Tater Strikes Again - The Taterjuice Thread

[taterjuice]

Nice work Tater. Once again I will have to borrow a few of your ideas. The idea of adding a smaller winch to your collection of tools is a great idea especially if you move the winch from one vehicle to the next.

I have a similar winch set up that allows me to move it between vehicles and trailers. I found it was so valuable that I added a receiver to the front of my one ton and 3/4 ton pickups to allow flexibility in deep snow and mud. These are bolt on so they can be removed to avoid pole vaulting in hills or gullies. Receiver hitches were already on the back of all of my trucks but sometimes the truck is facing in the wrong direction. Adding a platform for a battery and a building a snow anchor gives me confidence to get out of any situation in the Great Buffalo Commons. To me a winch is both a survival as well as scrapping tool.

The 12k winch is awesome if the car is lacking all 4 tires or rear end or it's upside down, but often times is way too much winch and way too slow. I'm betting this 4K winch will do 95% of what I ask of it without any complaints. Need a tilt bed so tires or not won't matter but that's a little ways off yet.
