That's great as long as you're wheeling where there are trees. Az Crew would have to carry "rock straps". <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Roll Me Over

Has anyone found out if the optional PTO winch for the overseas mitsubishis work with the automatic transmissions? I see the access plate on the side of the transfer case, so it makes me want to know if its worth finding one overseas to bolt to my Raider. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The gear isn't there to run the pto in the t-case, the t-case neutral position runs the pto. I took apart my auto t-case apart with Onsail and we noticed the lack of a PTO gear, i always thought that the gear would be there and once you bolted on the PTO the position on the shift selection would be there between L and H but it's not.

Despite going electric, I just dont see the entire "if my engine is off or the truck is rolled over" argument. Self recovery from a roll over is really not practical for most, unless you have a buggy you can drag all over the place until it turns over. Then again, in over 20 years of wheeling I have been able to stay away from rolling, along with the groups I wheel with. And as the test shows, so many electrics die in the water anyways.....I have yet to see a fast Hydro set up. But even if you did, is it worth the effort and the complexity?

Sparkem had an 8294 on his 94 SR in a Don's bumper?? Why would they be unmountable? [/quote]
To me those bumpers stick too far out for Rock Crawling...With enough lift it may not be as big a problem, but I am a fan of low profile.

Just realized i need to be sending you pics of my LowPro bumpers for you to look through, i know you saw the tube one but not the other. sorry i dropped the ball on that one.
Back to winches, Lloyd have you looked into the Worm drive units? I think for your use and application they would be perfect.

I never look at worm drive hydraulics. The T-max has machined, 3 stage plenatary gears. They are also rebuildable and have bearings instead of bushings. A few of the reasons I went T-max.
Probably prefer the bumper with hoops. I like the idea of bobbing the front. I guess a winch will fit ok in that opening?
