    Quick info or a pic needed for winch mount

    Yeah I thought about doing a front receiver. If I do I’ll probably just weld a receiver tube to the bottom of the winch mount. Not really the main concern at the moment. And to clarify I don’t have a dying need for the winch to be mounted I’m just tired of staring at a brand new winch in a box...

    Looking to see if anyone in Portland, Oregon and surrounding area could do a solid and get paid for nothing.

    So as the title says it would be an easy $300.00-$400.00 dollars. As some of you know I’m wheel chair bound now. I’m moving to a new house and need to rent an enclosed trailer. U haul doesn’t have any big enough I need an enclosed trailer cause it’s to high and hard for me to load a U-Haul truck...

    Trading in my hiking boots for off road tires. Looking for a tad bit of help. (Thread for disabled controls)

    Ohhhhhh Hmmm that’s a great idea. Not quite store bought items. But definitely worth its weight in a side build. Considering I used to own a motorcycle shop I could easily fab it up and make custom cables. Switch the Shepard for one of my Blue Heeleers and we are rolling lol I ordered some...

    Could really use some good ideas

    I have had it on the street since I bought the house. Mostly because a few neighbors like to park actuall junk cars (always towed in) up and down the street.
