Idk. Guess I'd have to look at it. Good thinking....fenders feel pretty flimsy.

 

[CheapThrillB2]

Maybe 2.5" between sidewall and fender. Wonder if I could get another .5" less back spacing with rims. Then take an inch from each fender.

Not worth it. Get another trailer

I'll have the same issue with another trailer :sonicjay:.

I had figured about doing the same thing with my enclosed for wide tires but never got around to it. I think that is the only option because hard drive over fenders cause height problems again. The important thing is to figure out how much they articulate inward.

Don't care:sonicjay:

Considering purchasing a new winch for the front of the buggy and moving the warn to the rear. I have not been overly impressed with the warn since I got it.

I have been considering

XRC 9.5 GEN2 Comp Series Winch w/rope $449.99
This is appealing because its a 9,500 lb rate, and comes with 3/8's rope. But the gear ratio is low is it would be slower. And I can't seem to find alot of reviews for it.

X2O 10 GEN2 Comp Series Winch $549.99
Rated at 10K, also comes with 3/8 rope , but has a higher ratio so it would be quicker. Its also rated to be "water proof".

Which Warn do you have and what don't you like?

I have been less than impressed with a couple warns (both m8000's on sub 4k rigs, both over heated and stopped pulling long before they should have)

 

[CheapThrillB2]

I bought a used m8000 a while ago. It was clean when I got it but prior life unknown. I replaced the motor and eventually all the solenoids with warn parts. Wasn't long before I started having solenoid issues again. It got sold off with my green explorer.

The buggy has a vr8000 on it. I won it at snofari last year. It seems to be starting to have solenoid issues as well. And I have seemed to have stalled it out on occasion on pulls that weren't very demanding.

I figure I will install the vr in the back of the buggy and whatever I buy new up front. If I don't like what I buy I can swap that to the rear and move the vr back up front.

I would like a new rope. And for not a whole lot more $ I can buy a new winch with rope on it.

8274 and winch issues will be a thing of the past :teehee:

 

[CheapThrillB2]

Weird seems almost everyone I have wheeled with an 8724 has had winch issues :teehee:. I said almost.

Maybe those with 8724's have a problem because that's the wrong code. It's 8274, not 8724. oke: My 8274 is older than most on this board and still pulling strong. It's also one of the fastest winches out there, has room for more cable/rope, plus easy access for additional in-cab wiring and solenoids.

I realize it is harder to package and super expensive to buy new but I think it's still one of the best ever designs.

I have been running the standard sec8 for a couple years now and it has been great....never an issue even though some tough pulls (2 hour winch fest up the side of the mountain in 100* heat in windrock)...it is also reasonably quick ..i think you can get that one down closer to 500$ if you shop around....i think i payed 300$ for the standard version. My only knock on mine is it's a little tough to pull rope (i have trailgear rope on mine i won in a raffle) in free spool but aside from that i wouldn't ask for more.

Just throwing it out as a option
