Re: Superwinch = junk
The driver with the winch remote had a little dyslexic problem, and
reeled in instead of out, to help the copilot pull the cable out. Real
Jeeps use gear shift lever, that's of course on the winch for it's
operator to use, and he only!

I would have preferred that! At least I would have been frozen.
It just took that long to get in to see the dentist. 1 hour and it was
fixed up, got to go back next week for him to finish it. Have to wait
for the abscess to go away. Pill popping time...
No more pain though! :-)

Re: Superwinch = junk
Ever watch an American tourist try to shift with their left hand? It's even
better than mixing up the pedals.

You'll achieve the same effect by keeping the winch remote in the hands
of winch operator.
Have you yet written up a book of all your "Real Jeep" rules, or do you
just make them up as you go along? ;-)

Left seat, right seat, front seat, back set - they all got to be
commonplace after 3500 hours or so of instructing but watching a new
IP getting checked out was a riot!
Didn't I see where the old guy that whacked a bunch of people out in
CA was actually in a car with modified pedals for a handicapped owner
(not him) and got the wrong pedal? Something like the accelerator was
extended to the left or something? Now THAT would throw me the first
time!
