If your engine or transmission takes a dump, you could still winch yourself out with a 24vdc winch...until your batteries go dead.

HiYa davidb56,
Yep such a HEAVY geartrain, but of note is how the other guy overcame a deficiency/need with that geartrain! Probably needed the extra weight also LOL!
RustyStud was the first I remember that advocated for an electric on the front of his deuce, I sorta fell into it, as I got the HMMWV electric winch for the gin pole project...then learned that even the manufacturer stipulated in rather LARGE and BOLD letters NOT TO BE USED FOR LIFTING! So I ended up with an electric winch that I will mount up front like the 2 of you guys!
