Not sure Ill make this one, lots of funds going in multiple directions already in March. Although theres a better chance of making it if its on the Saturday of that weekend. Either way its a couple weeks before i project getting new tires, so Ill be on the SRAs too. If its a little drier than this last run, well be fine with em man. Just one warning, be careful in the creek and that was with actual tires too



Oh and one thing ill suggest is get a CB if you dont have one already. Makes things a lot easier on the trail when you can communicate between rigs like clearing blind climbs/descents and letting people know to slow up if you need to catch up.

I've shopped around a short while now and read tons of threads and the bottom line came to the trusted and proven reliability of warn. I was advised to pay a little extra and buy once, so I thought about it. And that's what I did.

Has it served you well? Dave said it's a pretty good winch, and he gave me a good price on it.

Well, it should be a good trip. A winch to test as well as AnOmaly's tires to test!

I didn't get the wireless remote, but that would be nice. And it looks like I need to get on the Warn site and look for rebates.
