BADLAND 12,000 LB WINCH EXPLODES ON 6,200 LB ESCALADE, ONLY $500 & It has a good LQ9! 

Put 4x4 in it it could be the next bogger

A trick: watch series at flixzone. Been using them for watching all kinds of movies lately.

@Clay Moses Yea, been using flixzone for months myself :)

I can't believe all these comments this is the only one that got it right. At 8:05 you can see the mounting plate buckled which caused the counter rotation of the forces to break the winch. This is the #1 cause of winch failures. Wish i could thumbs up 5 more times.

@@khoatran9482 yeah, been in trucking for a lot of years, broke a lot of things loading them onto trailers. Done a crap ton of off roading and building custom trucks. Learned the hard way a few times about structural integrity. A winch is only as strong as its mount.

Finally someone got it right, this is the comment I was looking for. Just like his other video where he got his lifted suv stuck in mud. Instead of using a winch, he tried to use a kinetic rope. A kinetic rope won't get you out of suction mud.

Yeah this numbskull used a very thin ATV/SXS winch plate made for under 3500# winches, and expected it to support a 12000# winch..... Then blames the winch. Only way these idiots will learn is when companies start suing for defamation.

👍 💯

Right I've had no problems with those or other people I know.

Nokia phone 😂😂😂 those things were bullet proof

I agree. I am in the market for one and have been researching the APEX 12,000. I have not seen ONE bad review. In fact, I watched one where it pulled out a 5,000 pound tractor stuck deep into the mud and another one that pulled out a Jeep Wrangler that was seriously stuck in rocks and again, no problem. This same channel showed a one year review of the same winch and again there were no issues at all even after a hundred serious pulls. To title a video with “NEVER BUY” whatever is very misleading and just plain wrong ESPECIALLY when there was only a SINGLE incident.

Winches are rated for a rolling load not 4 flat tires also stressed it by dragging it sideways with the truck. Truck is capable of generating more than 12000 lbs

Lmfaooo

😂😂😂

You must be a newbie??? Lmfao!!

Agreed 👍

For sure

But why drop the 454 in the ramp truck?

@@OBS_Gohst92 they're slugs

Yes, somebody else pointed that out. @8:05 you can see that the flimsy base the winch was mounted on was too thin and buckled, then force of the winch seems to have tore itself apart since it was still bolted to the bending metal base. Not pointing fingers for fault, I would have thought the floor of the trailer was pretty strong but others have replied they also learned the hard way to beef up their mounting bases. You usually see winches mounted to super-beefy front bumper designed for them so I guess we don't think about the base as much ....

It is mounted backwards. He is putting tension on it backwards. Yes... this will break it. The force is against the weakest part of the brackets.

Wow, you just told him to do both options, so which one do you really want him to do, swap the engine or flip the Escalade? I'm confused

@@Diyguy518 the roller is facing the truck

@@Diyguy518 not the Escalade the tongue

@@Diyguy518 that’s still wrong

@@Diyguy518 why would you pull on one single weld on the tongue of a trailer when you could distribute the load over the whole trailer, no I don’t know everything but I know a idiot on the internet when I see one , today I’ve saw two you and Steve. Have a good one “buddy”

That's why I mounted mine to quarter inch plate

My thoughts exactly. The value of a vehicle with a reconstructed title and over 200k miles. Not worth flipping. Not unless it's actually something special or rare.

😂

So an upgraded lifted Tahoe? Yeah, no thank you

If thats off a military truck wouldn't that be a PTO winch how did you hook that up on a trailer
