I’ve seen this all over the world. In Cali is was big thing by the three huggers. In Australia and Europe it was just hoodlums doing hoodlum things. :(
That’s part of the reason for running it under the hood. The ones I saw would grab the winch cable and run it over the top of the car and hook to the rear tow hitch. Then they would short the winch to crush the car. :(
That’s the factory Mojave Sand color. :D I love the ratcheting sound! It definitely makes heads turn. There’s a bunch of improvements you can do to make it more reliable. Like shimming the gears, tapping the main shaft and adding a circlip cover, securing the clutch lever with R clip since it...
Definitely the best winch ever made. Mine has literally taken me all around the world. Glad to see you scrapped the 4 solenoid pack and swapped for an industrial contactor. Much more reliable. I run mine inside engine bay.
That TJ went all around the world competing in adventure/survival challenges.
Rainforest Challenge in Malaysia
Croatia Trophy in Croatia
Outback Challenge in Australia
Many more countries and competitions but I can’t find those pics. A lot was pre digital cameras era.
My WJ V8 has 250,000+ on the odometer. 180,000 were done towing this 3 ton trailer all over Europe to competitions. If it could handle all that, you will be more than fine. The WJ is ones of the best made Jeeps out there.
The old organizers of the local selections keep organizing them. There was just a big one in the Canary Islands. Next year there’s a big reunion in either Portugal or Russia. Location is still pending.
Anyone know if there’s a way to save all my waypoints from the factory 2016 JKU GPS? They’re about to swap out my head unit under warranty and would hate to loose all the saved waypoints I have. I did a search and found nothing but hack attempts to import external maps. Thanks in advance.
