Thanks for watching. For anyone curious. Each chain we used is rated for 12,700 lbs. The crane is certified for 40,000 lbs. Each shackle is rated for 9,500 lbs. This was all to lift a sub 5,000 lb vehicle. Nobody ever stood under the vehicle although the focal length on the cameras might make it look that way. I could've said "don't try this at home" but I doubt y'all have a 20 ton crane at home anyway. Once again, winches are not certified to lift vehicles, so if you want to winch your rig up a tree then you're as stupid as me! Woo hoo! Have fun on the trails!
No link about the bison bolts.
Dirt Complex how have you liked your Milestar Patagonia’s. I’ve heard a couple guys that have them and love them!
Link master Spitz www.bisonoffroad.com/
The Lima Hotel, I was actually going to ask the same question. I’m torn between the Patagonia’s or km2s, the big contributing factor is the km2’s are nearly twice the price then the Patagonia’s for my rig.
@@thelimahotel6874 I have had them for 9 months and I'm glad I saved the money. Ive ran BFG KM and Wrangler MTR in the past. They've performed great offroad.
Lol “ safety chains attached to the control arms”
Real smart, kid
Exactly what i thought m8
Thanks for watching and dropping a comment!
You're smart too, kiddo. (insert sarcasm)
Lol, you dont think a control arm can hold up a car? The 3 point pick forces the chains into the frame anyway.
@@brianmorrison9066 It's ok. When people don't understand the engineering and math behind certain technology they might mistake it for magic or foolishness.
@@DirtComplex The control arm can hold the static weight of that vehicle no problemo, but with the amount of slack in those chains had during the first winch lift that vehicle would have came down with a lot of momentem. Even if it had held it sure would have bent the arms or the mounting points out of wack. Would have worked better connecting winch to static point and following with hoist.
The Epstein joke was class
He got us all with that joke. We were all surprised by it!
Was funny 👍
I don't think hes dead I think hes an ace in the hole.
Hanging a rig from a winch..... Sounds like something I would try. Awesome video.
Haha. Thanks for watching!
Just found this channel and I'm stoked!
Thanks man. It means a lot!
Same here bud, specially because I just got myself a 2005 4Runner limited
I'm loving your videos fellas , keep up the good work thanx for the Harbor Freight shout out I've been trying to tell people for years that HF is stepping up their game lol
Hahah. Thanks. Im not ashamed of my harbor freight parts!
750k or bust! This thing is a keeper! I like your editing, btw. Very entertaining.
Thank you. This comment really motivates me to keep going!
Ultimate tease of 2019
Great vid! I dig the channel, keep us updated on the 4runner!
Thanks! I'll be posting a lot more in the coming months.
@@DirtComplex Nice Truck
I really liked this content. Your knowledge and humor is entertaining.
Thanks bud👍
Awesome thanks for the kind words!!
This reminds me of a scene from “The gods Must be Crazy” 😁
Wow I actually liked your video. Keep it up!
Thank you!!! Much appreciated.
Such a great video. I love the small touches like the "fizzle" with the music a bit after the camera is shooting out the sunroof on trail. MoAr! Pleezs!
Thanks! I really appreciate the compliments! Next video will be gold mountain redemption. We also took a $900 Land Rover Discovery up the trail hahahaha.
Epstein lol that was perfect
That dog was having a good ol time! Great video.
You can immediately tell as he ran up to me that his body language was friendly and playful!
I rarely watch offroad channels because the content is kinda wacky but this video was absolutely fun to watch!!! Keep up the good work.
Thanks! You know we just test drove a 2020 F250 Tremor on the road and I'm thinking about making a video on that.
You guys are funny as hell! Great quality video.
Thanks!
I love your videos so much. You inspired me to get a 2005 Toyota 4Runner for my first car and I’m in the middle of the build. It’s slow going, but I’ll get my bilstein 5100s in soon and can’t wait to get them on!
Awesome! 5100s are great. Ive ran those in the past. Get ready for the many adventures ahead with your new 4runner!
Well this video was enough for me to feel good on decision to buy the apex.
Fine! You got me hooked. I want to see more.
Haha thanks! Part 2 is being worked on right now!
@@DirtComplex awesome. I really enjoy the little things you throw in when editing. It breakers up the video and keeps me paying attention.
@@SaulChavezHernandez Thanks for noticing that!
Damn! Either way, that’s Bakst dude! I wouldn’t have dared to take it to that level!!!! Subbed just for that!!!!
Thanks for subbing!! More exciting videos to come.
I'm giving a like and sub just because of the Epstein reference.
Appreciate the content. Having second thoughts about harbor freight winches now 🤔
You guy's are crazy lol good stuff
Hahah thanks! Im a bit crazy.
Great stuff!!
Great video, you and I got the same T4R, I just put trail edition wheels on my runner last week
Yeah these wheels look great. Great value as well!
@@DirtComplex I love those wheels
The note that was unfolded was totally worth a thumbs up lol
He got us all with that joke. Thanks!
Hell yeah dude!! Come up to Redding and play in the snow with us!
Subscribed! Really enjoying the content, especially on the 4Runner! Please do more videos on it such as upgrades etc. Not sure if you are on the t4r or other forums but the budget builds are very popular. Would love to see more detail like any additional mods, fixes or repairs (noticed the new 5th gen wheels) Did it get bigger tires too? Anything else? Thanks!
He said, pull out!!!😂
There is a button to left of steering wheel that disables the rollover sensor so if you tip off road the air bags don't deploy
Learn something new everyday.
Please upload bumper install video. Much appreciated.
Any update on those Bison Stop Cam Bolts? I haven't seen anything from them yet. I bought some Patagonia M/T's for my 4runner as well. Still waiting on my wheels though.
Wow!!! Impressive!
Thanks!!
How’s the winch holding up three years later?
How much modification did you have to do to get bumper to fit?
whoever decided to not tighten the safety chains when lifting with a winch is truly a spoon among knives
I can't watch till the end, I own one of this V8 4 Runner :D
Did you have to mod your runner or that bumper at all to get the Tacoma bumper on the 4runner?
That's a badass looking 4runner! Those V8 models r the Best!
Thanks! I love this engine. It sounds so nice and MPG isnt drastically different vs the v6!
We need part 2!!
Hey man thanks for dropping a comment! Working on part 2 now lol.
Love going out to Lytle Creek! One of the main areas I go shooting!
Great video. Thanks
All 4th Feb 4runners have a button under a plastic cap by the gear lever.you just press it and you can put the truck in N without the key in the ignition.
Great video. I have the same 4runner. What about the turn signals lights. It would be nice if you shared the video of bumper installation.
I will be posting a bumper installation video as well!
Lift and tire set up?
Mind blasting!
MIND BLAAAAAASTING!
Gods must be crazy DVD, just hook it up to a branch, turn on the winch, and walk away.
How much lift, and What tire size on this 4 runner?
The sign was awesome
Just got mine for $499 did an unboxing & install video! Very high quality winch for the price
How did you adapt the Tacoma bumper to fit the 4Runner?
How did you manage to install the Tacoma Bumper on your 4Runner?
I'm working on the install video and i'll drop the link here when it's done.
@@DirtComplex cant wait, I also have a 4th gen and like how your bumper install came out
@@DirtComplex please o please keep us posted! I've got an 03.
Hell yeah! Quick and easy oil change.
So would you recommend the bumper?
that Epstien comment alone is worth a like just saying, also I'm impressed with this winch so far. Glad you didn't flip the T4R
Did y'all have to modify the bumper to make it work on the runner? Have an 07 Sr5
Yes and no. I'm working on the install video and i'll drop the link here when it's done.
You might also want to install some total chaos cam tab replacements, those are easy to bend and then you cant align the truck at all.
Since I had wrecked my Sentra in November i might put a full exo cage on it and some offroad tires and go ripping around with my fwd 4 banger
The most fun offroading is when you don't worry about every little scratch on your brand new paint. Sounds like a good time!
I used to live in Bloomington off tamarind and slover by the fire house used to go up to lytle creek all the time love it up there!!
Hell yea my place bro best spot for a little cruise for this eria , awesome channel
Thanks guys! We used to take sheep creek as a fun shortcut to snowboard in wrightwood to pass the Friday night 15 fwy traffic.
What state are yall in? I want to take my Taco there.
Does the bumper just fit, or do you need modifications?
I put this same bumper on my 06 and it took a fair amount of mods to fit.
@@russmt4181 I'm curious what kind of mods? Mine is an 04, so I don't think I have to do the hood trim. Do the mounting bolts line up, or is there a bunch of work to be done there?
Any updates?
How is that apex holding up?
Where's the link for those Bison bolts?
Bison offroad is still testing and getting them in stock. Earliest will be January 2020 and I'll have a video on those soon!
Dirt Complex The Tacoma bumper fit without modifications??
Mostly. The bottom bracket does not line up without modification. I will have an install video soon.
thumbs up for the epstein note. thnks for the laugh. i really needed it this week.
subscribed.. you gotta get that part 2 out asap.. also, is that milage on the same engine?! this 4R looks new!
Thanks! Just finished filming the rest of it today so it will be out very very soon! Haha yeah. The paint is actually faded in a lot of spots but the camera and silver color hides it.
Dirt Complex nice! Can’t wait to see the rest of it
Video went legend when he found the note!
Hahaha yeah he surprised us all with that move.
Did you have to make any modification to get the bumper to fit ?
I have an 04 v8 4runner and also am looking to get that front bumper
The main bumper bolts on after cutting to clear the ac line. I'll put up an install video soon! Gonna get part 2 out first.
That Epstein note was hilarious. Just ordered this winch, excited for it to get here!
These guys are certifiable. :ROFL But it makes my decision to purchase a Badlands winch from Harbour Freight perhaps a bit less crazy. If I end up doing so. We'll see. I love channels like this, these folk will take a nice shiny truck and risk demolishing it, all for the sake of adventure and engineering. Inspired me to start my own build channel, as well, Frontier Geek.
I can't find those cam stop bolts here or on the Bison website. Are they discontinued?
I will post the link in the description and also have a new video when they are released mid January. Thanks for watching!
hey Dirt Complex, super cool and crazy video dude. Question, do you know where can I find size measurements for that winch? I'm trying to see if I can fit one of those in a victory4x4 blitz bumper insert for the 4th gen.
I'll try and get some measurements tomorrow for you. You can send a dm on Instagram as well to remind me in case I forget!
@@DirtComplex thank you brotha! I sure will
I'm trying to use one of these winches to make a scissor lift I can use to work on my house's exterior. What capacity do you think I will need to lift about 300 LB to a height of about 10-20 feet?
I'm guessing you're planning on using the winch in a horizontal fashion? Adding pulleys will multiply your capacity greatly and keep most of the line around the winch which is what you'd want.
@@DirtComplex No, vertical. Since posting this comment, I learned that winches are for horizontal pull and hoists for vertical. So, I guess a hoist is what I need. Thanks for replying regardless. Great video
When did ebay start building bumpers?
Advice on maintaining a 4th gen this long? Thanks
Man I went to site to look for those cam bolt. Couldn’t find it and came back. See this was still being tested. Smh.
Same here.
@6:45, Most Legit Easter Egg ever.
What bumper does that black FJ have?
That Doggo at 11:48 - OMG. Good Doggo.
He is all over the place while trying to be helpful, wag tail , sniff, run around, assure my Humans, repeat.
So cute, :-)
Haha the dog started barking when we were winching the jeep out!
The Epstien part was hilarious! And holy shit! 476,000 miles!? That's incredible. Any major repairs?
Thanks for watching! Nothing major other than the usual timing belt and related components replaced.
It's amazing how many people don't realize that you can lower your tire pressure's and 8t makes a huge difference in the snow.
Try it.
6:50 TRUTH IS IN THE PUDDING
Jesse Yakuta it’s ‘proof’ is in the pudding...
I would to see a real test on these winches. Like will it really pull 12000lbs as advertised.
Wow cool
Cool video. As an avid Overlander the only thing I would add is you must test how it performs after being wet repeatedly submerged during water crossings. I overland to reach remote surfing locations and able to confirm my 12k Badlands winch on my 4runner and boat have zero issues. I only swapped out the steel cable and stock pull hook for synthetic line and factor 55 thimble. And I believe you are testing the new version which comes with a synthetic line stock. Removing stock hook is key as over time I saw my previous 8k stock hook snap and almost took my friend. However, this is a possibility on any winch with a factory hook while winching. Have fun on the trails!
Will definitely get some river crossings and submerged this thing. I'll keep an eye on the hook. Thanks!
Nooooooo... it ended to soon can’t wait for part 2 😂😂🤙🏾
Thanks! Haha part 2 will be here soon!
Is that the same Lytle Creek from Inland Empire California,, I live in the High Desert.
Yup! Right off Sierra.
I bought the Badlands 12000 for $320 after tax. I will mount it on my home made flat bed truck. I will be uploading some videos soon. Awesome video.
Awesome that's definitely a steal!!!
@@DirtComplex The Apex is an awesome winch just to rich for me. I need wire rope due to my project but later may by an Apex. I'm building a mount this weekend.
Lyttle creek off the 909 area?
What's the link to bumper
Looks like a good time are you a member of any off road group. I have a 07 Tacoma SAS on 40s. I'm in socal and looking to link up with people that 4x4.
Not really. I think my friends are members of overland bound. SAS on 40s will go way further than any of our rigs!
@@DirtComplex iv hit a lot of the big rock crawl areas like Johnson valley in the past in more beater rigs. But I have not got out and enjoyed the more standard trail systems. Looking forwards to hitting them in the future.
06:30 Nice '67 👍
Great content. So do you recomend the winch?
Yeah in Part 2 I put it to use on the field and it didn't let me down. Ofcourse, I won't know how the longevity is until a year from now.
No link for that stop cam bolt. Tried to find it and couldn’t on bison’s site. Can you send me the link?
Should be available mid January. Check back in the description of this video for updated link next year.
Dirt Complex cool. If you chat with them tell them I WANT one it.
Huum harbor freight may send you that money back and may use this video.lol...great video cus
HAHAH I wish. I tried to post this video on my review on their website and they've block it... twice!
Nice 👍
What free crap did u get when u bought the winch?
One thing....dead weight hanging is a lot different from pulling out of some deep mud suction.....adding almost half the weight of the vehicle, if not more. But I do know this winch will do it. Best winch for the money by far!!
The cheap HF winchs are a great value because they cost less than $300. They are really slow but reliable. I'm sure this is a decent winch but there is no way in hell I'm spending $600 on a throw away winch you can't buy parts for.
