Your winch exploded due to the wienie 1/8" thick plate it was on. Winches partially use that plate to prevent the two halves from rotating all caddywhompus.
the mounting plate is why it failed...let the body of the which bend and brake.... mount the winch with thick plate or something thicker metal so it want flex any.
Use a block and takle when pulling anything with a winch it reduces the stress on the winch and doubles the pulling power. I've pulled 25k with a 12k badlands winch with no problems ever.
Do not put a shit winch on anything that can leave you stranded somewhere potentially dangerous, on trailer hell yeah and twice on Sunday. My motto is if you even have to question it, don’t bet you life on it... because you might!!
My little brother used to ride he was like have to grow eyes in back of your head , he hit a patch of gravel just doin 30 tried correct it from coming from up under him and went over the handle bars and barb wire fence so needles say he picked a new hobby , we tried get him back to ride as he loved it , but I guess seeing life go before your eyes and a heavy ass bike flipping and you get a front row seat does something to you, his crazy buddy best fried laid it down a a few times has road rashes to as proof nothing crazy just bad luck ,
@@hillbillydelux75 my little brother was on a ride with our dad and watched our dad dit a deer at 60 on a goldwing. My dad still rides as much as he can all summer but he's a otr trucker and isn't home much my brother hasn't completely stopped riding bike but doesn't ride much now. I try to ride as much as possible and keep my head on a swivel when I ride because the only person's moves I can anticipate are my own.
Run the red Jeep with 37x12.5s and exoskeleton cage. 😂 and the winch needs a thicker plate. I've ran the same winch for 6 years on a trailer and receiver hitch but my plate is ¼ thick.
I've had one of those winches for 2 years and it drags my suburban up red clay hills at my farm and moves what I need moved I can tell you that you have to watch angles of how and where you pull stuff on any winch you can break anything my dodge 4x4 tow truck has a 440 Holmes and a warn on the front winch pto style for over 20 years and I did break stuff all the time learning to use it, I learned you got to really take your time and go slow you are working with a lot of torque I could totally destroy my warn or the badlands easy getting them in a bind, but with that said I have noticed on the badlands if don't watch you can get the cable in one spot on the spoil while winching and bow the whole winch in the middle I changed to synthetic rope because of this that automatic line thing doesn't work if you use the cable on a long pull you have to stop and unwind and rewind it I really think that's what yours did
Most winch manufacturers recommend getting a winch rated a minimum of 2.5 times the weight of the vehicle. If you put it on the F350, you will be going back to get winch number 4 in about two months (or less). Take the parts that you need off the red xj and relist it for sale. Somebody wanting to make an xj on 44s and 1 ton axles will buy it. Or if you don't want to go to that trouble, just scrap what's left.
The only time I’ve seen one break is when someone tries using them as a snatch rope they aren’t made for jerking no winch is really . You mount them solid and use constant tension while winching and don’t use winch as a tow point they should last
I've been wheelchair bound for 2 years from a careless driver I was going 35 mph and they ran a stop sign and it happened so fast I couldn't do anything
The first thing I do with a winch REGARDLESS of who makes it, is take it apart and grease everything especially the planetaries cuz they all come with so little grease new!
Dang that thing runs so good I’d probably keep it together and drive it!! And I like all the vlogs. Repairs, wheeling, random, they’re all entertaining. 🤟😎
Must suck to have a crappy winch all the time to deal with! Just go buy a warn 8274 and be done with it already lol They are cheap good used.. I have used mine with NO trouble ever!
Thanks for the advice about the motorcyclist, I got my license about a month ago and never delt with them on the road so, I’ll be careful with them. The winch I think would be cool to see on the trailer
youd think at some point something would click in his head like oh this isnt good quality him nah im just gonna keep buying it and bitching when it breaks steve stop it if its trash its trash dont keep wasting your money on it hell its a harbor freight winch everyone knows harbor freight is cheap and not usually so great just buy a damn warren winch at this point or something else
What do you think would cause a 12000 apex badland winch to continuously retract ? Only a year old, never left outside, always taken in doors after use. Thank you
The rc is literally the same winch. I'd bet money it, the hf, and smittybuilts are all made in the same factory. The difference is what you have them mounted to.
Ok just wanted to help you out with your wench problem it's not the wench that's the problem it's the base that it is attaching to if the base flexes and the wench housing is not designed for the stresses it needs a solid base plate I use a ½"thick base plate attached my wench to it then welded the base plate to what ever I wanted it has now been on three trucks and is currently on my gooseneck trailer and I have pulled a 40' container onto the gooseneck trailer no problem also pulled an 1175 case tractor onto the trailer never an issue I've learned the hard way too it takes a strong base plate to handle the stress of a strong wench and it doesn't matter if it is harbor freight or a Warren if the base plate cannot take the stresses the wench will fail
Steve: return that shit winch and replace it with a Rough Country one. Yeah, it's no big deal to run to Harbor Freight and get a new one when it breaks again, but real safety concern with that new one...what if you're doing a recovery and end up rolling the other vehicle because the winch snaps... and I condone all your antics, so that's saying something.
I'll watch whatever u post Steve as long as u post a video I'll watch it keep up the good work
Truly appreciate that bud 👏🏻 thank you
Channel should be called:
"Takes forever getting to the title"
I like both

You my friend get a like for "caddywhompus."
@@RealMrNails haha
I think it’s spelled cattywampus **
You film it - we watch it ! 😃👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I like a mix of videos. Just live your life and have fun.
Needs at least 1/4" base plate. That universal plate is thin.
I like the vlog style as well
I like all the videos
This guy is the reason HOAs we’re created 😂
I use the Warn 12000 pound winch with synthetic rope. It works very well.
I like both videos Steve

but is it a badlands winch or some knockoff from harbor frieght called badlands although your statement is correct for winching in general
Nice looking yard
I like the day by day vlogs I'd watch em and like em every time!
Day by day and off road put it on the trailer stay positive and stay safe
Me, I like any and all the content you post.
Universal receiver hitch and quick disconnect terminal for power. Easy for all receivers

Day by day blogging is good
Thanks for the motorcycle announcement in the beginning man! I appreciate it.
I like the vlog vids and yes preach motorcycle awareness I ride too and I get to be paranoid at times on my bike

I have the older 12k and used the hell out it without ever having an issue
Thank you for warning people about motorcycles
You need a lone wolf 6000
YES!!! AS SOMEONE NOW IN A WHEELCHAIR, PLEASE WATCH FOR MOTORCYCLES!
Definitely the best vid yet the daily vlog is my favorite
I like the random videos and I think the winch on the trailer would be cool
What happened to the big garage/shop you looked at around first of the year?
He's broke and cant afford it
More content let’s gooo

Vlogging videos get my vote.
Yeah I like daily vlog
Make the winch portable between your trucks and the trailer receiver hitches.

Try the 12000lb Apex Badland next!
You should mount it on the trailer..
Day to day bud. Keep up the grind
Did you decide to build the camper ? And how’s the shop coming

Omg, its got a straight 6 ! Love those motors.
Love to see the daily Content
I like the say to day stuff. I often find my self stalking a bit wondering "whats steve up to, haven't seen a video in awhile". 😂
Inspector videos please
I will suggest a set of lockers for the diffs
Mount the hitch on the trailer. So you can use it to winch your vehicles onto the trailer.
Keep doing what your doing.. liking the off road videos mixed in with others..
I like this kind of vlog style! Good content Steve!
Love the LS Nasty hoodie. Keep the content coming Steve love what your doing.
The only time I’ve seen one break is when someone tries using them as a snatch rope they aren’t made for jerking no winch is really . You mount them solid and use constant tension while winching and don’t use winch as a tow point they should last
37s and have fun
Salute to you and your family,,,,, always incredible life motivational..... Saving my life everyday man.
That's just some Pittsburg jack stands and jack.
The winch just needs a proper owner mod.
I’ve had great luck with the badland winches
Put itbon the kids quad
8:10 now Steve has coolant all over it’s yard 🤣🤣
I'm sure he doesn't care maybe it's for the dog when he is thirsty
I've been wheelchair bound for 2 years from a careless driver I was going 35 mph and they ran a stop sign and it happened so fast I couldn't do anything
It is what it is I'm building a trike now
I’m good with any content you put out atleast it’s something to watch keep doing you and keep grinding
The first thing I do with a winch REGARDLESS of who makes it, is take it apart and grease everything especially the planetaries cuz they all come with so little grease new!
I look forward to your videos. 7 days a week or 1 day a week.
Dude you really do need a shed/shop to do yer work in. It would make it a lot easier for you when working on the builds.
I put the winch on the trailer
what are u doing with the rv
Dang that thing runs so good I’d probably keep it together and drive it!! And I like all the vlogs. Repairs, wheeling, random, they’re all entertaining. 🤟😎
37s in have fun it’s already bet up take it off-roading
What was leaking from the bottom of the red xj? I saw it when you were trying to climb the 2nd hill..
looks like a fuel line
Take it mudding and have fun
Must suck to have a crappy winch all the time to deal with! Just go buy a warn 8274 and be done with it already lol They are cheap good used.. I have used mine with NO trouble ever!
Any updates on the new shop yet? Did they get the work done to it ?
Daily VLOG
STEVE that jeep has MASSIVE leak
No I poked a hole in the floor to drain water
On my Jeep off the batteries been dead you gotta start it at half throttle
Put 37s on the jeep
I like the daily vlogs. Keeps it interesting and not on the same topic the whole time
Thanks for the advice about the motorcyclist, I got my license about a month ago and never delt with them on the road so, I’ll be careful with them. The winch I think would be cool to see on the trailer
Harbor Freight may be more affordable but you can't put a price on safety. Be careful Steve!
youd think at some point something would click in his head like oh this isnt good quality him nah im just gonna keep buying it and bitching when it breaks steve stop it if its trash its trash dont keep wasting your money on it hell its a harbor freight winch everyone knows harbor freight is cheap and not usually so great just buy a damn warren winch at this point or something else
That’s 12 minutes wasted and time I’ll never get back what a flipping waste
Put 37s
I think you should just keep mixing it up that way it keeps it fun for you and keeps us not getting bored of same routine.
What do you think would cause a 12000 apex badland winch to continuously retract ? Only a year old, never left outside, always taken in doors after use. Thank you
What was leaking out of the jeep when you tried to go over the wood pile? Looked like a steady stream of something behind the drivers side door.
See if it's got a fuel pump relay it could do pop in off position due to wreckage lol
Hey Steve you have a problem with your airbag 😂
👍
Apex HF winch or get a smittybilt or better brand.
I like the blog stuff and everything else you do. Off-road is my favorite. 37”s on the new XJ and put the winch on the portable mount.
Trailer

Might as well film as much as possible: more money.

Hey why was the red xj leaking in the video when you wear climbing the yard steve
Mount the winch on a plate and that it would be very universal for the multiple vehicles and the trailer
Daily Volgs
The new xj is a good jeep
Did the cable ball up in the carrier on one side when she went to hell? So far im very happy with my badlands..
