Stewart - thanks for bringing this thread back to the top.

Bion - You sir have got your Ex rigged exactly how I have mine imagined. When I get to that point, hope you don't mind me reaching out.

Master Pull Kinetic Tow Rope Super Yanker w Gear Bag 1 1 2"x30' 74 000lb | eBay

...so I could pull people who get stuck while wheeling in the dunes.

Airing waaay down is your friend. I went down to 15psi on my Ex and 20 on the TH. Was in Pismo this past August - just avoid the holidays at all costs! I have a Walmart tow strap and found myself towing all kinds of people. Especially the 2WD Tahoe's on 20" Wheels and low profile tires.

Have fun on the river crossing during the winter!

Pismo Pic for kicks:

Yeah, we went when the river was dry. But I've seen the YouTube vids of people crossing that river. Pismo Beach / Oceano Dunes - Daytime Creek Crossing - Feb 2011 - YouTube

Don't mind at all.

But I am far from finished with all the mods. I am a slow worker.

Now if I can just get this bathroom remodeled in time the wife promised me that I can finish things up on the Ex.

Bump for an epic mod, you sir have done an excellent job I must say, and have given me ideas for my rig actually. Well done!

Any more updates? Just happened to Google Buckstop looking up ideas for my F350 and your thread popped up..... I was pondering a set but after your posts I'm getting mine on order tomorrow!

Hi Bion I PM'd you a few weeks ago about trying to get a hold of you to check out your winch bumper. I see you all the time around town I live there also just never get the chance to try and flag you down..... If you have the time would love to check out the front bumper as I'm getting one on order before Christmas
