Eventually offroad guys are going to rediscover the block and tackle, and it will be a "revolutionary new idea."

Thanks for mentioning the shackle safety straps. I just watched a video talking about a fatality that happened in Australia last year. The hitch used for a kinetic recovery failed and was launched through the windshield of the stranded truck, killing the driver. Its no joke, recoveries can kill people.

Your Comment on Safety was Extremely well said ! I hope that others heed this advice & your statement. all too often safety seams in the back seat or not even onboard. Safety is always 1st Just to build on your point, even if a Yakum safety line is not available, a tether of any kind or means will lessen the likely hood of an anchor point and /or snatch block from becoming a flying object.

I have had two snatch blocks in my winch kit since I first got it. I've used them to easily extract vehicles in steep terrain and it is a surprise to me to find that younger folks are just now finding out about them. Pulleys have been around for hundreds of years, so maybe y'all didn't pay attention in science class, or something.

I have a Warn drill winch that I’ve used for self-recovery of my Cherokee KL a few times and it works great. Only 750lb max pull, so I have to use several snatch blocks to get enough pull. These rings will make my life easier using that little winch. It takes quite a bit of line to get that much multiplication, so you need an extension or two to get enough length sometimes.

@@FlawedOffroad I don’t want to haul a winch around all the time with 95+% hwy driving. Mostly, I self recover with my Hi-Lift jack, but the little Warn is there if I slide off an off camber spot where the jack won’t work (which has happened). Hi-Lift is also my backup winch. I also, use the drill winch to move logs out in the woods. I was skeptical when I first got the winch, but practiced dragging the Cherokee around with it and it did the job. When I really needed it, it got me out when I only had one tire on the road, one in the air and two off a steep bank. Just the way I roll, unconventional. The two ring setup would really simplify things for me. Wouldn’t be a bad idea to add a drill winch to your bag. It’d be good for moving the back end of your Jeep sideways, or more easily backward. 8x pull wouldn’t be hard to set up, just add a 3rd tiny block, that can handle 1500lbs, and add it to the free end of the 4x off the two offset rings. Use the extension to reave between the two rings for 4x and drill winch cable for a 2x of that 4x. It’d move slow as hell, but that’s not always a bad thing.

That is really impressive power 💪

The just need the silicon nips that Factor 55 has on the soft block. They have little red "hairs" that keep the rope from falling out of the block groove.

I have 2 of those old type snatch blocks from Harbor Freight for use with steel cable. I also have 2 rings rated at 66,000 for using with my Synthetic Rope winch cable. DO NOT use rings for BOTH! Use for one OR the other!! Any cut from steel cable will destroy a Synthetic Rope. They are so much lighter too and takes up less room as well. I also have a 1" x30' snatch rope, as well as a 66' tow snatch strap to lengthen my winch line. I also have hard shackles and soft shackles as well. Most times, a double pull is all you need. I also have a High Lift jack and traction boards that can be used as base for high lift jack.

I your demo there is a huge force on the jeep frame that might cause it to bend Great gear and great demo, thanks!

@FlawedOffroad

Yeah I’m pretty sure I mentioned in the video it’s best to spread out the attachment points to as many different things as possible. The winch has part of the load, d ring has part of the load and the pulled vehicle has part of the load. If Doing a five part pull you can attach the end of the rope to even another section.

Who would have thought simple machines could multiply force… Anyone who’s taken a basic science course. Still really cool to see it done in a such a lightweight simple system. I may invest.

I wish you would have checked the temperature of the block after a heavy and long pull. I didnt expect much temp increase in the line on each side but the block is concentrating the friction on a small area of the block. After a long pull i wonder if it heats up enough that it could melt the line that touching it. Good video thanks for posting.

@FlawedOffroad

It wasn't even noticeably warmer to the touch(on a hot day). not a chance its melting

At some point you need to run the winch as a fast line to an anchor then snatch block and deadline of of the anchor that is much heavier than you vehicle

Cool video, In my opinion the safety rope should be connected to the soft shackle instead of the ring that way there is no chance of it falling out during a breakage.

@The8th1

4 ай бұрын

I completely agree. What if the ring or anchor point break opening is large enough to slip past the safety rope. Plus the soft shackles look like larger openings. Maybe run through both if there is space.

One of the best reasons to use a double or triple line pull; is to get the rope off the drum. Your winch works better the less rope is on the drum. The numbers aren't small either. I'll use the HF Apex 1200 for example but any similar sized winch will be close. To get the 12000lbs rating you can only have 1 layer of rope. You can only have 16 feet of your 80 foot rope on the drum to get max pull. With 60' on the drum it is only rated to 7885lbs. Using more rope you get added mechanical advantage from the drum and the multi line pull. If you use a single line pull at 20' away your pulling at 7885lbs; When you switch to a triple line pull you pull at over 9500lb and you get the triple word score. So, you get 4845lbs more pull just by un-spooling with the triple line; Or from 7885 to 28500lbs of pull. The numbers are rough just because I'm not including frictional losses. But you could prove it out pretty simply with a load cell. Now you have an oversized rope so it would change the numbers a little different. You'd need a load cell to know for sure. However when you were pulling that truck sideways. You were close enough that you only had around 7000-8000lb pull capacity, with the single line pull. The other thing to remember if you can anchor your multi line pull away from your vehicle. You will only see the fractional load of the system. If you can use a tree or rock as the anchor point when pulling another vehicle you are better off doing so.

@FlawedOffroad

5 ай бұрын

All true but I think you explained it a little wrong. It’s not that the winch is rated for any less when there’s more wraps on the drum it’s more like a gear reduction situation. Having one layer on the drum is like having 513 gears and having the whole line on there is like having 355s haha. The winch is still rated the same regardless but it’s gonna have more torque with less line on there. The weight rating and the torque value are two different things

4 way pull... no joke... thanks

This use to be winching 101 but I guess it was forgotten about and found again.

I wood always use winch cable on my badland zxr 12000 winch never synthetic Winch rope .

The easiest way to remove or replace a high tension spring is with, wait for it, a shoe string or 3 feet of weed eater line. Just loop it around the hook and pull! I found 3 ft works best and it has never let me down.

I di run a small tank on my off road rigs ( a lj buggy on 40s & a Cherokee on 40s thays pretty much a buggy also) but it's a real small tank just to help if I wana run an air impact or what not but mostly so I dnt have to kick the arb on and off for my lockers because both rigs run arb air lockers from and rear. And I use a hose setup that connects the 2 fronts to a air chuck on my front bumper and the line ts off to each tire and the same for the rear tires at the rear bumper and the arb fills four 40" tires in a matter of minutes form around 5psi usually to 15 or so I never go much over thay because I trailer both of my rigs but occasionally I do go from 1 trail to another on road and it's extremely quick compared to all other systems I have tried and seen

The thing is not all the force is on one mount it’s spread out to however many places you’re hooked. so the winch/mount itself takes some of the load, and the thing you’re pulling take some of the load and whatever you’re hooking back to take some of the load. Also just because it can generate that much pulling force doesn’t mean that it is, it only reaches those numbers if there’s enough resistance for it to reach those numbers. But I did mention somewhere in the video that you have to make sure that you’re not overcoming whatever recovery points you’re hooking to and that it is a good idea to spread the load out. The 4 and 5 part pulls are recommended only for recovery professionals. I’d like to think that the subset of people that are investing in this system would actually take the time to know how to use it properly and not just redneck it together. Lol
