DO NOT BUY A WINCH! (Until you watch this) | Off Road Winch Basics 101

Last week, we looked at the ‪@openroad4wd_official‬ Panther Series, 3S winch rated at 13,500 lbs. But why I chose a 13.5k winch over the 12k or the 10k winch is something you need to know before you invest your hard-earned nickels (R.I.P. pennies) on one yourself. In this video, we will cover 10x things you need to know before buying an off-road winch for your rig, plus 3x bonus tips you can use before heading off on your next offroad or overland adventures.

At WBO we believe it is our God-given responsibility to be good stewards of our outdoor spaces. Whether you're overlanding, off-roading, fishing, hiking, or hunting, always pack out what you haul in. If you can, bring an extra trash bag & pick up some of the garbage the worst of society leaves lying around our streams & trails.
