That's because you're pretty much of an e-wheeler.

And your point is....???
I still don't understand the point of a rear winch. Seems like a lot of extra weight just to pull the dumbass cheap mo-fo behind you who couldn't bother to buy a winch out of the stupid ass line he took. But I guess when you wheel with a bunch of newbs and pompous a-holes you probably need it. Good call....

So you put a new rear bumper and rear mounted winch just to pull other people out? Sounds like you need some new wheeling buddies.

Gotta love Cabelas...there is one in Wheeling WV, about an hour or so from me. I saw in the Pittsburgh Business Times that Pittsburgh may be getting one too!
They are one of the few places that makes tall sized clothes for guys...and being 6'4" that sure comes in handy!

We aren't debating my web wheeling abilities. According to you I never go off-road, have never wheeled before, and am here merely to stir the pot.
Anyway, I thought the point was to go forward down the trail. Why go backwards? OK, maybe you are wheeling alone and have no forward winch point, but then you are a total retard for getting that stuck all by yourself. I see no real use for a winch on the rear of your vehicle other than to pull other people out, and that is retarded to get one to bail other people out.

You will go the way the trail lets you go. When I get stuck, (Cause I am such a badass/dumbass) I GET STUCK REAL GOOD. I am usually a get myself in get my self out type of guy. I love to help, hate to ask for help. So a rear winch helps out a lot on my Polaris Ranger. I could see its uses on the rear of a H2. 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!"

You obviously haven't wheeled with the H3 guys up the Golden Stairs.
After they break their differentials....... The top of that obstacle has a 90 degree turn on it. It's 10 times easier just to hook them up to the rear winch than try to drive away with a strap and that angle or find some way to turn around and come back with your front winch facing. It's that w
Also, when you're pulling someone over/out of a nasty obstacle, you can go much slower and more controlled using a rear winch rather than just pulling them with a strap.
Plus.......it looks cool to have a one.
