[QUOTE="NotMatt, post: 978279, member: 15947"] Tree saver, D-ring and a snatch block to redirect the cable back to the stuck person. Or yeah, recovery strap. Anyway, trust us on this one... you're going to ditch the receiver mounted winch the first time you get good and stuck and you have to haul that thing up hill over or around some tree stumps without tripping on a tree root and falling and breaking a bone... once you get it there, you'll have to maneuver it into place on the front receiver, which may or may not be buried in mud, full of dirt, or blocked by a stump or rock. Once you get that mounted up, you'll have to plug all the wires in and get the controller all strung... then you can just start your recovery process. I know, I thought the same thing when I first got my winch... wouldn't it be handy to be able to put it on the rear of the rig. The fact is, the benefits of having it solidly mounted up front and out of the way of everything FAR outweigh any situation you'll ever be in where you absolutely HAVE to have a rear winch. Plus, in-cab controls are sweet. Tell your passenger to hop out, unspool that cable and hook up the tree saver, flip the switch and pull yourself up, unhook and spool the cable in, and you're on your way. :D On-topic though... that looks like a pretty nice setup, and it looks like you're well-prepared. I need to revamp the storage in the back of my rig... limited space gives ample opportunity for creativity in storing things. :D [/QUOTE]
