Is it bad to want one rig for railing/ exploring and one rig for beating/crawling?

the total chaos kit is best for doing 60-80 mph over the desert, rather than going 5-10 mph thru some trails surrounded by trees and stupid mud holes, if he is planning on wheeling, (not pre-running) the best way to go is sas. period.

From what it sounds like he wants to pre-run and explore in this truck due to some sort of attachment to it and wants to get a diffrent vehicle to wheel. Do you think I dont know what a god damn long travel kit is actually made for. :haha:

Also called mall parking lots and drive thrus :awesomework:

Crawl when you can but you will need some wheel speed at some point.

Keep it stock ifs and wheel it. If deserts are really your thing then do the long travel.

Seems the absolute "cheapest" winch is the smittybuilt 8000 @ 299, but is cheapest the best?

That's the one I have on my truck, used it quite a bit and never had a problem with it. It's gotten me out of every sticky situation.

The smittybuilt is a good winch for those who dont often use it. otherwise mount it in the rear if you plan on more than fire road wheeling.
