Should I get a winch?

[Ken Bowers]

I am thinking about getting a winch for my 2003 H2. I really don't have a good reason except that I think it would look neat. I sometimes cross a river with soft mud, but there is nothing to attach a hook to anywhere near, so I can't use it to pull myself out if I get stuck.

Any ideas group? How much $, best place to buy?
