Update .... just for giggles I grabbed a cheap radio shack antenna I've had shoved in the attic for a while. 46 digital channels, including my beloved Indy channel (ABC). WHY did it take me so long to dump cable?
Indy was a hell of a finish today.
did some baselining of rig today then went exploring some of the back roads near MT rainer today.
Scouted a few lakes.... lots of fire roads and camp sites, an OHV park and some extremely rutted forest service roads. Put them all in the GPS for future use.

How'd the old fluid look? Everything good to go?did some baselining of rig today then went exploring some of the back roads near MT rainer today.

Nothing visibly bad, but its been in there for about 2 years so was hard to tell. (truck sat for the last two years, not its been in there driving around for that time)
I do have a high idle. Most common things on these trucks is a coolant sensor, vacuum leak or a leaky TB to manifold gasket. So i'll be replacing those one by one in the next coming weeks.
I've always liked them also. For and expo, light wheeling, camping, easy of working on, parts availability (in the US), and relibility its really a combo that can't be beat.
On a trail it's no 80 to start with and never will be able to match a modified one no matter how I modify it and its size quickly makes itself apparent. But at the same time most of the trail in western washington that are too small for a Burb are going to be extremely tight on a cruiser as well.... especially in terms of height. Most of the trail rigs around here have an extremely low center of gravity with cut up fenders front and rear on 38's or higher.... the height limit on many trails is around 80 inches but still need as much ground clearance as possible.
So this will do for my exploring and camping needs. I will modify the hell out if it in the coming years and at the same time be on the look out for a clapped out 40 to make into a trail only rig.
That was awesome. Any sport/activity that can be participated in by people that have very little money gets a big thumbs up for me!

Yes, jeeps. But I was thinking more along these lines:
Looking for a little help. My wife bought me a Superwinch LP10,000 for my birthday. I am working to put the my kit together and just want any advice or comments. Here is the list i plan on going with
20,000WLL snatch block
https://www.amazon.com/ARB-Products...dp/B0010E5RAI?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0
26,500lb tree saver
https://www.amazon.com/ARB-Products...dp/B0010E5RAI?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0
13,000 WLL Shackles (x2)
Crosby 7/8" G-209 Screw Pin Anchor Shackle - 6-1/2 Ton WLL - #1018516
10,500WLL Soft Shackles (x2)
Soft Shackles, Tube Savers & Load Equalizing Bridles : 1/2" Southeast Overland Soft Shackle | Southeast Overland
I'm setting this up to handle a double line pull, I just dont quite understand the dynamics of how the load is distributed across the components in a double line pull. The soft shackles are for singles only.
Any help is appreciated.

Thats a steel cable one? Get a superwinch line damper for sure, and a 30ft 2" strap. The large ARB bag that Steve sells at Southeast is great for all the stuff. And with the steel line, thick leather gloves can be critical when handling.
And I always plug taking a winch class at UORTC, learning is best from people who do it everyday, in my opinion. Has helped me a great deal.

Yep, steel cable. Got gloves, dampers, and extension taking care of. I was planning on taking the recovery course, but I think I am going to wait until the Toyota Trek in November.
Double line pulls are fairly easy to understand from the physics point of view .... here is why. If the tension in the line is 10,000# just remember that has to be the tension at every point in the line. So if the line is connected to something ONCE (say a tree) the load at the tree is 10,000#. If the line is connected TWICE (e.g. snatch block and then to a tree) the load there is 20,000#.
The pic below is sadly depicting mass as a force but you get the idea:
So, assuming a double line pull, with a 10,000 lb winch, that has a snatch block shackled to a tree saver, routed back to the vehicle. Both shackles, tree saver, snatch block, and recovery point on the vehicle should all have a minimum of 20,000 WLL?
Rice beat me to it! Only thing I'll add is that a winch operating in a single-line pull is a single pulley system and a winch operating with a snatch-block is a two-pulley system:
How do pulleys work? | How do pulleys increase lifting force?
How do pulleys work? | How do pulleys increase lifting force?
Almost. If the tree saver wraps around the tree and BOTH ends are connected to the shackle then load on the tree saver is 10,000# (Something to think about when hooking up the tree saver). The shackle at the snatch block = 20,000#, but the shackle connected to the vehicle is 10,000# (the pull on the vehicle is 20,000# but it is coming from 2 different connect points). The snatch block and the tree = 20,000#.
