two words... THE CLUB.

jk, but maybe something to lock the unspool in place or just remove the line lock lever.

OR, you could fab a quick release for it by cutting the lever, making a sleeve with two pins like on sway bar quick disconnects. (but then again i dont know how much room there is in the Warn bumper) It is feasible for those of us with the stock winch mount system who leave the winch locked to the front/rear of the h2, and maybe even for those with the bumper depending on how much space you have to work with.

A really cool idea would be to use an electric motor (like the one that shifts the tcase) to remotely lock and unlock the line. You could make it wireless with the kit from ramsey. You could unlock the winch via remote from a safe distance, have a Discovery or Jeep owner drag the cable out for you, then lock the line and activate the winch all from the comfort of your Crazy Creek camping chair while sitting in the shade under a tree drinking your beer. Hell, your feet wouldnt even get muddy.

Now that's an off-road recovery at its finest!
