I really like mine so far and think it may be my best mod that i have done. It gets me unstuck it and gives me more confidence to try new things.

Best mod i've done for wheeling other than the locker, and lift, and tires, skids, and bumper... :lol:

but seriously It has helped me and many others out!

I guess I'll be the odd ball... I had one on my 86 CJ for 9 months and never used it once. It was always quicker to just hook a strap to another vehicle. It all depends on the kind of wheeling you do I guess and how many people go with you.

For wheeling in my area I don't feel the need for one and probably won't buy one again.

There are times though when i would rather have a slow controlled pull out of a situation than to be jerked out by a strap.

The winch has many different uses. For instance it's also useful for clearing trees. I used it to clear a big tree that had fallen across the trail once. Another time i used it to pull someone's car out of the ditch.

Most times I use the strap but there are those occasions that a strap is not feasible like pulling a fellow KJ up a very steep and very loose hill and he is 75'+ from the top and the top of the climb is a hard right turn,a winch comes in very handy there where a strap just will not work.

I've only had the need to use it once to pull an FJ out of a mudpit. Priceless! Had a strap with me too but there wasn't room to use it.
