Kind of a handy self recovery tool. Leave it to the Aussies.

don't see why it wouldn't work, there's been times where i've had to wheel winch without one of those contraptions

My grandfather used to tell me stories about how they got vehicles through tough passages back in the early 1920's when he was working for a Govt. mountain lion survey in the Gila Widerness and along the Mogollon Rim by replacing a tire and wheel with a spare wheel and doing basically the same thing. They would also use the same principle to set up a makeshift saw mill. They would jack up the drive end of the vehicle and use a spare rim to turn a drive belt to run the saw mill. Both were also commonly used by miners of the era, as well.

This kit would certainly be a bit more convenient.

I have a wheel winch on my Honda Rancher 4x4 ATV and it works great. Just look up "Walker Wheel Winch" on YouTube.

Wheel winches have been around for awhile. I wouldn't use one from the front wheels on a KJ though. Possibly from the rear. It can be hard on axles and other stuff.

Hmmm, let's see.

Add length to your lugnuts, THEN put a TON of force on them.

Sounds like a fantastic idea

Those used to be a factory option on either Unimogs or Pinzgauers... don't remember which one but I always thought they were cool.

It's amazing, I posted this item over on JK Country some 5 weeks ago and then somebody here posts the link and lay's claim to it like they found it and it's something new to the Western World!
Does that make you feel good?
Pffff...

They have been around since the 1920's!
And they work pretty good once you learn how to use them!
I've been using that very thing (All be it home made for the last 25 years!)
Be Original dude!
Stop taking credit for something you never even thought of in the first place.
That's the proplem with LOST, most of the new guy's around here don't know doo doo about doo doo!
BTW I did not say Doo about doo doo...

Wow you make the assumption that the OP even goes to KJ Country (KJC) and saw your post. Inc saw a posted a link to something he apparently thought was novel, he obviously didn't know you had a copyright on the YouTube link...

Concerning you recent thread there about LOST... By your comments here alone, obviously you just don't get it. People frequent and enjoy this board because of the level of respect that our quality members show others.... :roll:

Besides the fact that Inc is not really a newbie round this board either...he has 5050 posts since 2006 to your 47 since March of this year...looks like you're the newbie... :roll:

THAT'S IT. :lol:

I forgot all about that. I guess he's back off his medication.

Well he's posting crap about LOST on KJ country. I hope there is a 3rd KJ board, because that might be the only one he has access too.

Ryan... If you want to chat my office door is always open.
