This is a CAT 3 trail that is fun and challenging (especially without lockers). It's hard to tell from this video, but there are big holes an boulders at the top, along with tree roots that provide no traction, and force you into spots you don't want to be. Finding traction and the correct position at the same time is the key. This wasn't my best attempt, but I still made it through without a spotter or any trail damage. The straight exit is known to take out mirrors and rear quarter panels. I've gone out there before, but lately that section is so dug up that I can only seem to exit to the left - which is hard in and of itself.

At Chaos ORP, the following Categories are used to help drivers match to the various trails and obstacles:

Cat 1 if the following applies:
• AT type tires and
• No lockers and
• No lift and
• No armor or
• Have limited wheeling experience or
• Want to take it easy or
• Not disconnecting front swaybar or
• Not willing to play on rocks

Cat 2 if the following applies:
• MT tires and
• Have at least one locker or
• Have wheeling experience at one of the following locations: The Cove (Big Dogs),
Rausch Creek, or Red Cloud, or have taken 201 training and otherwise believe you and your
vehicle are up to negotiating rocks, steep descents, and off-cambers.
• Small lift kit and armor suggested

Cat 3 if the following applies:
• At least 33" MT tires and
• Have two lockers and
• Have a lift kit and
• Are lifted and
• Are very comfortable in rock gardens, downhills, and off-cambers

Cat 4 - Buggies and dedicated trail rigs suitable for Rausch Creek reds or very hard Big Dogs trails.

Off-Camber Rollover Insurance - Winch support

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77QhuFqIq8M&w=640&h=360]

Just a quick video showing how I chose to help ensure a friend of mine didn't roll his Jeep when he ended up in an off camber situation on the trail today. It was an awkward position for him to be in, regardless of how he got there, and he was clearly uncomfortable during this point.

My solution involved strapping the winch line to his roll bar, using a snatch block fixed to a tree to hold his rear end down as he maneuvered out of the troubling spot.

I would 100% do this again the same way if it happens again. We got out of their safely, and that's the goal.

Factor55 ProLink and Splicer - Overview and How To

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-uYHCCzmcE&w=640&h=360]

[ OVERCLOCK3D Jeeps | https://o3djeeps.com ]


In this video I show you the Factor 55 ProLink and Splicer. What they are, how they differ, and how to attach them to your winch line. I also cover Closed System Winching. Let me know if you have any questions.

The Factor 55 Splicer:

The world’s first splice on synthetic rope shackle mounting thimble with rope protection and integrated rubber pad.

The unique machined rope passage provides a tough outer barrier to protect against rope impact and abrasion as well as UV exposure protection. Compatible with synthetic ropes up to 1/2″ in diameter.

The Factor 55 ProLink:

Replace conventional winch hooks with the new safer, stronger, and smarter Factor 55 ProLink shackle mount.

Factor 55 introduces the new ProLink shackle mount for winch cables and synthetic ropes. Engineered and machined in the USA from lightweight billet 6061 aluminum, the ProLink provides a safe means to easily attach a standard 3/4″ screw pin shackle to existing winch cable and rope eyes The cable or rope eye is captured into the body of the ProLink by a removable oversized 5/8″ double shear pin. The front of the ProLink provides the precision shackle mounting hole and massive 1.2″ thick mounting tab. The ProLink is compatible with both Hawse and Roller fairleads and snugs neatly against both versions.

The advantages of winching with a screw pin shackle over a conventional winch hook are many:

Screw pin shackles are up to 5X stronger than conventional winch hooks
Conventional hooks are too small to safely fit both ends of a recovery strap
Recover straps cannot slip out of a shackle like they can with hooks
Hook safety latches are not rated for loads and can tear recovery straps
Conventional hook surfaces add higher stresses to recovery strap fibers, resulting in decreased strap ratings
Shackles can be quickly removed and stowed away until needed for winching.
Hooks do not cinch neatly against fairleads and are prone to rattling and loosening
Conventional winch hooks are designed for chains – not commonly used recovery straps
Engineered, Tested, and Made in USA — Patent Pending
Stress analyzed using COSMOS FEA and destructively tested for confirmation
Billet construction — precision machined from 6061-T6 Kaiser Aluminum round bar
16,000 pound max load rating
Fits all steel cables and synthetic ropes up to 3/8″ in diameter
Fits eyes equipped with standard or tube thimbles to 3/8 inch diameters
1.2 inch shackle tab thickness virtually eliminates “shackle rattle”
5/8 inch diameter 6Al-4V titanium double shear pin
Optional EPDM “Rubber Guard” protects alloy Hawse fairleads — rubber barb attachment
Can be installed and removed in minutes — simple snap ring removal
Cinches neatly against all types of fairleads — Hawse or Roller
Beautifully anodized and zinc plated in the USA
