I want a winch too

(1) Can be used front or back after disconnects are installed on both ends.
(2) Out of weather and road conditions.
(3) Secured inside vehicle or garage when not being used.

At least they SEEM like good ideas.

For pulling yourself out of the mud or snow, it might be kind of a cool idea.

But the first time you're stuck halfway up Winch Hill #1, or precariously hanging by a single knob of tread on your tire from the ledge on Wrecking Ball, your butt puckered to the seat, not wanting to move an inch and shake the vehicle loose, pleading with someone to put down the stupid camera and pull your winch line, saving you from a certain roll-over; You're going to wish your winch was permanently hooked to the front of your vehicle...and so will the guy that has to rummage through the back of your rig trying to find it and hook it up before your vehicle slips and crushes him 😯

Somehow, I don't see myself on Fordyce or Hammers with the XJ ... at least not without some MAJOR changes. At which time, I will put permanently mounted winches front and back with the money left to me from the DIVORCE settlement. :girly:
