Winching

Like this??????????Winch

I have used this method once - VERY physical but worked.

Using a Hi-Lift Jack as a winch - Video

Hi Lift jack as a winch - Video2

As I carry a Hi-Lift jack all the time it is a viable option for my setup

Actually the Hi-Lift Jack is under-rated by many - it can be used as a:

Lift
Winch
Clamp
Jaws Of Life

go to this site to view a series of Hi Lift videos showing some of these applications

I agree with Davoe and all the ?????? re the link he posted. As some others observed on that forum, all that setup will do is tear your vehicle in half.
There are others here much wiser than I, but I would assume you could use a hand winch attached to the rear ( I believe there are some who advise that it is a more useful and versatile device than the expensive, heavy and water intolerant devices many insist on bolting to the front of their vehicles).
Of course some people may get a lot of use from their electric winches but some are never used - but that is off the topic.
Do any winches have a roller attached to allow the cable to pass under the vehicle?

I'm sure there's a winch somewhere that you can fit to your towbar instead of the square tow tongue...

Ah.. here it is http://www.watling-towbars.co.uk/4x4_winches.html

I my landie FC101 - I just run the cable out through the rear and winch away - the advantage of having a mid mounted PTO winch on the side of the chassis that works forward or back:)

look up the warn pullzall. cordless winch

I have a patrol , with synthetic rope , and the angles of thr winch mount I made allow the rope to be just thrown under the car and it winches backwards as on the Patrol the rope underneath only touches the two axles.

The above reduces the winch pulling power to about 1/2 but this is still a lot more than a hand winch and a hell of a lot easier.
