I'd like to know exactly how precise and accurate the measurements were on Steve's rectangle access port. It appears that the acceptable tolerances were more than his customary +/- 1 micrometer. Seems like he's starting to get a little sloppy in his work...just saying.
Great hack! Anything to avoid a "degloving" injury is a must have! You guys must have medical backgrounds. That is a term you don't hear outside of the medical field.
Whoa when I first installed my winch the first thing in my mind is how can I access the clutch so i cut a hole same as you did the only missing part is edge trim awesome idea this will make life easy during recovery ❤❤❤❤
Yes, which was harder than I thought it would be considering it’s made of aluminum. It did it slowly, carefully, and a little at a time. Came out fine in the end.
Where you guys mount your power switch for the winch. Trying to avoid mounting on the fuse box lid but im running out of real estate to mount things. 😮💨
Our winches are wired directly to our battery (we both have dual batteries). The switch to control the winch is not hard mounted, it plugs into the winch when needed, otherwise it’s in a case inside our rigs. Hope this answers your question. 🙌🙌
Good stuff. My 2nd Gen Taco doesn't have that shroud you fancy 4Runner fella's have. How are you guys monitoring the winch line spooling to make sure it's going back on the drum evenly and not getting bound up or pinching, etc? Maybe it's just my bumper, but it's all but impossible to see the spool without getting my peepers right up on the fairlead with a flashlight.
Great question! After each trip, when the winch is used, I extend it all the way, then re-spool it evenly and under tension; it requires help from a friend.
I need this mod! I recently needed to unspool my winch to move a tree off the trail and I could just barely fit my hand in through the hole in the front of my 4Runner to release the clutch.. luckily no scrapes or cuts.
"A pretty simple hack, a cheap hack" Man, these brotherly insults are getting INTENSE! Between the degloving and comparing your hole sizes this video got pretty nasty. I picked a bad one to watch while eating lunch!
Great tip! I used that same trim on my viper cut and around the fender cuts for the rear bumper.
That stuff is magic; so easy, so clean, so inexpensive 🙌

Haters gunna hate perfection 😄😉
A winch will get you out of a situation. That you that you got into without the proper off-road set up!
But how much sweeter to have a rig so capable you rarely need the winch 🙌

Nah, just my brother exercising his limited Google skills; I think it’s a creepy term 🤮

Hope it makes your winching more scratch free; it’s the little things in life after all 😉🙌
@@aired-downoverland9239 yes sir no more struggle to reach that clutch
Did you need to bend the AC or power steering lines to fit the warn winch?
Yes, which was harder than I thought it would be considering it’s made of aluminum. It did it slowly, carefully, and a little at a time. Came out fine in the end.
Finally got my winch installed, cut my hole in the shroud, works a treat - thanks gents.
It’s the little things, right? 🙌

Looks super clean, I like it.

Hi Saw your videos again! Wondering do you open a partnership with Auxbeam?😊
Thank you for the offer, but not looking for any long term partnerships at the moment.
@@aired-downoverland9239 No problem. Do you open for a short term partnership maybe?
The winch is for everyone else mostly Toyotas 😂😂 ok calm down I was kidding 👊🏻
Ha ha nice one!! 🤣
You’re right, Jon’s Toyota 😆🙌
