RE: A birthday present for my friend

in Weekend Experiences27 days ago

Is take a winch for sure!

I usually have them on my 4x4's although haven't put one on my current truck just yet as I don't think I need it just now...it'll happen before my big lap trip though...so send it over!

Sort:  

Fuck 🙂
If you had said: helmet, I would have easily managed, but for the winch, I'll have to consult with you further 🙂

What is the model of the vehicle? Can the bumper be drilled (due to warranty)? Or should I buy you a built-in winch in the bumper? I will also need a picture of the bumper to see if it is nickel plated or painted, to get the same color, if we are changing it for a bumper with a built in winch. Which drive would you like? Do you want to be independent of the power supply and engine operation, so I can get you a manual transmission, or does your SUV have a hydraulic connection? Or would you prefer the electric one?
Do you have any accessories on the vehicle, since you will be towing a trailer with it, how heavy is it, so that I know exactly how heavy the whole set is so that I can choose a winch with the appropriate pulling force.
I'd take a winch with a synthetic reel, unless you want a traditional, steel one that can't be damaged on sharp rock edges?
I would get you a slower winch with a higher transmission ratio, if you ever tow a vehicle with a trailer, so that it goes smoothly...
You have chosen a nice gift, but just as the title says, a gift for a friend, we would have to be acquaintances/friends, to drink coffee together and for me to know you well in order to know exactly which of the above suits you 🙂
But I'm glad I got what you would like for birthday 😀
And my boomerang?

I have a Toyota Landcruiser and it has an ARB Summit bullbar on it which is already winch-ready. I'm planning to put the Warn Zeon winch, probably the 12-S, into it one of these days. I prefer electric winches and like the synthetic cable rather than steel.

As for the boomerang, I'll throw one your way...I'm not responsible for the damage it may cause to you if you cop it in the head though. Lol.

Warn Zeon 12-S Winch

It would be a very expensive gift 😀 Maybe I would buy you such an expensive gift for your wedding rather than for your birthday 🙂

If I don't catch him here, watch your head over there, so it doesn't come back to you 🙂

Lol, yeah those bastards come back so it might be me that gets a cracked noggin.
