Why Have I Been Off-Roading Without This? (Land Cruiser 80 Build)

Описание: The Land Cruiser 80 Series finally gets a winch! In this video, I install a 12,000 lb Openroad winch on my ARB bumper and walk through the entire process - from unboxing to testing. Along the way, I tackle the common challenges (spacers, custom mounts, reclocking the clutch), explain why proper spooling direction matters, and show how to stretch a synthetic line for the first time. If you’re new to winches like I was or looking to add recovery gear to your off-road rig, this guide will help you get it done!
