maybe 5% of the time;)

Costs vs. benefits

it's adding less than 5% additional overall weight, does the additional weight with a winch "outweigh" the cost you give up with the possibility that you might lose some traction due to the additonal weight in a very few instances.

Everything is all about perspective.

While I know Neil's stuff weighs a lot more, I can't see it weight that much more. Do you have the exact numbers - stocks with winch vs your new setup?


I wouldn't be surprised if it is close to 200lbs heavier than stock. Remember that she's replacing a plastic fascia with steel, then add the weight of the winch. There's still a brushguard to add as well.

I've heard that she's worried about the additional weight. But I think her problems are more deep-seeded. She's always talking about wanting to be the 'queen' wheeler and stuff. She's got personal issues, I think.

It's not just the weight on the front that matters, it's also the balance front to rear. The new rack and rear bumper will help take care of that. If you do put it on a scale, get a per axle weight along with the total weight.

The contact patch from your 35s should take care of the extra traction needed with all the extra equipment (especially aired down). But I would be thinking about the t-bars and shocks, with all the extra sprung and unsprung weight. You might bounce more onthe stock suspension with it all. Weren't you looking into new t-bars a while back?

And fwiw, if you haven't switched to synthetic oil yet, now would be a good time. Your engine's going to be working a lot harder. You might also put a temp gauge in your tranny to see if a tranny cooler is in order.

I have to agree with this opinion of her. I noticed this when I rode with her in Moab. She's an odd cracker.:giggling:

With the Rancho's I should be able to adjust to the "9" setting and be ok.

Yes heavy duty t-bars are on the list with a 30% higher spring rate. And Rocks and I were talking about doing a dual shock set up too. It's also on the list.

Went to Synth about 20K ago. I'll talk to Miles about the tranny cooler/guage. Good idea.

I don't think it matter howm much GC or AP angle or how much weight is lost/ gained. Everytime I've seen Bebe on teh trail she's all smiles!

She makes her truck look good/ not teh mods to the truck. :jump:

Now, if she'd only quit breaking stuff!

Oh yeah, I almost forgot "":fdance:"" since we're all in that type of typing today. K?:twak: :D

ASS os OK to use. The other "words" typed are not acceptable.

I don't know sewie. I know his forum name. He has not crossed the line. Please go back an edit your posts accordingly. I have received two more PM's from other mods on the forum asking me to have you edit your posts.

Please go back and change them.

Hell, Bebes knows this is just fun now. Her truck will no doubt be badass. It all will be a learning experience and test with the newly modded equipment so seeing how it works will be cool.

Offroad equipment doesnt get perfect overnight. She is allowing folks to fabricate some completely new pieces of gear. I am sure there will be pros and cons from it all. But in the end it will be a good learning experience for all to definately BENEFIT from.

Go Bebes:beerchug:
