    Installing new winch cable

    Hijack- saw this ad on my local c/l 200' 5/8 winch cable unused 200' of 5/8 cable $200. I thought id share it.- hijack over. when you get all spooled up make sure to use your winch. Even if you're not stuck, you should do some pulls so that when you NEED it there's no unfamiliarity.

    Installing new winch cable

    Its a good idea to pre load the line before spooling it all on. Make sure to have at least 5 wraps on first.

    Foers winch system (mid mount)

    hi all! has anyone seen or heard of this setup? I read about this months ago and wondered how it might fare set up in a duece. Basically I'm with the last poster on the winch mod thread below who has a rear mounted winch. Lacking a factory winch , a rear facing winch just makes more sense...

    perspective deuce owner

    Irocs say LT on the sidewall. They are for Superduty mall crawlers. You need a medium truck tire- it's a medium truck. Before you buy a duece, pay a truck shop to make you out a parts list of what you will need, to build what you want, and have it be safe to drive. Find out what it will...

    Snatch Blocks

    Hi all first post here. Just thought I'd clear up some confusion. As far as rope is concerned( wire, synthetic or even polyester, the WLL( working load limit) is a percentage of the the breaking (tensile) strenght. This is a variable factor related to saftey. The WLL is no less than 3-1 (no...
