    ARB bull bar & winch on a 7.3L Super Duty that's old enough to buy beer

    It can be a little tricky to source info on trucks as old as mine so I thought I'd throw this out there for anyone else rocking a first generation Super Duty. I wanted a winch on the diesel pig because it seems unlikely our buddy with a TJ is gonna pull our ass out of a snowbank. So I went...

    Winch battery safety

    When using a winch, has it ever become a runaway, due to an electrical short? Have you done anything to minimize this from happening? As this poses a dangerous and destructive situation to your vehicle, has anyone installed a safety switch? or installed one separate from the battery. First...

    Come-a-long for 4Runner?

    Looking for opinions on the use of a comealong with my '16 T4R Trail until I decide which bumper & winch combo I want. I know comealongs are not rated for overhead lifting, but is it possible to use it as a manual/hand-operated winch out on the trail? I don't plan on any serious...

    TUNDRA OWNERS: C4 Fabrication needs a '14+ Tundra for bumper fitment.

    Long story short: I really like the look and general build quality of the C4 Fab stuff, particularly their lo-pro winch bumpers they have for both the 4 runner and Taco. I've got a Tundra, and emailed them to ask if they would build a Tundra version- they said they'd like to, but they need a...
