This right here, the political climate in Kalifornistan measured against the potential profit to Cummins is going to be totally out of scale.
All it takes is one environmental activist lawyer suing, which will be filed and heard in CA courts and any potential profit will be wiped away in...
I wired a couple of baskets to the exhaust manifold on a 5.9l Cummins that I had.
It really wouldn't get hot enough to cook anything, particularly going down the road, but what it would do is keep things warm. I would nuke lunch then wrap in foil and drop into the basket(s).
I stopped to get...
I don't think a manual transmixer is going to be available on the deezil. I know it isn't going to be available with the deezil Gladiator. The 8 speed ZF though is a very forgiving transmission and I agree that with 37's 4.88 or better will be required.
Seriously though, what makes forums great is the diversity of knowledge available in composite form.
Everyone has different experiences, knowledge levels, industry experience. Everyone.
It's generally not difficult to ascertain who speaks from a solid foundation of experience and knowledge...
Since you have access to fabrication equipment, for your "plate" you'll want two pieces, 3/4 or 1"mild steel bored for the shackle(s) and drilled/tapped or through drilled for bolts. Then tie those two pieces together with a piece of 1/4" or 3/8 to keep the two ends from twisting and breaking...
No, I have always used properly mounted winches, my circumstances are slightly different than yours.
The drawback is the potential to slingshot the whole affair into the grille if something breaks between the winch and anchor.
So with that in mind, you want the chokers to be as short as...

There you go, 2 of those and shackles to make your connections.
Your plate needs to be made of substantial enough material to withstand the pull.
Yes attach the winch to a plate independent of the vehicle.
Put attachment point(s) on the plate for shackle(s)
Connect the plate as needed to the vehicle using your recovery points with synthetic or cable chokers (nylon/synthetic or cable sling/choker) In further consideration of this having...
Since this thread is about legal weapons and overlanding it is worth mentioning that handguns are a no go in Canada and all too many of the lower 48. I think when choosing weapons for "overlanding" it is important to keep that in mind.
I made an "unscheduled incursion" behind enemy lines into...
I had no idea they were making a Sequoia TRD Pro.
Well done Toyota, if I am ever driven to forsake Jeep, it will be to Toyota. I have owned 3 Rav4's and still own 1. Toyota builds a fine vehicle. If they would correct the few known deficiencies (mostly fuel mileage0 they would be pretty dominant .
@dletz71 Cool trailer, looks to be in very good shape.
Not to rain on your parade, but I hope you have a source for those 16.5" tires you have there before one of them throws 7's.
I would seriously recommend changing to 16" (wheels and tires) if you plan on using that in a fashion that...
Here you go 4500lb 12v winch, $110 shipped

That gets you about 95% of what you need. Add another 50' of synthetic rope for about $25. Build your plate from...
