Just have to remember it’s the tow rig not the play toy. It is all to tempting to mod it and then all you end up with more things to fix.

Just ask here. Plenty of Ford guys here to help.

Need to determine if that rod end is left or right thread going into the track bar. I may have a rod end and the new hardware to install it.

I am not Shawn but I have a week or two of building driveshafts under my belt so here is my $.02 1. What is the biggest mistake owners make installing drive shafts? Using improper or poor hardware. You need to make sure the strap, bolts and associated hardware are of good quality and working...

This . You are doing a "repair" (like a frame swap for rust abatement) so move as much of the VIN stuff off of the 98 onto the frame and tub and keep some simple documentation of the process.

Someone is definitely having a bad day.

Yep the proverbial downward spiral of DC electric motors. The old Wapsa motors used to send up smoke signals and the BIC motors just give all they can and then just give up. The current motors seem to fall somewhere in the middle.

I like some of the features the Platinum offers I just wish it came with mechanical backups available. The Axon Atv winches offer actual an actual load indicator and overload protection which I would like to see integrated into the full size winches.

2500 RPM is probably a bit much but a high idle should ensure you are getting full output from the alternator. Watching the volt meter will give you a good indication of how things are going. If the voltage continuously dips below 12 volts while winching you need to stop winching and let the...

This is correct terrain definitely has an impact on what gear you should carry . For many trails in the PNW and Alaska a kinetic rope is borderline worthless due to the tight and twisty nature of the trails or being in the middle of a Bog and cannot generate the momentum necessary to be useful.

@Shawn at Tom Wood's you guys ship across the pond?

Only way you should do an auto swap is with more cylinders in front of it. 2.5 with an auto is the physical embodiment of crushing disappointment.

If you go with the Black Box I D20 combo you do not have to move the engine forward.

As a current four popper owner on 35s let me give some of my thoughts. The AX15 is worth considering if your AX5 is showing signs of old age or fragility. 5.13s will give you some of your gearing advantage back but it will never be the same as being on 33s as the rolling diameter and weight...

I am still not sold on this concept in any of its current iterations. In order for it to work you must sacrifice some part of it like the soft shackle for the one you posted or the winch line on that offset thing Yankum sells. The closest thing that I like that is out there is this...

I have sold a few of these and the folks that have run them have liked them a lot. https://andersenhitches.com/product/weight-distribution-hitch/ Nice thing with them is you can back up a lot easier compared to other systems.

They are a marketplace so like Amazon they warehouse some things and drop ship others.

I loathe any tool that uses coin cell batteries. I learned on Vernier calipers and micrometers. Lately I spoil myself with a dual dial https://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/37530797 so I do not have to own both a standard and metric.

First time I saw one being used I could not purchase one fast enough.
