I've seen videos four times as long that weren't even half as good as yours . Awesome Channel. And awesome Zook. I came here for the Jimny and subscribed because your good content. Greets from Germany

Dude you are really underrated

I don't own 4x4 neither do I know anything about off-road and I still watched the whole video :D Some very high quality content here! Keep up the good work!

It seems that I've achieved my goal then :) Thank you!

Personally I’d never go for steel rope, synthetic is so much safer

Excelente video una pregunta de cuántas libras debe de ser el winche para un corro como este ? Gracias

@The4x4Lab 6 месяцев назад

There is a lot of misconcception about winches out there. I believe, you should get the biggest one that you can fit. I'm running a 9500lbs on the Jimny.

Много полезно видео! Този бял дим от ауспуха от спукана глава ли е?

@The4x4Lab Год назад

Беше спукана по едно време и я сменяхме. Два дена се чудих къде изчезва антифриза 😄 Не помня дали преди преди или след снимането на това видео 🤔

Great, simple instruction delivered clearly as always. I have a question regarding battery power- I want to fit a winch on my jimny (steel bumper)... I'm struggling to find 8000/9000/9500 lb winches at a good price but there are lots of 13500 winches available. (For jimny self recovery only- I know 13500 power is overkill but at least the winch won't ever have to work hard and will always be in the low end of its power availability no matter how stuck the jimny is. I have standard 70a alternator and dual parallel batterys ( no isolators ) Starter battery is 400cca and second battery is 320cca all charged by standard alternator. Could you offer any advice? Have you upgraded battery or alternator?? My worry is that I won't have enough battery/alternator power to safely run it without damaging something. Thanks. Keep up the great work!!! Tom

You are correct, one needs to think about the battery that will service the winch... I have put the largest Optima deep cycle battery that fits under the bonnet! I hope this helps

Excellent video! Well done. Very informative too. It was so refreshing to be listening to your voice instead of noisy background music. Made it much easier to understand your explanations.

@The4x4Lab Год назад

Thanks! I try not to use music when explaining more technical stuff that require a bit of focus ;)

@waynegray6453 Год назад

Great video, you should mention the reason the black sheath is on the winch line. There are many people that have winches that have no idea what it is for as you and I both know it is there to protect the Rope should I run over any sharp objects. Keep up the good work. 🇳🇿

@The4x4Lab Год назад

Yes, the protective sleeve is stored at the end of the rope for convenience and is used wherever the line needs protection to minimize wear and tear. Thank you for this addition. 🙂

@Unpredictable1819 Год назад

Great explanation. Keep up the good work laddie! Subscribed.

@The4x4Lab Год назад

Thanks for the sub! Will do

This was an excellent video! Short and to the point! I have a 2x4 Tacoma but wanted to get a winch because, I'd rather have one and not use it, than need one and not have it. I wasn't sure how to use one for a vehicle when stuck and you've answered all my questions! Thanks!
