    Make it a CTIS cover also and $$$$$$$$$$$$ LOL
  2. Third From Texas

    AWD and Slip

    Yeah, the military Pull Pal is rated to 12k pull for up to 10k GVW and they make a industrial 14k version for up to 12k GVW. I suspect the limits are structural (ie where the anchor disassembles itself). So GWV + resistance (mud, sand, etc). Personally, I'm more a fan of the one-piece...

    Here's serious contender, but it doesn't list a weight rating. But it's basically the same design as a marine plow anchor. IMO, the one-piece solutions are the only ones that these trucks won't disassemble. https://www.dnaoffroad.com.au/ground-grabber-winch-anchor-large.html

    When / if I add a winch, I'll likely carry a marine plow anchor. They are basically the best for all environments (sand, mud, rock) and have the best holding power and weight rating. They aren't cheap, though. I had a surprisingly small one I kept in my old Chevy's recovery kit and used it...

    Yeah, saw this on FB today and that old spark lit up thinking about this thread.
  6. Third From Texas

    AWD and Slip

    I've read a few comments from LMTV owners about noticing control/skid issues in the rear while driving on ice that were not present before installing their rear lockers (sounded like they were describing unexpected "spinout"). Granted, big heavy trucks on ice are a handful, but I don't like...

    AWD and Slip

    That's more along the lines of my thinking. But I admittedly don't know what's possible and what's not. I've built sand cars and desert pre-runners but my LMTVs have been my first introduction to air brakes. When GeoPen mentioned this in a sort of "wouldn't if be cool if" sorta way, I...

    Rgr all. What I *really* want is the ability to engage and disengage a mechanical locker. But that seems to be beyond the scope of technology somehow for these trucks. What I don't want are fulltime locked diffs front and rear (or even just rear, honestly).
  9. Third From Texas

    AWD and Slip

    I've been stuck before and had people say "you're not in four-wheel-drive" to which I reply "it's not a four-wheel-drive truck" which always results in a puzzled look. Heh Something GeoPen and I briefly discussed a couple years ago came to mind the other day as I was driving. As I understand...
