Hmmm Portals

[Diesel Cruiserman]

If I had a boat load of cash kicking around I would buy up a set of these..

Is that STILL the same cruiser in the ad?

Must be selling like hotcakes.

I'm now in distress! Both run about $5000 Can, so it's a price match. Hmmm, wonder if I can get them to deal?

This or the Gigglepin winch! Decisions......

But to get back to Rob's initial comment, IF I had that kind of cash, I'd be over there building a truck from scratch!

Do you guys think you really need those ? Post up some pics of your trucks in a situation that they would have helped .

What? the portals or the winch?

Either one . That gigglepin thing would be great if winch racing was your thing . I think most of us on this side of the pond like to drive up stuff rather than winch . An old 8274 with an upgraded motor and a dc contactor instead of solenoids will pull faster and harder than anything you'll need . I don't think ground clearance is really an issue either . I think body clearance or protection would be more important to any of the guys on here given the hardcoreness ( is that a word) of the photos or situations I have seen any of you put your trucks in . If you feel that is not the case , I'd be happy to go out and demonstrate for you in a real situation . Or you could just tag along on a blackflag run .

Portals do seem too much for me, but 'for each his own' - as they say. As to winches, I know the giggle pin is fast, but it's the power that I like. Pure entertainment.
