I'm not sure why I find myself in these situations but I'm happy to be there to lend a hand.

I went out to check on the recent snow level just up the hill. On the way back down I came across a Subaru with bald tires that had slid off the road just enough she couldn't get out of the "ditch". This was on a curvy section of hwy and it was pretty slippery so I quickly broke oit the tow...

You beat me to the snow! :)

Pretty sweet build!

The truck sits too high and I can't lower it via the coilover. The spring rate is just too high until I get a full steel bumper. You can't cut or heat coils on a coilover setup like you could on old school setups where the springs and shocks are separate. Taken during install before I removed...

Because Accutune didn't offer to swap out my springs for lower rate coils and because I'm refuse to spend $200 on a new set....... Here's about 100lbs+ worth of steel plates bolted to the "inside" of my front skid to weigh the front down. I ran out of nylon lock nuts so used wall anchors...

I believe the Apex is made by Warn. I could be wrong but I read that somewhere.

I've only had my Smittybilt X20 10k for a handful of months but I've used it 4 times already. It worked perfectly to pull various vehicles uphill and out of jams. It's very slow going, however, which makes me wish I could have gone with a larger unit but my bumper won't accept a larger case. The...

And not to be confused with the Badlands Apex 12k winch which is much more expensive at $799. Looks like a nice unit.

Someday I'll get another winch with a rear hitch cradle and make a connector like that. Nice work.

I dig it! The system offers great coverage and bolt head protection.

I wheel with a lot of Jeeps so I guess I need a HiLift now huh @Kent R ? :tearsofjoy:

Dang

It's a Jeep thing...... :tearsofjoy:

It's cool to see people making an effort to explore even in a state with such little public land.

He was lucky enough to have cell reception in an area not known for good reception. He was able to post to a regional off-road recovery group page on Facebook to ask for assistance. It's a good idea to seek out and join a group like this and lend a hand when able. He was also able to text me for...

Thanks buddy! He's a good kid. He's slowly building the Jeep up as he learns what is useful instead of for show. A winch just made it to 2nd place on his list, right after new axles. lol

Used it to recover my friend's Jeep. He broke a rear axle on a steep slope and had to tie off on a large boulder until help came. It took me about 2hrs to get out to him. Winching on such a steep slope is sketch so we used a tow strap between my truck and a large tree just in case. The plan was...

I dig it! I'd recommend a winch or at least tow straps. Combined with a chainsaw you'll be able to clear downed trees from across the trails.

This is the one topping the news right now. I really haven't seen others. https://newatlas.com/honda-ridgeline-overland-project/57002/
