You guys should have checked out the roadshock edge lights while you were there. 100 for the 4pod 150 for the 6 and they're basically Baja designs replicas. They have been awesome for me so far.

[@W2IRT]

Head-to-head, the 6-pods have more even coverage and do a better job than genuine LP-6s, as well as excellent side flood coverage. Hazard Fraught is serious about off-roading. Love my Bandland 12000, it's saved my bacon a few times.

[@500hp03]

You guys are awesome, love the sarcasm, keep it rollin.

[@gmenelson]

Love my Badlands winch. Good call!

[@joshgarner1174]

The battery terminal expanders have to be mounted after BMS sensors on specific vehicles equipped with them, or the charging system won't function properly. If the vehicle has an AGM battery, it has a BMS system.

[@EPIC-4WD]

You are precisely correct! Our upcoming Battery Terminal Expansion Kit installs and integrates seamlessly with the OE intelligent battery system (IBS) sensor on all JLs & JTs for efficient smart alternator charging under heavy loads. Stay tuned as we'll announce when our kit is ready! Cheers from the team at EPIC!

[@osiviper]

I love the Apex, have it on my Gladiator. I have seen them on so many channels, including MORR, and they use them on EVERYTHING and they haven't had an issue with them.

Good advice, I've seen Badlands winches around, but didn't realize they were Harbor Freight. Checked on line, and it's a decent price for what you got.

[@modmike4406]

Great winch, had one for 4 years on my son's Jeep. Going to get another one for Jeep I just bought. I strongly recommend you trim the bumper if it rubs the winch to avoid cracking the electronics box when under heavy load.

Really enjoyed the video. Going to wait for your following info on the battery terminal upgrades. Wondering if for JKU as well?

[@EPIC-4WD]

Thanks for watching! The battery terminal extension blocks are designed specifically for the JL/JT - custom fit, so they probably won't work in a JK unfortunately.

[@brsnow225]

Don't knock the magnetic controller, I've got the same winch on my gladiator, I stuck my which controller on my steel bumper, lost track of it, drove about 40 miles back home and had a really good 'face palm' when it was still stuck on the bumper. Love the winch, it's been flawless since I've had it, used it to pull me out and over places, others, and a couple of stumps that needed to be elsewhere.

[@hailtothe_rooster1572]

Project farm has a test on the winches…. The badlands ain’t half bad I don’t need one where I’m at. No trees in the desert really

[@TheImmortalsCa]

I’ve had my APEX on for 4 years now. Pulled a f250 about 50ft up a sandy hill… the rear tire was stretched sideways across the wheel making it an anchor. Pulled it up with ZERO issues. I was sold. Been using it since without a hiccup.

@epic-4wd is the torque really 33LB on the 4 mounting bolts to that winch ?and 76LB on the fair lead wouldn’t it be the other way around ? What did you Torque the mounting bolts to ?

Soooo. Does it make sense to go over to the states to pick up one of these? What's the result?

We haven't tested them heavily ourselves yet - soon. So we'll do a follow-up. The price worked out, even with the terrible Canadian dollar. Cheers from the team at EPIC!

[@W2IRT]

I had a Warn VR Evo 10,000 on my Grand Cherokee (WK2), and paid twice as much for that as I did for the Hazard Fart Badland on my new JL. The VR Evo was overpriced junk and I couldn't wait to be rid of it. Meanwhile the Badland has worked first time and every time on my JL. It's got a faster line speed than the Evo too, which is great, and I think the 12,000 pound rating is likely extremely conservative. LOVE the song--who's it by and can I download it somewhere? I want to put this on a loop when I go cruisin' for Icon hand tools. Also, the Roadshock 6-LED lights will beat the pants off Baja Designs LP-6s hands-down, for $150 a pop.

[@timolheiser7874]

Could have bought a SmityBilt Gen 3 - 12 K synthetic . Ginger you should have drove to Harbor Freight with an Armoured car. Think of the things you could have brought home, like their Atlas 80V cordless or 50cc gas, 18 inch chain saw.

There is no other winch I would run. My single compliant is the free spool. Definitely not as easy as some other premium brands but everything else? Equal. I’ve had 2. Both left outside uncovered. Both submerged a couple times. YEARS of use. Hundreds of uses. First one I believe is still working(zxr), sold that vehicle in 2020. My 2020 gladiator is in its first apex. Second line. Less relevant for Canada but for me, the fact that if by some chance it does fail, I can replace it no matter where I am in the country on the same day and still have money for a 3rd before I reach the dollar amount I’d spend on a warn means I’ll run apex forever. Using the hook it came with. I personally love it. Haven’t made the switch so factor55 or just soft looping. Maybe one day.

[@SinCityDetail]

The exchange rate sucks right now for Canadians.

[@EPIC-4WD]

It does suck very hard. Our dollar is doing poorly right now for a myriad of reasons. Even tho - this winch was still the cheapest option for us. Can't wait to test it out.
