El Jefe, the rig IS all set up on the lee side. That`s one of the few beaches in western Baja that faces southeast. Offshore all afternoon baby!
I agree with you on the van setup. Overall maybe the most useful setup. If only automakers made a decent stock 4wd setup meant to go offroad like a
4wd truck I`d get it in a heartbeat. All the aftermarket setups are too expensive, too overkill and sometimes untrustworthy. Funny story- A friend had
the 100+k Wigley van with huge bumper and 12,000 pound winch up front. He got good and stuck on the beach one day because he didn`t understand the
concept of airing down but no probem, he`s got a winch! But since the van was originally a 2wd the original front bumper was attached to the frame
with 2 bolts. The same two bolts were used to attach the new macho huge bumper and winch. Guess what happened when he tried to winch out? That bumper
and winch ended up sitting on the beach.
So how come Asia and Europe get all sorts of cool stock 4wd setups and we get crap? |
