I Never Expected to Use My Winch So Much For This

I haven't had my 8,000-pound Warn winch for a full year yet, but I can tell you one thing right now: I've used it more helping out others than on myself.

With the winter snow and ice, it's not uncommon to see someone stuck, especially on country roads or skiing trips, so me and my winch have helped a few people out here lately. Around Thanksgiving, I even pulled someone out on my way to Idaho Falls. We're in for plenty more short and snowy days:

Of course, I'm happy to help, but it's a great time of year to think about whether you have the proper recovery equipment. I've had a 1995 Toyota pickup since October 2017, and Mike's Off Road (80675 Gallatin Road #B, Bozeman) is the only place I take it for any work I need. I would definitely recommend seeing them to get your bumper, lights and winch setup.

Remember recovery gear can get you out of those tough situations in any season. Also, from now till March 31, get 10 percent off Rigid Lighting at Mike's Off Road.

Rigid has some pretty specialized designs:
