it does.....well all i really did was pull the cable out and pull it back in with contoller...

hey DirtyJim the place we`re goin....are there gonna be any go arounds incase i dont feel comfortable doin that section or?
 
yeah, but theres a big mud pit that the water is going to cover your tires, prob touch your rockers
 
:eek1: :eek1: :eek1:

well hopefully you`ll let me know what to do and what not to do
 
nahh i wont let you go into something that will ruin your truck, plus my uncle tows on the weekends in that area
 
Ya ought to pull it back out and wind it up with tension on the cable. Loose winding can cause the cable to cut into the underlying layers and damage them, at the least it can get jammed up easily!

Much agreed, just tie off to something on flat ground and let the winch pull the truck in neutral, its a crucial step..
 
so all i have to do is just like hook it up to a tree then just pull it

yeah I wheeled with a guy that has a warn 9.5... it was a spagetti mess.... he looked at my winch cable and was like.. aww that is so neatly wrapped....

but when he pulled his out.. it was a cluster... and a pain to pull out...

so we used mine... when he pulled it he was amazed at what 7/16" x 90' looked like :haha:

he was like HOLLY FRICKEN THICK BATCABLES!!!!!
 
I use my civic, just put it in nuetral pull the ebrake and pull it. works great and I don't have to walk with my truck.
