JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

You NEVER wrap the cable onto itself. It won't last more than a few pulls. In this scenario you should be using a tree saver strap around the buggy tube 1.5 times and then connecting both ends to the winch hook.

Agree, the way you hooked up that cable is just asking to be slapped with it.

You know, you are correct. My first winch. And I did realized I was all messed up with it. But hey, I'm just learning. Thanks for your advice.
