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 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.

I pulled him with a strap IIRC Tim

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?

[tower]

You wish!

Now don't go putting words in my mouth. I am not saying that a front winch is not needed. In fact, a winch on the front of your rig is just about mandatory on the trails I run. All but one of my wheeling buddies have a winch on the front of their rig, and the one that doesn't won't go where the rest of us take our rigs. Weight is a major factor in four wheeling. Something that is lost on you H2 guys all things considered. Why put the 150 extra pounds of weight on your rig? Just to look cool? To pull someone else out? That is retarded. Fact is a 4000lb rig will out perform a 5000lb rig all things being equal. So why put more crap on your rig? Go ahead and wire up your rear winch, put on your huge roof racks filled with crap you really don't need, and your strap down your inflated egos and good luck keeping up with the smaller and lighter rig. You know, the ones who only need ONE winch to get unstuck.

Why parade around like with all the Gayboy references? Just to look cool? That is retarded.

Why do you ask? Maybe I am really a gay man. Do you have problems with gay people? Do you think about me when you are naked? Do you like fish?
