I would rather hook up a chain and pull someoneelse out than use a winch if possible. Otherwise, unless you brace your truck, your truck will slide toward the person you are winching out instead of vica versa. You could not leave your truck in drive and pull someone out with the winch that way because you would ruin your winch. If I spend the money on a winch, it is for my needs. Why would I want to burn it up on some other knucklehead when I could pull them out with a two strap.Seriously, if you are so nieve to think that you do not think you could use a rear winch, you need to spend more time wheeling in the woods.

All I see this thread is about is, "HEY LOOK AT ME! I AM SUCH A CRAPPY DRIVER I NEED 2 WINCHES TO GET UNSTUCK!"

That says a great deal more about your vision than it does about this thread.

I have to agree.

Last time Tower was in Moab with us, he ventured out in front of everyone for some reaon and got into the famous "HELPIMBOBBING Situtation." A rear winch would have been helpful here as he could have winched him self back just enough to continue on rather than moving truck around that had a winch to pull him back.

I pulled him with a strap IIRC Tim

I thought Gays liked to be looked at. If not, What is with the assless chaps and flamboyant talk? And always accenting your ssss' that way. I think when God created homo's, he meant homosapiens. Not Homofags. Why not shut your mouth for a while and let the big boys talk.

9 times of out 10 a strap and a buddy pulling is more effective than a winch. Doesn't matter whether it's from the front or rear.

But I've seen several situations where a rear winch would have come in handy. And Ask Rox! We used her rear winch several times.

Yeah. Having a winch is a luxury. I do not use mine if I do not have to. I get deep into the woods a lot. That means be prepared or be walking.

I've used my winch rarely in self recovery. Maybe a dozen times in 10 years of wheeling. Mostly when I owned the Jeep. On one of them I used both to pull the H2 out from side sliding further down an abandoned mine pit when I got caught in a miniature landslide.

I've used my winches mostly to recover wheeling buddies or just being a good samaritan during the winter months. There are trails where it is impossible to turn around to access your front winch to help out one who gets stuck behind you. This has happened a lot.

Or strapping on a trail with multiple ledges or tight turns. West coast wheeling is not as easy and friendly compared to the wide open super traction surfaces of Moab.

It's not used as much as my front, but it's definitely a godsend when the need arises.

I'm surprised GayBob would make such a statement. I'm sure it's only because he's just hurt about something else. No block of wood to lean on.

But remember, not everyone wheels like you, oh Mighty King of Potato Salad.

What were the names of the 4+ trails you ran but forgot what they were called?
