Agreed as tires are an important part of the traction equation and I had pretty aggressive tires
However there aren't tires made that would provide traction on the slope/terrain I was on that time. Once a vehicle started down that section, gravity was getting you to the bottom no matter what...
I bought (and QUICKLY returned) the Red Rock winch mount for my 2023 Wildtrak.
What a piece of TOTAL crap that thing was. I wouldn't touch another of their products with a 10 foot pole.
Three of us took our trucks and campers on the White Rim Trail while it was muddy. Even after over an hour in the car wash at the end of the trip, I was still finding that red mud under it for years
Despite what some have posted here, the BIGGEST lesson is that there is NO one size fits all solution for off-roading.
What works for one vehicle or situation might not for another. Even for vehicles in the same group on the same trail.
Where the driver of a vehicle with aggressive tires...
Only works if the ground provides traction
Some uphill terrain HAS to be taken with a little speed.
Conversely I have been on such a steep and loose downhill trail that even with brakes locked and tires not rotating I was still moving down hill
It makes memories but usually NOT the "best" ones
Or it can make for fun entertainment for others on the trail when the owner of that vehicle CAN'T pick a line and proceeds to trash his rig
I ran a generic version of a Power Tank on my 73 Bronco for years (won it in a raffle). Then switched to a fender mounted Viair compressor my brother gave me after he totaled his truck
The issue with power tanks is that once they are empty you are done. So was carrying a compressor as a back...
How about combining these two products.
Have it attach with the screw like the first picture for strength but add the extra storage spots like in the second picture
Make a version with the center tray open to accommodate the speaker in that location on Broncos with the B&O stereo.
With no front cut out like the myriad of others already on the market have (and that I already have for my Bronco) accessing things you put in it will be a real pain with the top on.
