Winch - What is the priority?

[Cybertruckee]

A 5,000 lbs cheapo Warn winch saved me from sleeping wet out there in the field on an open Wrangler Jeep. And a lot of other troubles including allowing me to do an important time-bounded tasks on a weekend.

I was young and reckless then. I don't know if I'll ever be doing those on a Cybertruck or needing one.

But nice accessories though where will mount it without messing with those cameras and sensors?

I would really like to have a 2" hitch receiver in the front of the CT in any case.

That would be fantastic.

The front lower grill currently hides many mysteries

The CT will be extremely capable, so I will be doing much stupider shit much farther out with much more risk.

...farther out with much more risk.

Drive to southernmost rural Texas in your EV truck, with California license plate, rainbow and Pelosi campaign bumper stickers.

Hardly going to get past Truckee without getting pulled over... Been pulled over there and Redding for BS reasons while I had Burning Man related paint on my car.

No, officer, describing your car as unmarked when I identified is not irrelevant to the description of the situation as the traffic was going faster than I was.

Only dumber one was the officer who blocked the highway in a construction zone in AZ and wrote me a ticket for speeding. Not only was I not speeding, there was about a minute or two between traffic of the highway. How would I have stopped for a pedestrian in the middle of the highway had I been speeding?

I watched this last night, and thought... the CT would have made it.

Don’t be so sure. Off chamber and low-side of the fall-line on wet grass, greasy topsoil and a trailer equal weight as the tow rig spells trouble.

All the torque in the world is cancelled by the slope, rise and side slippage. Without a run at it, Cybertruck would be on the hook just as early, if not earlier.

This is not a hard pull on the winch. The tell, is it’s single cable pull. The winch is pulling within its range but the rig and trailer fall victim to gravity.

Yeah, it's an open field. Why wouldn't you go diagonally?

Worse... Why would you try to drag an entire load?

And there's a tree on the right and they could have used a block for more leverage and easier pulling.

If it's just one truck, then it could have been pulled downhill even.

When I go to Burning Man (6 years so far), I keep a low profile coming from the east. I have never been stopped nor searched. Coming from Kalifornia? Ehhhh....

 

[charliemagpie]

lol
Your both right

It could have even rolled backwards, jackknifed, and that would have ended the trip.

I'm going with no on the Cybertruck being able to make it. That hill is steep, cameras never do hills justice. Its slick, been in a similar situation and had to use tire chains on an unloaded 2wd pickup with no trailer and still had to hit it with momentum.

Just goes to show winches don't make you smarter or better offroad.
