I'm between a Superwinch TS Synthetic and an M8000S. There's quite a price difference between the two, just don't know if I'll actually need it yet. I've got some other stuff I need to do before the winch purchase, so it'll probably be a few months out.

I really want to go with a Warn. My only concern is the M8000 is just under the 1.5X total loaded weight per my rough estimate. If really loaded down a 9000 would be more ideal, but the price jump to the 9000 in the Warn is significantly higher without synthetic.

you should consider the Comeup Seal Gen2 9.5rsi which is what i went with.
Things i like about it:
Ø3/8" x 100' synthetic rope
2 remotes: both wired & wireless (i did not run wires & switches to the dash)
can be had for $1100
SEAL Gen2 9.5rsi, 12V WINCH*| COMEUP USA

After reading multiple sources over the course of weeks, I ordered the M8000-S a few days ago.

Just one more box for the garage

Oh hey by the way, did you relocate your washer reservoir?

Been slacking a bit on updating this with some recent adventures.


I made the trek down to Demello to get my bumper installed since I had some errands to run in the area anyways. Unfortunately they were all out of town for the Toyota Jamboree, but @jdemello managed to squeeze in my install anyways. Huge thanks for coming in on your day off guys



Took her out for a spin through Joshua Tree, Berdoo Canyon, and the surrounding areas to get some fresh dirt on the bumper





Desert View Conservation Area



Campsite for the night. Sunset looked amazing.

For Memorial Day weekend, a few friends and I tried to hit up Pismo but all of the camp spots were at full capacity. We ended up heading back up to Prewitt Ridge where we camped earlier this month. Ran into @LB_T4R and @carlomagne on the way up the ridge (next time we need to take a photo guys!!).



I literally washed the truck a few days ago thinking I wasn't going on any trips for a few months.



The crew







Wishing someone brought a wide angle lens, but this will suffice.

Awesome pics

Looks like an awesome trip/trips! Prewitt is definitely a good fall back.

Yeah can't go wrong with Prewitt. I wish we went somewhere new though...been hitting the same spots on a few trips already

Yeah we lucked out and had half of the ridge to ourselves. You should've stayed and hit the trail with us!

I have been wanting to do Usal for a long time. The South side is much closer than you think. I was there a few weeks ago and it was closed, should be open by now.
