wtf all this shit? Seriously? I could get my cousin to call his brother to call his cousin to call his uncle to call his friend and we could all come out and mud where im stuck!
Thanks Hunty. I'm a newb, and looking to get a winch as soon as I can, and I also tend to trek out on my own. I play it safe, but I have gotten myself into some hairy situations. Where I'm from, mud is king, and some of the puddles can go on for quite a bit, so the concept of winching back away from an ever deepening puddle is perfect for my situation. Thanks for the clear instruction.
Ill take you 4x4ing places the jeep will fail and a Toyota or Nissan will leave it behind. Certain terrain requires certain mods to vehicle . Jeep are limited .
12T D or bow shackles will not fit in the palm of your hand!! What you were using we're 3-5T units, still a good thing and the same size used by most...
This video is correct. The only part that made me cringe was when he held the snatch block in his hand while activating the winch to get the cable on the roller. He knew what he was doing (holding his hand completely flat), but please be very very careful if you touch any of your winching equipment during even the slightest operation.
Jeeps always get stuck numb nuts! If they don't, why even put the winch on? Must be a Jeep thing! lol seems like alot of cable to pull the Jeep a foot. dont get it

Your snatch block arrangement doubles the force available from your winch, however that force is applied across the whole rope (both front and rear).
The reason this worked is because the snatch blocks were at an angle to the front and back (more so at the front), and this pulled the vehicle back and to the right.
If the ropes were straight out the front and back, you would have ripped the winch off the vehicle!
@Splashdown64 Sorry, but that is incorrect. What you are saying would be true if the two end anchor points are the front and rear of the vehicle. In this case, the front anchor point is the winch and the rear anchor point is at the last tree (not the Jeep). The rear of the Jeep is connected to the final snatch box located in the final bite of the winch rope. The result is that ~double pulling force is located at the final snatch block, while "single" force is applied at the front of the Jeep.

I wonder why you cant just run the cable under the vehicle (using that rear tow hitch islet as a guide)?

Always wondered how that was done. Time to add a couple more winch blocks to the kit!
