    I've had a bit of a search for stripping a Ridge Ryder, because I want to see how they are constructed. My Aldi winch will drag my Patrol across cement in 4 H, hubs locked, 5th gear and hand brake on tight. But the first stage gears are just molded into the alloy case, and the brake is only lightly built.

    Has anyone stripped a Ridge rider?

    I know a guy that had an ironman winch and that was the same as the ALDI one.

    Yep, pretty cheap and nasty. I got it secondhand and found it had been immersed and left wet. It is still going after I cleaned it out serviced it with boat trailer grease.

    Some of the better winches use all steel gears and have a hefty brake assembly.

    What did you buy today

    Some switches for the Trol. A push button light bar and driving lights switch and a waterproof momentary on/off/on switch to be used as the external switch for the winch.

    Bought one of these today

    to replace this
    IMG_4282.JPG
    because this happened yesterday
    IMG_4280.JPG
    First time ever used RACV membership for towing.
    Back story
    Had a day out out the back of Walhalla yesterday up thru Merringtons past Toombon thru Aberfeldy and a couple tracks just south of Mt Selma Rd.
    Coming home had to stop at lights in Yarragon, lights turn green go for second gee what was that, trying to get into second WTF in the right hand lane with a line of vehicles behind me, manage to force it into gear and drive up to a right turn lane, at the same time pressing the clutch pedal in vain. Pull up at the end of the turning lane, now what.
    Traffic had cleared so manage to force it into first and started moving, got into left lane and with a bit of finessing got to fourth. So I thought get as close to home as possible then call RACV. There is not a traffic light between there and the United Servo on Dandenong Hastings Road so I would only have to stop if traffic got bad. Only had to wait about 75 min to have vehicle being loaded for final 16 odd ks.

    Cheers
    Trevor

    What did you buy today

    Not bought but hired for the weekend. A cherry picker to get these Ivy covered dead trees down. I’m not a big fan of heights so this will be interesting.

    Fun mate! They are awesome to drive, just absorb the bounces with your knees and you won't even realise you're up there!

    Oh and the turtle mode is useless, stick to rabbit mode lol

    Good luck, I went up in a bloody high cherry picker once. I nearly cried with fear.

    You don’t drive this one Nic. You tow it. But it goes up 15m so it will be interesting none the less.
