      Winches are not rated for overhead lifting. A hoist can be used as a winch, a winch can not be used as a hoist.

      2500 RPM is probably a bit much but a high idle should ensure you are getting full output from the alternator. Watching the volt meter...

      Which is exactly why I think I'm running out of battery. Occasionally when winching the voltage on the dash drops to zero and check...

      That's just a fancy name for a hoist.

      This is correct terrain definitely has an impact on what gear you should carry . For many trails in the PNW and Alaska a kinetic rope...

      Great especially since I've pretty much adopted a must run out a lot of line policy. Either winch to a far enough tree or recovery ring...

      Googled it because I was curious. Looks like the Army calls it by either name, respective to which direction they are pulling.

      Yes that's a different system entirely. The ECHS is attached to the air frame & rotates downward. That hoist was most likely retrofitted...

      I found a complete soft top on FB so I sold my hard top and picked up the soft top. I loved the look of the black top but started...

      Agreed. I’m on my third M8000 motor, and if this one dies, I’ll be upgrading. How’s the 9.5XP been treating you?

      Winches are only good until they break... arguably I've learned at this point to just about always use a snatch block/recovery ring...

      I must’ve been thinking of the winch that I’ve seen lift people. It looks to be located closer to the front.
