    This winch that winch

    I have a Warn Zeon 10S, for me it was that or the Comeup 9.5. I ended up with the Warn because I got it on sale around Christmas 7 years ago. I had it on my JKUR and then when I mounted it to the GX470’s new bumper 3 years ago, I had to do a relocation for the controls and the Warn has that...

    Overland Trailers - first-hand experience: the Good, the Bad and the Ugly

    I have used a trailer now for 6 years, mostly to just carry gear. With 3 or 4 people in a JKUR or GX470, there is not much room for anything else and those where really long trips to Alaska and the Arctic Ocean.

    Electric Winch. Are they necessary for overlanding/touring?

    I been lucky, in last 9 years I have used my winch 6-7 times, always on someone else. I do consider it as an insurance piece and tool on my truck and I don’t like going places without it. Right now I am without it on the truck, but plan to have a new bumper and it mounted before my big trips.
