Well i have a prototype trying today, i should know if it works mid-afternoon. Other than that i hope to have it running this weekend, cause i am sick and tired of waiting to intall it. I have at least 4 different mounting ideas so it might be awhile before i find the right one.

My new sig hahaha^

The Jeep on the box would not need the winch if they had fat tires to help distribute the weight better in mud.


Cause i know skinny tire users feel different but i say it's the driver not the tires that either get you stuck or safe.

momentum gets you through sticky mud & skinny tires cut better, just watch mud boggin races. The fat tires push the mud like a paddle & that resistance slows you down.


EDIT: of course I suppose with large enough balloon tires youd float but I think then it'd be a problem for a small motor to turn them, so you'd have to get a bigger motor....then larger tires because the bigger motor weighed more, then a bigger motor again & soon you'd be sitting in the cab of bigfoot wondering where all your money went lol

Either way, it is raining today so can't get out to try on the prototype mount cause i don't have a work shop yet.

Just Installed one of these last month, I still haven't had a chance to "use" it but I will before the summer is over. Good luck with your bumper.
