FMTV SRW recovery pictures

[ramdough]

Anyone have any experience and pictures of their self-recovery?

How well did the winch work?

I am curious what you thought about the system in use, how it was rigged, and how stuck you were.

I've used the SRW on my M1081 a number of times - skidding cut logs up a steep incline, moving a 40' CONEX shipping container, pull a M-35 from a snowed-in pasture, pulling itself out of mud, and out of a snow bank. The logs were single-pull, the others required dual-lines via a snatch block at the far end. I don't have any pics handy.
I've only pulled from the front fairlead, I like to see where I'm going and what I'm pulling. I've not rigged for rear fairlead towing.
System worked as advertised every time, though occasionally I have problems with the PDM relay popping before use. Reset and run though.
Additionally, there's a whole TM on vehicle recovery techniques, will find and upload that later.

At a minimum, I would like to see them in full resolution. But, to help everyone else, I would upload to YouTube at full resolution and share.


I really would like to see some self recoveries as well..... granted those are probably less often done.


Thanks!!!!!!!!!

biggest thing would like to see is process of running/routing cable when you have to switch pull direction?

Here some pictures of a revovery. I didn't be aware that I pull out the truck and the jeep together.

Are you saying that both vehicles were tied together and both stuck? You pulled both out?

Yes, they were tied together. I didn't notice about it, I saw it only after I pull them out...

My email is ramdough@ramdough.com

Please do send any and all information you can. Also, any schematics you have would be great.

If you sell piece parts, blank boards, whatever else, I would like those prices as well.

What all is included in your complete finished product? Do you have more pictures outside and inside the box?


Thanks
Douglas
