Is that what happened? Ended up knocking out the sensor?

Curious if they make ABS sensor guards for these yet, I know I can get them for my 4runner

Yes the ABS sensor caused all that trouble. I have ordered guards and Rhino recovery gear. Lesson learned lol

Was out on Wentworth springs last weekend behind a group of broncos 16 of them and they were getting stuck every 30ft. We were in our 20 year old Tacomas pretty annoyed made me never want a bronco. Wonder how many abs sensors were left on the trail.

It’s sweet!

Yeah going in reverse is never ideal. F my front winch was working it would have been much smoother. Problem with chains up here is they break through the frozen crust and then you’re high centered. It doesn’t look like it but that snow was probably 3’ deep. Best bet would have been to winch it 180° from the start and pull it out afterwards with a rope.

BTW, the chains work well in slimy mud as well. I should know, I have used them in those conditions.

Chains like to dig, when you’re dealing with more than 1-2’ you want to stay on top. From my experience, airing down works better when you’re off-road in the snow

@@4x4rescue74 I totally agree with you if you are dealing with light fluffy snow. You were dealing with Sierra Concrete. Heavy wet snow that packs and turns to ice. The trick with that snow is not to spin and or dig. If you spin with/or without chains you will dig. A very slow steady drive with chains will go further. Airing down also helps. I do have a little experience dealing with the snow that you were in. This is why I know that they call this Sierra Concrete. I have been stuck in it and used chains to get out. And yes it was way more than 1 or 2 inches. My experience includes running a rotary plow on the east side of Tahoe, as well as several plows. I also loved running my FULL SIZED Jeeps in the area. These include a J-10, Wagoneer and full size Jeep Cherokees. It was my Jeep Cherokee model 45 with the 360 and model 18 tranny that I got stuck up there. The chains saved my butt. Please do not tell me that chains do not work in deep wet snow.

I could have set one up if needed, but there’s no suction when dealing with snow, single line will usually get it.

Thanks for helping this guy out.

I’ll be up at Moonrocks soon

That’s how you learn..lol

He probably had the momentum going forward until it stopped.

Customer is in the comments. Their ABS got hit and kicked out which took out the brakes and caused problems. Something like that.

Bronco for a daily driver, jeep for off-road

I aired the tires down once I got there. Problem was ground clearance and the type of snow. It was old snow that was frozen, basically turns to powder and doesn’t compact. Minimal traction and framing out. Doesn’t look like it, but it was probably 3’ deep.

It’s actually better than using two kinetics in my opinion. They single kinetic takes the energy, you wouldn’t be able to tell a difference with a kinetic and tow strap versus just a kinetic. There’s really not a shock load on the strap like you might think, plus, the tow strap is rated much higher than the kinetic. Two kinetics seems to slow you down more by the time you reach the end, which doesn’t give you the power needed to extract the vehicle. Been doing it this way for years, hundreds of pulls and never had one issue.

Rhino manufactures overseas to keep a competitive price. However, they’re based In Texas, Georgia and California. They do design and lab test in the states, plus, they back everything up with a Lifetime Warranty to ensure quality.
