I'll play :-) Because I'm a nerd, I have a website for each of my rigs (current and most of the past). 2006 LBZ Duramax dually (for sale): 2012 Desert Fox toy hauler. 2023 Ford f350 high output long bed crew cab. So crazy powerful and comfortable. 2020 Honda Africa Twin adventure sports...

"two intermittent no cranks..." We just replaced our starter. We had some hard click, no cranks intermittently. Then it happened more frequently. No codes. It would start on the second, third, or fourth button push. Our mechanic friend suggested we start with the starter and have had no issues...

Thank you for sharing this! We love Costco. Their return policy is so good - it can be a good insurance policy if this isn't reliable. Obviously this would be a problem if it craps out on the trail, but I'm often not alone.

Thanks so much for the video. I appreciate that your review and process are genuine and not overly polished! This is how most of us operate ;) I have the same type of ARB bumper on my LX570 (200 series) and think if/when I get this winch I will access the clutch handle from the top with the...

It looks like it is cheaper to use the 20% off coupon to get it to $480 as opposed to the winch-specific coupon to get it down to $499. You can't use both online apparently.

I'm guessing the wet weight on the off-shore boat is a bit more than 9k lbs. #liabilityconcern

Costco has Maxsa boards for $130 w/shipping right now: https://www.costco.com/maxsa-innovations-escaper-buddy-traction-mats%2c-2-pack.product.100540718.html
