Road trip to Ringgold Ga.

[73m819]

Those are nowhere near his path. I will be going to NC this weekend and will try to grab Ron's winch. I am going to Zeebeedee's house this week I hope, but we are getting snow bound. Both will be in Seagrove NC soon.

That is cool, Kenny, BOTH winches will be at my place in a short time, I am only a hour short of Blue Ridge, which would make it a easy pick up for you on your next visit north, or I can forward south.

Works well for me!

Kenny, I am shipping your cold weather with Pat too. If there is no cold weather with the winch, sue the freight carrier!

Ok. Ron's winch us in NC. Kenny yours will be here next trip. Sorry but a truck mishap dictated the delay.

No worries whatsoever! Just glad it's in friendly hands. She's a beaut isn't she?

Geez, you guys trying to turn a 400 mile road trip into a 12,000 mile one or what?


So long as I get my Berundi flag I'm good.

The national flag of Burundi does make a festive holiday decoration

I am 750 miles away, maybe Kenny has some? Its a unique winch for sure.

When I get to work I will dig up a pic. Unable to attach pics from a phone. For the inquisitive type, it's a Hickey Sidewinder. Note correct use of "a"

I don't believe I have ever seen one of those.

Does it look like this?

 

[Recovry4x4]

That's the one Larry. Prices on these are usually between $100 an $1500. Those familiar with them, covet them. Those that have never seen one shy away. They are an excellent choice for a hidden mount. A pic of mine attached.

 

[doghead]

What do you like about them?

The only thing I can see that may be beneficial is that the spool is very narrow and mounted vertically which should function much better on indirect angle pulls.

 

[doghead]

Did some searching and found a few interesting things.

That was funny !!

 

[Recovry4x4]

It's a decent winch but the ultimate draw for me is the ability to almost completely hide it behind the bumper of the truck. Treated with common sense, it should last a long time. Sacrificial abuse will net you looking for parts that just aren't that available.

And once again something Kenny gets makes us laugh (at least the video of it).
