Your Pic of The Day

The winch I originally bought to go on my sxs ended up being a wide drum, and would not fit the way Polaris wanted it to fit. I was sad, but didn't want to spend the time to refabricate the mounts. So I opted for a HF 3500lb winch. Got it all finished up and did an extra good install, doing the small things to make it 100%, and really took my time to do it right. Went to wind it up for the first time, and the cable jumped the drum and wedged itself behind.


I had to take the sxs front plastics off again to get to the winch and pull it out. Looks like the wings on the side of the drum may have even broken.



Needless to say, I'm quit bothered, and do not want another HF replacement. I looked around and a hand full of other non-name brands and determined that none were going to be reliable enough.

So I went for a Warn.. but then saw this in the reviews:



Same thing happening to the Warn, and others reviews with the same issue.

Which just makes me more sad. What happened to the ability to pay more for better quality?

Is it a winch issue or a cable issue? Too much spring back in the cable? I bet you’d have better luck with synthetic rope.

I was winding it under load.. just the sxs up a slight inclined driveway. Cable was tight. It did wind up on one side, which I am sure played a major part.. but IMO, it shouldn't even be possible for a cable to go behind the spool. It should be covered better.

This Champion is kind of getting my vote for now.

I also think all of this would go away with synthetic rope. Steel cable management requires a bunch of features and tools that just aren't necessary with synthetic.

I fared a bit better. Arrived this morning on a transport. They should be able to get the PDI done on it today and ready to be picked up. Might have to come back tomorrow to get the wheels and tires put on. View attachment 178097

I just want one of you Goshzilla owners to get the custom plate. It would be so glorious! That's all I want for Christmas.

Anyone need a Turkey for Thanksgiving? We have several extras, you kill it... I'll grill it!

There is a dude in one of the mustang groups that put a 7.3 in a fox body. He said the throttle is just a potentiometer for tire smoke.

How about a Shelby with a 7.3?

The Great Salt Lake looks pretty nice up close...

Yes please!!!!!

Officially in my possession. Sitting on 37’s. Have a little bit of trimming to do on the fender liner, but nothing major.

I love that color and those wheels.

The color is kind of trendy but I think it is one that will be around for awhile.

Edit

I was worried if the 20’s would look odd, but I think the proportion of sidewall with the 37’s looks good.

 

[N-Smooth]

I dig the color too. If white wasn’t an option I’d totally rock a grey truck.

I really am a pretty content person, and am happy with what I have.
But every once in a blue moon I get jealous of something.. and this truck does it for me.
