Warn Axon 55-S Hitch Mounted Winch (11,000lbs pull capacity!) Extremely Portable 

The Pilot rocked it on my trip trip to Uwharrie! I can’t wait to edit the footage! I didn’t even use the winch.

@@GotterAdventure Better to be over-prepared than under, eh? Glad to hear it was a great experience, looking forward to the tidbits you share. :)

Thanks I can’t wait to try it out this weekend!

Thanks man and will do!

That would be awesome! At the very least you could use it in the rear of the vehicle.

I used the winch in Colorado to make it up a steep incline that may gearing couldn't overcome. It was a straight line pull and the winch did great. It wasn't fast, but it pulled me up. I love the fact I can use it front or rear, or on another vehicle.

It would work even better for a CRV. You would just need to find ways to mount it. You could start with a rear hitch receiver. Check out my custom front hitch mount video to see how I did it. My video this Thursday will have some winch action in it!

It won't be possible to have it hidden and have enough reinforcement to support the winch. Check out my hidden hitch receiver video to see how much space you have to work with.

Here is the video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NvpooU40VAs.html

The Pilot weights 4500lbs. I have two snatch rings, so if I need to I can triple the capacity and pull my bumper off 🥲

@@GotterAdventure best use of this emoji.

@@singlespeedjohnny 😂

I have pulled many big vehicles and objects over the years with a 2500 lb winch. Portable is so much better. Hitch mount is great. Just practice using your pullys and set up. It seems like everyone likes to look of a front mounted winch, but it really limits you. Nice video.

Sorry for the delay. I had to purchase it separately.

I built a custom hidden hitch Receiver. Check out the video in my feed

If you are talking about a rough rid off road the best thing you can do is air down your tires. You could try buying a new set of KYB or Bilstein front struts, but that isn't guaranteed to help. Disconnecting the sway bars does smooth out the ride, but it is a bit of work and the swaybar can get in the way of the suspension if you don't suspend it out of the way.

@@GotterAdventure I was mainly focussing on the on road ride comfort. It is not "horrible" (like the 2014 Lincoln MKX is!) otherwise I would not have bought it. I just wish it were better. Especially over these 8" diameter potholes that I can not seem to avoid, the umpteen manhole covers that either stick up 2" above or are sunken in 2" below the pavement. (They NEVER seem to get those at the right height!) And the piss poor interstate 40 going pretty much once you leave texas at the New Mexico border all the way to Flagstaff Arizona and back across, THAT is some wretched pavement! Tax dollars hard at lining a politician's pocket I guess 🤦‍♂️ Thanks for the reply!

@@coyote102076 bigger tires and less psi would help a lot at the expense of MPGs. Another option could be adding more weight to the vehicle LOL

@@GotterAdventure indeed. I have those stupid 18" wheels too. so less sidewall always = stiffer ride. If I could put on a 2" lift and swap out the 18's for 17's and run a set of P265/70R17 Kumho AT51's I am sure that alone would help some too. I am asking around if going to something like the KGB's you mentioned or perhaps a Monroe Sensa-trac shocks would be of any bennifit for the price. Not sure if they make Bilstein shocks for it, have not researched it, but those always rode great and what was on my Envoy that rode so smooth.

@@coyote102076 I'm not a big fan of monroe shocks...

I made a video about building my front hitch

Thanks!

Uwharrie was amazing and the Pilot did awesome! I can’t wait to edit my footage 😁

1) I own my Pilot and don’t want a loan. 2) my Pilot is unique. 3) my Pilot can carry 8 people. 4) I’m having fun! 5) A Jeep is better off-road, but I like a challenge .

@@GotterAdventure agree I have a Pilot too

@@GotterAdventure I’m a Jeep owner, and what you stated is exactly why I’ve been following your channel. Great to see something that’s not just different, but a sleeper off-roader. Keep it up

I also have much more fun with my crv than with a jee
