I'm skeptical about the durability of synthetic. Sounds good on paper, but it may not endure the less than perfectly ideal lab conditions of the real World.

Synthetic works great. Only thing I've been using for several years now.

I think you should recreate the conditions when you destroyed the Badland and see how the Warn handles it.

He wasn’t sick. He was just so distraught about not buying a warren he fell ill. Now he’s all better.

Man with all that power draw you might just need a 3rd alternator

That was one clean installation, can't wait for you to put it through the same conditions as the Harbor Freight winch . Hope you are feeling better.

I still hold to the belief that there was an issue with installation on the APEX winch. I don't think it was mounted securely and it flexed causing the issues

The winch didn’t fail, it’s gave 150% and didn’t stop till it destroyed its self. 12000lbs is a lot but with no limits it kept pulling till something gave. My concern with the warm is the limit switch. The capacity and function of the motor is relying on switch. Not of the instinct of the user….. scary design if you need it at 3am in a snow storm. Great looking winch though.

Indeed, that is what he was complaining about prior, that the Warn kept turning off on him. That should have been enough warning already. But didn't reel up under tension, bolt snaped prior to the ending, but he still was on the trigger.

Nice to see you back. Glad you’re feeling better and I hope the family’s well. You mentioned on the END video about all your obstacles at the moment. I hope you realize that means whatever you’re trying to do, is worth it. Whatever that means to you. You’re greatly appreciated.

Winches are just amazing, I remember 4x4ing with my dad in the mountains, a light snow came in and then melted. So now that steep stretch of tilted cork screw road with a cliff on one side and ditch on the other was now slick with gooey mud and slick surface below and we had to go back across it to get out of there. Luckily forested with trees along the road, my dad had to go from tree to tree to tree with that winch to get us out of there with out sliding down the cliff or getting too close to the ditch. What a boss. lol So happy to see you are doing well Cody!

The only way you're going to get full use out of this wench, is if you can find a stump like that last one. I honestly don't think this wench is capable of taking that stump out either.

Agreed I think the harbor freight winch would have been fine for most guys I love Cody and his vids but I think that harbor freight winch was abused just a tad

If that stump is still around it sure would make a good video to pull it out with the Warn winch!

i love following Cody along with his projects. feel free to take time and do what You like its always a treat just to be in the shop and having you share your process and valuable information you've learned.

I work for a power company, and we have these on our smaller bucket trucks, one could rainy night I had my larger F800 bucket truck about 60 ft off the road and it was stuck and the only winch we had was on a small bucket .I pulled the smaller unit up to the curb to help hold it in place and that 16.5 pulled a 25k pound truck out of that situation.

The info you provide is always very thorough. Thanks for the detail. I know it is a lot of post-production work. Glad you're back. Prayers lifted up for full recovery.

I can appreciate the solid vid, no fuss, or complaining, just interesting and informative. I always give u a thumbs up, but today's thumbs up was worth it.

Glad to see you back in stride! Praying for you and your family!

Great to see you back! We all missed ya. Prayers for all of your family especially the little one.

Sorry you got the bug … but what a great reminder of how much we love you and what a wonderful community you have.

Glad to have you back! I have warn winches on all my trucks and never had a problem. Keep up the good work sir

Welcome back Cody. Hope you stay healthy. And the family too of course.

My first winch lasted me 6 years, it was a super cheap 9000lb Smittybilt. That little thing had over 50 big pulls on it, went though dozens of rivers and still kept on going. My new WARN 10-S is nice but I really wish I had kept the old one to see how long it would have lasted. Great video.

Happy to see you back to normal, keep all of you in my prayers🙏💕

Its so good to have you back, I wish you and your family well

I’m glad you’re feeling better. It’s amazing that you can have a pair of pliers that you have used so often the teeth are worn down. I have a pair that belonged to my dad that are worn smooth.

That looks a great. I remember saying in the comments when you fitted the last 1 that it was a bad idea and to go with the warn. I have a 9000 on my Landover defender over in the UK and it's great. To stop the synthetic rope getting stuck together don't put it on in straight lines like a wire rope. Criss cross them and they will stay apart. I use mine daily for tree work and they last a good while. We also have 1" synthetic rope on the 10 tonne winch. That is big stuff. On another note. I saw my first super duty in the UK last week. Man that looked awesome. Hopefully we get some more into the country. Makes the Landover look tiny. Keep up the good work and good to see you are recovering.

Welcome back brother. Great to see you standing. Wish the best for the Loaf!

glad to see you are on the mendl cody, its about to snow here in canada. cant wait for the winter videos this year!

So good to see you back at it Cody. I have neither a truck nor a winch but i enjoyed the video and learned something. And, i always appreciate you sharing your philosophy… “when you’re home sleeping in your bed you’ll forget about the cost.”

It’s good to have you back Im glad your feeling better!!

Good to see you getting back to normal. God Bless you and your family!

Thanks for your ministering and informing with your channel without fail I feel better after watching. Just a tip on cotter pins...they have that long leg to help on installing but Also let's you grip from the side to spread legs open with needle nose. Then use whatever to wrap them.

Welcome back! I’m glad you’re feeling better! Thank you for the video! May God bless you and your family… sincerely 😁❤️

Good to see you coming around, my friend.

Going through COVID right now. I am glad you are better and I am getting better everyday. It is tiring for sure. God bless you and your family.

Can I just say it's good to have you back , hope you are back to full health physically and mentally ....take it easy from England

Glad to see you back to work. Prayers for you and your family. By the way... my Badland winch also has a visual overheat notification system. It is equipped with a smoke emitter.

I’ve had the the 16.5ti on my 2017 f250 for 4 years now, it’s a beast! And the way it mounts gives it incredible strength in the frame of the winch and in the bumper. I pulled out my skid steer buried over the tracks in mud. I had to anchor the truck to a tree. I had just switched to synthetic line and used a snatch block. Was blown away with the strength of the synthetic line. The winch never even broke a sweat. Glad you’re feeling better and welcome back. I thought you were probably just taking a break after the loss of your father which would have been reasonable and understandable. But to follow up your loss with COVID just the worst. Thank you for your prayers and we will keep you in ours.

Cody, That warn winch is really nice. I watched your video on the harbor freight badlands apex winch and caught it in sale for $499.99, I'm happy with it on a 2008 Ford super duty, but I haven't pulled a vehicle that was stuck in a river bank, or pulled logs onto a trailer with it. I have used it to pull my 2008 out of the mud and it works good enough. If warn could adapt the wireless remote to the 16.5t winch, I would rush out and buy that one. Thank you for taking time to film, edit and post this video, also glad to hear your starting to feel better. May God bless you and your family.

Great to see you are feeling better! Prayer is powerful. Thanks for the vids really enjoy the information from a professional homeowner.

Before I even watch this video, welcome back Cody!!! It's good to see you healthy. I hope everyone in the house is doing well also. Now back to the video

I’ve had one for over 4 years on a f350 bucket truck and it’s been a good winch

Good to see you back in good health!! And getting the FIZZ

Good to see you feeling better Cody. Peace and love to all.

I am so glad you are back to normal after Covid, great video on the Warn Winch.

Happy you're back to feeling better, Cody. We were all prying for you

so happy to see you doing better

Have the same winch on my 19 F250. It's a beast and have never had regret saving a little longer to get it. Love your videos and appreciate it them God bless you and your family.

Nice winch! Now I need to upgrade mine for my new bumper. Glad to see you're on the mend.

With all thats happened in our world and yours, I am ecstatic to see you alive and well; let alone still making videos.

Glad you're feeling better.

Great to see you making a good recovery Cody! Amazing to have you back in action 😁

Glad to see you doing better.

Glad your feeling better!!

Was contemplating the badlands for my tacoma but after your previous video, I'm sticking with warn evo. Good content

Nice having your enthusiasm back on our screens!

That is one beefy winch. Glad to see that you're on the mend. I do include you and your family in my prayers, but I didn't realize that you had been sick until this morning's video.

Glad to see you back, hope you are feeling better.

It's called a fairlead and it's good to put the hook to the side and reel in the slack. The fairlead has a polished surface, winching the hook into it can raise burrs that would wear on your rope. According to the specs, the sound of the winch, at 8 feet, should be 70 dB. Your winch sounds like they forgot to fill the gearhead with lube. I'd get it checked. It could happen. I had a friend, that bought a new Ford truck, 30 years ago. Drove it about 100 miles and the passenger rear wheel and axle came off. When it left the factory, the diff was bone dry.

Great to see you're back in the shop!

Glad to see you back in action! Great video

Good to have you back!

its great to have you back, glad your feeling much better. Harbor Freight makes me sick too, Lol. I only buy usa made quality. Funny story my dad grew up in the Clackamas area and use to goto to the same auto parts store as you right around t warn winch plant.

I just installed a warn zeon 12-s on my 2013 ram 2500 and love everything about it! Going to come in real handy this winter!! You should do a 1 year update video about your winch.

Its good to have you back

Good to have you back with us brother!

Looking and sounding better buddy! Glad to see your better.

Missed your videos, glad your doing better

You should make another video with this truck on the 10 ways to prep your truck for winter like you did 5 years ago… Also I’m so glad your feeling better!!! Thoughts and prayers ❤️

Welcome back friends of Wranglerstar! Glad to see you up and about Brother! God Bless

Love that truck ! One more thing to add would be one of those 12" mini LED strobe light bars in amber and white that plugs into the cigarette lighter. Really helpful on dark mountain roads, around blind corners, in snow storms, etc. About $35- on amazon.

Great to see you back and healthy!

Thank you, Cody. An expensive lesson with the Badlands winch, though. However, good to see you got your dream winch. Continue getting better along with Sweet Loaf and the rest of your family staying healthy.

Glad your back and your feeling better Cody @WranglerStar

That's EXACTLY what I need for my F350 super duty and 32' Toy-hauler. I've been using Warn winches for decades and Absolute Love them. They've NEVER failed me when I needed that extra little bit of help weather I'm in my wrangler, 73' 3/4 TON Silverado 4x4 or my wrangler. Always gets me out of trouble and back on the trail. Where did you get that bumper? Warn Industries probably has a bumper to go along with the wench too.

Thank god you are back. I need this channel to feel happy 🙂

Good to see you back in decent health posting videos! Hope the family is ok! God Bless!

Love the attention to detail on that bumper system, the access panel is the same thickness and quality as the rest of the system as apposed to just a junk piece of sheet metal.

Great video hope your feeling better

What a great front bumper setup!!

Know you didn't get on with the badlands But if you watch Matt's off-road towing and fab rat (two channel I think you will love )they both use them all the time and love them. And they are using them all the time. Plus Yankum Ropes you need the get a yankim rope for the rig
