Awesome run-down, thanks for this. With the compressors I had the same issue with mine and it ended up being the small fan inside where the wires were not crimped properly. The compressors are made by HO aircompressors in China for half the price through ali.... the kitchen hight is a big winner over the US trucks. There is no perfect rig but this comes close. Glad to hear about the ride quality. Have fun

30,000lb Hydraulic Winch is what you want on the front of your rig. You will continue to rip through the smaller electric, regardless of brand. You need something that can pull that much with your rig. (Assuming you can find a suitable anchor) . Keep up the good work, you are living my dream.

Awesome effort guys. Would not have been a pleasant mission at all. Watched your vid and last 5mins saw you had a rear winch. Ive used a rear winch to move forward before. Stuck in a river bed in a unimog. Ran the cable under the diffs and worked a treat. Did this in NZDF year's ago training but seriously stuck. Nice job you two.

@thecartwrights 8 ай бұрын

Cheers mate. Yeah a couple of people have mentioned this method. I never thought about it to be honest. It’s all learning my friend

@alanhat5252 7 ай бұрын

I would worry about the cable sawing through the axles or the cable getting cut on a sharp edge, cables cut through amazingly easily. Also, pulling from the wrong end is unstable, I once had to pull a trailer up a short gentle slope hitched on the wrong end & it took 6 heavy blokes to hold it straight despite pulling really gently. If you've got enough fairleads to guide the cable through that's fair enough but without? I wouldn't want to trust my life to it.

ex-military trailers have been available for decades but they're heavy & almost all are too small or too big to build a caravan on but now there's several makers catering to the _overland to Africa_ market.
