As off-road enthusiasts and avid dirt drivers, we're always keen to know what's new in the industry - whether it's the latest model Jeep or a new hi-tech gadget designed to make off-roading that much easier. So in this episode of Dirt Every Day Extra, we're exploring the latest offerings from Warn, one of the oldest and most respected names in off-road equipment.
Warn has been around since the 1940s, when founder Arthur Warn started building locking hubs for surplus Willys Jeeps. Today, the company produces a wide range of off-road products, from winches and bumpers to recovery kits and lighting. So what new gear do they have in store for us?
First up, we're looking at Warn's new Zeon Platinum winches. These winches are top-of-the-line, and have some seriously impressive features. They're available in 10,000- and 12,000-pound weight ratings, and are equipped with a new wireless controller that can operate the winch from up to 100 feet away. The controller also has a built-in LED flashlight, making it easy to work in the dark. The winches themselves feature new, sleek styling and are made from lightweight materials, so they won't weigh down your rig.
Next, we're checking out Warn's new Ascent bumpers. These bumpers are designed for use with mid-sized and full-sized trucks, and are built tough with heavy-duty steel construction. The Ascent bumpers also feature a sleek, low-profile design that integrates into your truck's existing frame, giving it a factory-installed look. They come with two D-ring shackle mounts, which can withstand up to 12,000 pounds of force, and are available with optional LED lighting and winch mounts.
Moving on, we get a peek at Warn's new Hyperlink Lights. These LED lights are designed for use with Jeep Wranglers, and come in three different sizes: 20-inch, 30-inch, and 40-inch. They're made with high-quality materials, like polycarbonate lenses and die-cast aluminum housings, for maximum durability. The Hyperlink Lights are also incredibly bright, thanks to their high-output LEDs, and are designed to offer better light coverage than traditional LED light bars. Plus, with their slim, low-profile design, they won't interfere with your Jeep's clearance or airflow.
Finally, we take a look at Warn's new SDB-160HB portable winch. This winch is a serious powerhouse, capable of pulling up to 16,000 pounds of weight. It's designed for use in tough, off-road environments, and comes with a long, heavy-duty cable and a wireless remote for easy operation. The SDB-160HB is also portable, thanks to its built-in carrying handle, and can be powered by either a 12-volt battery or the vehicle's electrical system.
Throughout the episode, host Fred Williams takes each new piece of Warn equipment on a test drive, putting them through their paces in a variety of off-road environments. From winching out of a mud bog to testing the durability of the Ascent bumpers, Fred gives us a detailed look at how each piece of gear performs in the field.
Overall, if you're an off-road enthusiast looking for the latest and greatest in equipment, you won't want to miss this episode. Warn's new products are designed to make off-roading safer, easier, and more fun than ever before, and Fred's test drives give us a clear picture of just how well they perform. Whether you're a fan of Jeeps, trucks, or any other type of off-road vehicle, there's bound to be something in this episode that catches your eye.
