That makes 5 trucks so far. Should be interesting.

Do you still have my strap hook thing?

What kind of trucks?

 

[RustyM923]

M925a2. 2 pinzgauers. 1 jeep? 1 ford pickup.

And probably 80 other trucks of people I don't know.

And a raptor.

I went there several times in '84-'85 when I was based at Norton AFB. That is one fun place to mess around at.

Do you guys do this on a regular basis, I live in Big Bear and have an M932A2 and would love to hang out with other Big Tuck lovers , or maybe get you guys can come to Big Bear when we get some real snow, I know ALL of the roads here big enough for our trucks

This is my truck here. We sure had some fun. It's amazing what a few snatch blocks and a good winch truck can do.

OOOOPS I don't have a winch on mine but sure wish I did, there was a 923A2 next to mine in Barstool when I went there to do a prior inspection but unfortunately it wasn't part of that auction vent. I've looked at a Warn 24 volt 20,000 pound unit but it's a bit pricey. Got a question that I haven't researched yet, but what' up with the " do not use low range in reverse" thing. I heard it's bad on the torque converter but don't know why ?

 

[FASTNOVA]

I have a winch on mine, but it did me no good. I had to be pulled out from the rear.

The whole thing with not putting it in reverse while in low is that you can break your transfer case. Lots of info here on it.

 

[bogshotrods]

Ok thanks, all I had heard is that you could blow the torque converter and that really didn't make much sense as the converter drives the tranny in either direction

Here is a video of them winching me out.

Cool videos, and quite a gathering of different rigs to help. Don't think I'll be ready to play in mud this weekend, have to replace right front steering knuckle boot and don't want to fill it with mud and don't thin I'll have time to fix it with COLD weather starting tonight. I have a nice shop here in Big Bear but no room to put Hugo ( trucks name as in Huge Old Truck) inside to change the boot, but post more pics and keep me in the loop and feel free to contact me direct for the next fun day. Don't do mud in my Bronco rock crawler but Hugo might be fun
