Winch hill 4 was a tuff son of a bitch but all three of us made it without winching.
Literally asked for the hook, but nobody heard me so I thought I would give it one more try.
Add to my surprise, she pulled right up
List time it was hard at the bottom now it’s hard 3/4 of the way up.
Winch hill 5 was a walk in the park last time now it’s a struggle as well.
And no we didn’t take the by pass to the left.
I well work on getting some videos up

Most of the videos are taken by someone else
In this case my friends Kenn son Wyatt.
Very impressive, Fordyce isn't for the faint of heart, my rig defiantly is not worthy...
Thanks for the vids.

5500 with you in it is light.
Ive thought of ways to make you rig lighter...glass, the sunroof remove could shed maybe 50 to 75lbs or more.
Also wondering if you start replacing rear & side glass with plexiglass could shed more weight.
I believe your 2nd row seating out.
Maybe you could put helium in your tubing to lighten you up...just joking.
no, yeah, well, no, but yeah seriously.

Not sure how I keep ending up in the 80 series section, but I’ve almost convinced @shellb to trade
I’ll even throw in my German made super car 2002 Jetta wagon which is basically a Porsche….right?Edit: Typing that last line made me feel like everyone who owns a Prado…I mean 250.

Rub it in! It is 19 deg and we are about to get a major storm of snow, sleet and freezing rain. They are expecting us to loose power for days. Glad I stopped at the ABC store
