Cable Vs Rope Winch- 4x4 offroading in a frozen swamp & Installing Warn bumpers

do you think you're gonna be able to make it through that swamp [Music] normal isn't fun alright guys today we got a jam-packed show because we're gonna try to get that cheap stuff out in that swamp and the reason we're doing it is because we just got done installing a warm front bumper put that worn front bumper it's got a worn wench on it so you got to get stuck to pull yourself out right we're also gonna be installing a worn back bumper showing you guys how we do all of that and here's a little inside information Frankie has never got so frustrated in his life it took me an hour an hour to get that rope you know he's getting frustrated Frankie are you frustrated literally guys he said he would have cut it in half and sent it back he was so pissed off and I think you're gonna sense some of that today so we're gonna let him take that take it out in that swamp we're gonna see what happens you guys take your best guess does he get stuck or does he make it I don't know we haven't tried it yet let's go four-wheeling so we're gonna install a warm front bumper and rear bumper to date but we're going to show you every single problem we have along the way and hopefully you guys won't have the same problems so let's get started Frankie doesn't care can be 10 degrees out you don't really care do you you kind of like working outside sometimes don't ya or don't ya you tell me I don't mind it we got tired you're cold I kind of make sense right yeah so we've got a front bumper rear bumper wench and a tire carrier to install the right I just carried in skid plate yeah okay so we're we're gonna be outfitting the Jeep with new worn equipment yeah I think there's a reason why I picked Warren above all the other options out there popular right I know what I've seen of them their beauty quitman time-tested so a lot of these guys you guys know that time test is one of those things that I really try to strive to achieve well sometimes you don't have to do the time test when you have a company that's been around forever and everybody else is already time tested it for you right I mean you know Warren right yeah and that's I know more so let's take a look at what we're gonna be doing right here the Franken Jeep I logged the logs are coming off we're logging off Frankie goodbye yeah that make sense logging off log on log off the clapper oh I know a better song than that what rolls downstairs the loner in pairs and over your neighbor's dog it's great for a snack and fits on your back it's log log log it's log log gets big it's heavy it's wood and my bumper it's log log it's better than bad it's good everyone loves a log you're gonna love it log okay if you guys know that song I'm guessing Frankie doesn't know the song okay if you guys know the song put it in the comments down below and I'm not gonna tell you so you got to read the comments because some of these guys know that song they're like me they love that song that's why I haven't memorized how many pieces do we got 1 2 there 3 4 and the rear bumper came as the fifth so your choice we pulled the Mustang out and do it inside or else I don't care whatever and then open them up and see what we got yeah sounds like a plan all right once we're doing that we'll check back in see you guys gotta wait or watch this super cool awesome montage with this super cool awesome music way better than my logs on right now [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] what is this your mounting is this the bracket for the bumper partly for the bumper and also for the free on bail or the vacuum pump vacuum pump on that okay tell effect have to enlarge this hole here on the frame because the mounting bracket for the vacuum pump doesn't line up with the frame hole the ages for in order for this bolt to fit what is that bolt Frankie what is this bolt yeah Bob the holds of mounts for that so that's the that's the one they sent you the cable yeah this is the one they sent me okay so that came with the front bumper yep okay soon all the brackets but see they even say instructions you have to enlarge this hole okay so make your hole beggar okay oh you got to do it I'm just gonna stop how did you do it put the grinder and then you touch it up with paint cuz any exposed areas they're gonna rest on your right yeah so I just do route all right so but in order to get that bolt in there a little hard to drum on the other side so it's a little tricky to get it in there yeah I put tape on the end of the screwdriver so it doesn't slip around on me now hopefully it will well so how do you plan on holding that nut in place that prior I'll show you that right now okay you know see they got a welded piece on there so it gonna go so far so once you finally get it in place you know it'll stay all right then you got okay then I tighten it up right here then you just like oh you got well you did that tight already so the tape trick works let me see what you did let me see yeah some of it fell off I just put some tape on the end of this okay then the sticky side out and just enough to hold that hold that in place hopefully I can hold it in place took me a while on the other side to get it but maybe I can stick my fingers it's tough you old in it right there yeah no that's my fingers I'm holding your finger I can't see nothing wait I'm letting go yeah you're in okay all right so then so you got to have picked about crane fingers to get in there put the winch on the bumper first and then hook the bumper up because you need two people though because it makes that when two makes the bumper a lot heavier so here's the finished bracket he's got this side done and that bracket actually is what what did that hold on Franky's that hold on hold the vacuum pump yep and and the bumper lunch time by what happened Frankie took me like 45 minutes to get five bolts in just you can't get your hands in there just it's tough not much room in there is there none no extra play or nothing it's tough anybody with bigger hands than I got they probably wouldn't be able to get them bolts in there because they just there's just not no room it's kind of a downfall there because they could go with shorter bolts and it would be a lot easier but it's just tough sounds like Frankie's having fun what doesn't fit in the line the hole don't line up everything kittens so you gotta drill these holes no I got to modify the vacuum pumps bracket so that's in the way yeah the party that no all right yeah I'm not taking the pump off again no okay cut first bit off your I put it back on I take it off you can't get the bolt in there I bet a pod for an hour hour and a half to get over the two mountains the bumpers come out the bumper yeah see they only they needed one inch bolt and they sent to two inch bolts why the exness I don't know it just makes it really hard to put them in real hard real hard you guys to fit Frankie know that couple okay got one more time ah oh man okay so what happened nothing lines up you guy that cut their bumper I cut their bumper you got a cut it to get it it line up oh you did cut it okay let's see what's going on got no play I'm cutting all that out cut now that stuff they're all out there but that this is their bumper I'm cutting out now okay so their bumper you have to cut out yeah wonder if they sent the wrong winch with it you think I don't know took me an hour an hour to get that rope you know and now we're to rope it you know just to get the loop through the hole I mean it was definitive in mine I want the I want to have it right now how'd it burnt it smashed it I would have yeah you can see where he's had to use em problems right there all right well these are good things to know I don't think this is what they meant for it to be like what it is what it is so on a scale of one to ten Frankie what would you call this one one being easiest can be the most difficult seven seriously do you think that it's the seven it's problem on an install it just is not it could be worse I don't think I've even got this bounded yet I don't dare montez's anymore until I get this in every time you get this frustrated on a project before yeah I don't think I've ever seen you this frustrated on a project before probably more yet ain't done so this is day two and it's not because it's super complicated it's just it's tight isn't it yeah precise words of wisdom now that you're finally wrapping up you're getting closer to it what would you tell these guys when they're going to tackle this on their own and reduce excess tree trying to fit everything first make sure all your cuts are wide enough I feel like I said I've taken this out four or five times if you read cut my framing just make your prep work it's very important so I got the wiring in I guys it's time I wedding harness down this man which is nice on me because there's no inner inner fender wells I just kind of ran where I could see them I'm gonna zip everything so they can't be moved as you can see I just kind of ran everything wait for my easiness and I'll just zip everything right to the frame it went down behind the shock up and right on over to the battery [Music] we're pretty simple the wiring part is very simple yep and that's where simpler uh-huh yeah I miss mother [Music] two days Frankie we got it done though when I say we I mean Frankie because I honestly just came out and shot video because I've been in editing so we're gonna respawn the row at this point right yep so we're gonna restore the rope put in free spool free spool mainline okay so I got a put in here so we're done free spooling let's hope no cars come across the road or the Nick or the neighbors come home and Park on it okay Park on top everything gonna hurt okay so let's show them how this winch works real quick so you just pull up the plastic piece so you plug the winch in we plug the controller in know if you're by yourself you've got enough cord that you can actually sit in your Jeep yeah yeah you can make it across to harder and so you can actually pull yourself out if you by yourself there's the back end of it now log and all now of course the back bumper should be a pretty easy slap and go right Frankie yeah and it's so far have been except for this except where our to do it yep nothing to do with the manufacturer so what Frankie's doing here these get in the back framing to line up cuz it's just a Titch tweet so that's a wench powered by a drill and it's a worn wench on top of it so one of the things I need to point out Frankie is you pulled the rear tire carrier off from the door yep and then also there's a wire disclosed to it that unplugs okay take your cover off on drugs and remove your wires now do that now does this tire carrier the new tire carrier bolt onto the door bolt nut leaves me with the door nothing to delete it right here it is okay and this is it's gonna be its hinge okay Frankie can you walk us through what you've got done so far very easy to do is following the instructions this kind of snug in all this stuff up we're gonna move the truck and then the bumper I got everything on that one really smooth except for our frame is my tail ends of our frame is a little bit tweaked so we straighten that but that's our fault now you say these are this meant really easy really good Jacksons are really good on the back bumper really really easy to read I just understand super super easy nothing like the front bumper nothing like the front bumper got it nothing is always safe wanted to know what we're doing [Laughter] so you know what we got to do next honey no go away people I'm just not comfortable with me right now she just woke up we've got we've gotta straighten the frame of the truck with a tree what do you think of that I think that's crazy I think it's crazy like a box honey it's crazy like a box I love my way where there's a will there's way okay so our frame was tweaked and you had to literally pull it over to get it so we got a tree we got to come along we got a way of getting it done don't we yeah so you just pulled this frame over to match it up so you can get it lined up now you guys when you're building your Jeep but when you're putting your stuff on you're not gonna have to do this but that's why I bought this Jeep because I didn't want something that was just normal right cranky yeah if we ever bought any vehicle that was just normal no no I don't think so oh we got her straightened out got her lined up next we'll mount the rest of it and then we got to see if we can get stuff and then we guys see if we can get unstuck [Music] you're gonna be driving okay I'm gonna be flying the drone right and we're gonna take these guys along for the ride all right what do you guys think is he gonna make it I don't think he's gonna make it we actually warmed up the skid loader just in case you didn't make it had plugged it in yet oh man yeah she got a little she got a little dirty on that rug but Wow Wow whoa whoa whoa all right I think we need to push this even further Frankie oh yeah [Music] [Applause] we're looking at travellers wenches which are kind of like more of a would you call it a generic or kind of a it's not a Warren Lynch right and these but these are something you may run into a little bit more often and this has got the cable right I've never actually seen a winch that has the rope yours is the first one I've seen yeah I've never seen a winch that has a rope because of all of these and you've got the weight rating on them so you get 3,500 pounds 2,500 then you jump up to 4500 9,000 pounds and then 12,000 pounds maybe we should test that winch out that roll Tameka break it I think we see that hump it to that tree behind the vines I don't know if this is a good idea or not Frankie I didn't do this well I mean let's find out because these guys are gonna be investing in a winch system and you get a winch with a rope you want to know if it works well let's find out right worst on the earth we'll just replace it with dirt Caleb click done so the benefit of this winch that these guys made by Warren with the role that we're gonna thinking yeah is that a rope will drop when the broke breaks if it would happen to break under stress it ain't gonna fly back and hit you right where it chained well we're a chain will so you guys if you're using one of these cheaper winches those those cables will fly to right yep so be careful what the wet I can city what and where Kable then you got to keep an eye on that stuff and replace them or change the ends you know so we're going up to a big tree tree stump and just it we can move it to move it there with the machine yes few time about that big giant one yeah okay it's bigger than the Machine freaking giant log holy crap alright we're gonna do that this'll give you an idea how big this log is okay so Frankie wants to move this giant frickin log with the G he wants to see if that wench can move this lock that's insane Frankie worst part is okay here I'm gonna let you run it I want to get a shot of this okay let me get back okay give it a shot we'll see if the wench can pull it oh oh that's powerful and this was a log we could barely move with the excavator we got a roll it back into place so what are we gonna do disengage it yep back up and back up and they I will put that okay when you say disengage it you want me to actually leave it hooked up to the log and just back around it okay okay well you better hold on to the brakes this time Frankie locked me in blinging lock in went oh you got it free spinning so this Warn winch handles that no problem not amazing I'm surprised you know I didn't think it would make it you thought it would break I don't know what this rope is made out of because this is not a normal roll you know they got that stuff called mule tape another company uses for pulling cable okay that's some tough stuff so yeah the part of the problem is the hook once that comes free that would have network that would have shot like a rocket but we gotta do something now can you bury you bury do up why'd you let me do that just go farther to back up farther in a boat full of good you got a plan take that with wet let it do things just throw it up all right well I'm I'm getting inside the Jeep for this one you ready [Music] what do you think of the rope now Frankie oh I guess it's alright the next test would be did you actually get the truck stuck and then see if they pull it out but you know what future video we're getting the truck stuck the rope worked I like the rope it's definitely safer isn't it yeah I think so way safer all right you guys check out the next video here here god bless you guys go get them
