I will say the content is great, but they didn't have to do Nolan like that lol. An 8000 lb. Badlands winch will move that truck for sure. They're $200 with a lifetime warranty at Harbor Freight plus you can still come out $1000 on top.

Comealong does have some minor yet noteable advantages. For starters it is able to be mounted to any chassis point to pull from any direction, where the winch is fixed to the one spot. Also it can work without power, in the rare event that a dead car needs to be dragged from a hole.

Already beat me to it. Even the most non-offroading youtube nerd would know this just by watching Matt's offroad recovery. They use the come-along with recovery ropes in various circumstances. And before you look at the banana or morvair and go "ThEY DonT hAvE A WiNCh" They do but it's stored in the back as to not take up rear bumper space for the hitch. Anyways anyone who is interested in offroading and stuff check them out. The recoveries are anywhere from funny, to curious to outright sketchy. It's also a family owned business with the kids and grandfather involved so it's actually quite innocent and wholesome. Pretty comfy youtubing if I must say.

I used an old come along winch my father picked up in the 80's to recover myself from a blizzard while driving a forest service road out of the Rockies a few years back. It took an hour and a half to move 20ft; it wasn't pretty but it worked and got the job done. I have always kept one in the bed of my truck after that, no reason not too.

Pro tip: when using a hook from a winch be sure to "hook up" rather than hook down when attaching to another point. If the hook should fail while under load, it will be sent down into the dirt vs shooting up into the air. Always hook up!

There comparison sucked, they spent less than %25 on testing. They didn't mention that you need electric power to use the winch, or that it will get rusty and not reliable while being exposed to the elements, as it won't work when you need it most. Also sometimes if you get stuck in the real world, you may need to be pulled backward, or a strong support like a tree may only be available behind your vehicle. The winch has a lot of disadvantages that they ignored

I've been using a come-along for years. I take my Jeep wheeling quite often and I have a strict budget, I just get things that I need to make wheeling better and nothing more. Thing is, build your ride right and know it's limits, be smart, and you won't get stuck often. 9 times out of 10, throwing a few sticks or a log under it will do the trick. If it doesn't, the come along has gotten me out of everything so far. It's just as dangerous as a winch too, just be smart and safe about it though and you should be fine, and make sure it isn't rusted or shoddy before using it. Again, many years I've used a come along, nothing wrong with it imo.

They're doing this for no fucking reason now. He could have gone to a junkyard see if he can salvage one, or bought a low budget version. They're not even doing compare test anymore. If I want this fuckery I'll go to the speed channel. There are so many ways to make this more interesting. You could have given them fabricators and all the cheap parts and still have their ass over there with all the expensive parts. That would be a great comparison! And you can also make an educational thing so people can see you can do it with cheap parts you just got to put more labor in. But now find the crap parts and put them up against the dope shit that you know you can get from your friends in the industry.... Come on... Donut is better than that....

Hi truck is not built enough to handle the Rubicon. Particularly with novice drivers. To manage Rubicon with 35s is a job. On 33s its award winning. Every year there are stories of stranded and broken trucks on the trail due to people not knowing what they were getting into because they were novices that bought a jeep and instantly think they can go anywhere because its got 4x4. There are plenty of stock to easy-mod trails in Cali they can cut their teeth on. They even publish guide books for trails out west. If they go out without working with a jeep club I will be Very disappointed. It would be negligent of them to go out without the help of a jeep club.

I can move a come-along from my Silverado to my Xterra (actually I just keep one in each). A come-along isn't added weight to my front bumper and doesn't need to be hardwired to my battery. I can connect the come-along to the front, rear, or anywhere needed (a winch mounted to a hitch plate can do this and makes the most sense for winch placement) No remote to break on the come-along. I've used the come-along several times and find no need for a winch, but I will say, if you're doing multiple recoveries on a big trip, they're much more efficient. Problem is the winch "looks" cooler on a truck and screams to everyone that you're an off-roader. The come-along hiding in my tool box doesn't give me that needed street cred when driving to work.

I’ve repeatedly used a come along to self recover when I was 18/19. A couple chains and the come along works just fine. Especially if you are financially challenged/young/or just starting out. It’s affordable and useful. Not only to recover but I’ve also done a little body repair with it as well. If your going to be doing things where you might get stuck routinely, you should be building accordingly and have a winch. Not bare minimum for your vehicle either always go a level or two higher. Makes things easier in the equipment and lowers the risk of not working/breaking.

To do winches on both they should’ve gone with the cheapest winch bumper they could find, or just one with a receiver hitch and made nolan use one of those $80 plug in receiver winches from Walmart.

@@brandonchevy6772 I'm guessing it's mostly to do with the entertainment side of things. It's a show, they are in a time constraint, while they could just have expensive winch vs cheap winch, but I think the difference between the winch will come down to durability, and they aren't gonna get stuck a thousand times and a thousand ways, to find or show the viewers the difference in a 20mins episode. But if it's a winch vs a come-along, it's an immediete difference, so you can make a show about that. Instead of having 2 winch, maybe 200usd vs 1200usd, and then they have identical performance for like 10 recoveries. Nolan at the end also acknowledge that, so he said he'll just buy a cheap winch. And, a come-along, can be used anywhere, where if you have a winch, you only be able to use it in one direction, unless you mount it high up on the headache rack/roof bar, it also doesn't matter if you have a winch or not if your car's battery or engine died

What you didn't mention is that the come-along has uses outside of just getting a truck un-stuck. I had one that I kept with my truck, but I'd also take it out to do work in the yard, hoist my motorcycle from a ceiling mount I put together so I could work on it, as well as a variety of uses while camping. Sure, you could use the truck winch for some of that, but then your truck is stuck there being the winch whereas the come-along can be anchored to a rock, tree, etc. The price difference on this one was pretty severe, and maybe it would have been a better test to go with a super cheap winch instead of a come-along just because they're so different. A come-along is just another tool that happens to be able to fill in double duty as a truck winch.

A front mounted winch is great for front pulls, but a hand winch is ten times more useful in hard situations/sticks. Plus, the hand winch is easier to maintain and doesn't require batteries/running engines. Yes, you can also have a portable winch to stick in a receiver hitch on the front or rear, but you can also use the hand winch for a side or off angle pull. The come-a-long is an OK tool, but there are way better options on the market, like the "more power puller" and others.

I have to say, in my days of being a young dumb highschooler and off roading all the time, there were plenty of times where I got stuck and spent HOuRS trying to figure out how to get out. An 80-dollar come along could have got me out of a lot of those situations a lot faster, and would be feasible for me as a highschooler. A 1200 dollar winch on the other hand, never would have even considered getting it.

Come Alongs are great for rear winching when you're solo. Offroading to winch yourself backwards you need 3 snatchblocks and multiple ropes/chains IF there are trees & rocks in the right places to pull yourself out. With a come along you can just pull yourself out as your emergency tool

Agreed we have come alongs in all our vehicles, and a nice long piece of pipe in the bed. Saves your face and because of African conditions we never travel alone. So one person pulling back and one pushing forward like a giant saw, experience has taught me if you have extra vehicles on hand then the drop in pin type tow hitch works as an excellent pivot for the cable. Ordinarily we don't keep much cable either as it's heavy and straps are lighter and more universal and double for securing loads.

I can honestly say that the Badland Apex 12k winch is worth every penny I've spent on it, along with all of my Gear America recovery gear...I have yet to need any of it off road, thanks to good spotters and all of my other equipment, but the winch has still come in handy for pulling other people out, moving dead vehicles around the property, pulling huge evergreen junipers out of the ground, pulling down dead trees, moving my garage wall that slipped off of its foundation, and more...and when I do finally need it for off road use, I know just how capable all of my recovery gear and my winch is...it's better to have something and not need it, than to need it and not have it...

@@figarybka1393 they probably didn't think about it or didn't want to do the rope conversion, that specific one comes with cable on it. A lot of people still prefer Cable over rope though. It's always way cheaper, it last longer and it's more damage resistant. Rope definitely has some pros though, it's safer like you said, easier to work with and it's a lot lighter, like a hundred lbs lighter of some winches.

If you have a come along, keep a bar for extra leverage. Edit: On second thought, just always keep a long bar or pipe you can use for more leverage. Whether you need to pull a come along, break a lug, or maybe you could be injured and weakened, either way that added leverage could make the difference that gets you out of that situation. You can find an old pipe for free and they take up practically no space.

A come along can come in handy. I'd take the winch everyday of the week, 6 days Sunday. For a lot of folks, being stuck will involve mud. If any mud gets in that come along, it's jammed up and needs to be cleaned before it'll work. The winch will work. That said, I had my Jeep Cherokee stuck in a mud hole and I tried everything to pull it out. A 4 ton come along, 1 ton chain hoist, tow ropes, ect. That jeep was stuck so bad that come along wouldn't budge. Even with help from the chain hoist, wouldn't budge. My buddy came out with his truck and used his 12k lb winch, pulled my jeep right out using a snatch block within 20 mins of getting there. Save the come alongs for small stuff like a sxs or smaller equipment and to move objects on a flat bed, stuff like that. Later, I got a Dakota and added a Zeak 10k lb winch on it I found on Amazon for $250 at the time. Got two snatch blocks, plenty of shackles, safety flags or whatever they are called to place on the winch line, two 30K lb tow straps, and one 15 ft 6500 lb working load tow chain. Put about $600 into everything and that includes the winch mount for the truck. Two and a half years later, I still find uses for that winch and it's never failed to pull my truck out of any predicament. Cheap winches work, but have to be careful as they over heat faster than higher quality winches. I only run mine while under a load for about 10 secs at a time and let it rest for 10-20 seconds. Keeping it covered and run the winch for 1-2 mins with no load once a month or so to keep the moisture out and the gears free and it'll last a long time.

@@nimbleryan735 if you can’t avoid situations where you’d constantly need a winch you should probably just not drive that trail until you have a more capable vehicle.

Not that winches aren’t convenient, but that’s it, unless you’re constantly having to drive Alaskan logging roads in spring they’re more a convenience than a necessity.
