo on Sunday. Lots of people to find and not much time. It’ll be a whirlwind day for sure.

Hopefully the state of the rig is Arizona!!!

Got this update this morning for Demotte. This is an update related to your Recreation.gov reservation at Demotte. The dates affected are 5/6/2019 - 6/1/2019. There is currently a temporary water outage at our facility, and water will not be available until further notice. In the meantime...

Please join myself, Michael & Corrie, and Team Hunt for a short, yet epic adventure around the Grand Canyon after the Overland Expo West show! I have planned this trip to leave OE West Sunday night (5/19) and head to Lone Rock Primitive Campground (about 150 miles north of Flagstaff) for the...

A few years ago myself and a few other NCLR Club members did some painting and maintenance at the staging area. Some of the stories we heard from the Ranger were just appalling. People like to get get drunk, tie a chain around the posts of the shade structures, and pull them down with their...

Dang, I’m only going to be at OE West on Sunday.

For your winch drum, keep a minimum of 5 wraps of steel cable on it. If you have synthetic rope, a minimum of one complete layer of rope should remain on the drum. The Hi-Lift is great as it is not a single use tool compared to a Come-Along, and generally rated to higher WLL. For Hi-Lift...

And a sucker, err I mean, assistant to operate the handle!

That’s a good price. Wish the bumper had a couple recovery tabs for mounting shackles though. How would you do a self recovery with a winch?

When I took mine apart, the wires were bent in a way that they almost dropped right into the same position. If you really have to bend them another way, it's probably on the wrong terminal.

Good luck! It’s a pretty straightforward job, just make sure to take pics and label all of the wires before you take everything apart.

@texascascio , this has been my strategy for years:)

Try hitting them with a hammer, or a BFH, to break free any corrosion that might be in the threads. A little heat on the heim should be ok to get it to expand a touch. Try the hammer method when it's hot and then see about getting them to turn.

I'll be teaching recovery classes at Off The Grid this weekend, with a focus on the electric winch, Hi-Lift, and Maxtrax. Do not buy an ATV winch for your vehicle, unless your vehicle is an ATV!!! If money is the biggest concern/hurdle, then wait a little longer and save more money. It doesn't...

My advice is to never skimp on cost when it comes to recovery equipment. A lot people think that a winch is something they may only use once a year and therefore shouldn't drop good money on one. The problem you can run into with a cheapo product is when you really need it to work, it may not...
