Telling someone the world is full of people doing stupid things and dying is not constructive. Some people here have linked videos that show the operation of the winch - that is being constructive. I still like the idea of using a portable winch so I can see what I'm doing. Others have noted...

Thanks I'll be sure to crawl into my cocoon and never come out. Would you like to buy my truck, my cars and my house? Life is so full of perils, why bother trying to live it.

For sure there comes a point where one needs to admit it's time to throw in the towel and call a pro. I have a fantasy (not that kind, sickos :p) concerning this truck. I want to take it on a world trip, to drive the outback in Australia, to trace the Mongol Rally course across Europe/Asia...

As I think about it (and I'm just thinking so, if someone wants to explain why it won't work that would be good to know), I would store the electric winch in the truck. If I get stuck, I would use a cable to connect the winch to a tree or whatever I'm using to act as the anchor, then another...

The reply had unintended consequences. When I read it, I read if you don't know your truck inside out, you shouldn't have one. Reminded me of other times in my life when people have said, if you don't get it the first time, quit. It's also reminded me of other times on this board when people...

I get it, I suck. I'll be sure to inform you when/if I ever make it to England in my deuce so you can take the appropriate measures. You also might want to avoid my threads in the future, unless you're looking for a laugh. I'm not afraid to ask ignorant questions, it's a big part of how I learn.

I guess I just don't know enough about winches. I took the 5t rating of our winches quite literally. My truck weighs around 7t now (modifications) and when I'm done with it, I expect it'll weight over 8 maybe 9. Why is the winch rated at 5t if it could haul even the stock truck up a tree? I...

Now, there are several problems with this, as things stand. Feel free to correct me: 1) the winch just isn't powerful enough to pull out deuce and 2) the way it operates in front of the truck, you'd probably kill yourself if it did - not sure if you can fully use the winch from inside the...
