maybe 5% of the time;)

Costs vs. benefits

it's adding less than 5% additional overall weight, does the additional weight with a winch "outweigh" the cost you give up with the possibility that you might lose some traction due to the additonal weight in a very few instances.

Everything is all about perspective.

I wouldn't be surprised if it is close to 200lbs heavier than stock. Remember that she's replacing a plastic fascia with steel, then add the weight of the winch. There's still a brushguard to add as well.

Quit talking about me like I'm not here....:fdance:

Re: Finally!!!! H2O - H3 Spy shots!!!
 

I've heard that she's worried about the additional weight. But I think her problems are more deep-seeded. She's always talking about wanting to be the 'queen' wheeler and stuff. She's got personal issues, I think.

:iagree:

Re: Finally!!!! H2O - H3 Spy shots!!!
 

It's not just the weight on the front that matters, it's also the balance front to rear. The new rack and rear bumper will help take care of that. If you do put it on a scale, get a per axle weight along with the total weight.

The contact patch from your 35s should take care of the extra traction needed with all the extra equipment (especially aired down). But I would be thinking about the t-bars and shocks, with all the extra sprung and unsprung weight. You might bounce more onthe stock suspension with it all. Weren't you looking into new t-bars a while back?

And fwiw, if you haven't switched to synthetic oil yet, now would be a good time. Your engine's going to be working a lot harder. You might also put a temp gauge in your tranny to see if a tranny cooler is in order.

I have to agree with this opinion of her. I noticed this when I rode with her in Moab. She's an odd cracker.:giggling:

Re: Finally!!!! H2O - H3 Spy shots!!!
 

that weight will not hurt that much, who cares anyways.....i just wanna see some updated pics :dancingbanana:

Re: Finally!!!! H2O - H3 Spy shots!!!
 

I really don't know her all that well, but it's pretty clear she likes to use this a lot: :fdance::fdance::fdance::fdance::fdance:

Re: Finally!!!! H2O - H3 Spy shots!!!
 

With the Rancho's I should be able to adjust to the "9" setting and be ok.

Yes heavy duty t-bars are on the list with a 30% higher spring rate. And Rocks and I were talking about doing a dual shock set up too. It's also on the list.

Went to Synth about 20K ago. I'll talk to Miles about the tranny cooler/guage. Good idea.

Please remain silent since we're trying to have a conversation about you. Thanks.

What do you want me to delete? All that crap about weight ratios and Rancho settings?
