I'm one of those guys that has absolutely every single toy you can think of for recovery. Two airbags, high lift Jack, 14k pull pal, you name it I probably have it, while simultaneously having never used it.... half dozen snatch blocks, 500 foot of extra cable, I have it all! I mean all! 25k...

I've done the sideway things once myself. Was travelling with a 28 foot travel trailer behind me going up a skinny narrow mountain road. One of the dumber things I've done no doubt, but everybody and their mother and brother telling me not to do it that it couldn't be done was nothing but...

I actually have a Warn 4500 pound winch that came off of a side-by-side that I've been meaning to do something with.... with a snatch block I can get 9000 pounds. Still, if I get to the point that I've buried this thing up to the frame, I'm gonna need one heck of a lot of power and I don't see...

Well I already have this one and I need the capacity anyway my cargo van is pretty darn heavy when loaded up so best I have something super duty if I'm going to do it.

You can say that again, in fact you can say it 10 times, I had the prettiest rig in the world before I totalled it.. Warn 12k front, 10k rear on a tuned out 3500 Duramax SRW +1,000,000 OTHER THINGS. My dream truck it was. Not one time did I need it over the course of many years to pull myself...

I'm so glad you saw the humor in it! Almost everything I write for the most part has some kind of satire in it one way or another, though, there are some people that want to go through life being serious about everything and don't take too kindly to my sarcasm / satire. I thought it was fun as...

And by the way, this is my room, if you don't want to be here, then stop opening my door and find the exit door for yourself

Just an outlandishly absurd comment and obviously you are butt hurt about the AAA statement and looking to lash out LOL. Stop being so immature.

:)

Funny, but I never did think about strapping it to the van instead of a tree! That is excellent advice and exactly what I was looking for here, ya know, at the wrong place for me lol. The rest of your comments didn't make any sense but I'm too tired to explain why! But in short, unless I plan...

Excellent point and something to keep in mind! The more layers I have on the drum the lower the rating. And of course I can offset that by using a pulley which I do most of the time anyway cuz, well why not? Lol. I'm not a fan of synthetic rope at all, except maybe in this specific circumstance...

Absolutely! But keep in mind I don't have to attach the winch to the tree itself if it's 100 yards away. I can run 75 feet of cable and then attach the Winch and then the short run to my van. I think a fully charged starter battery will last long enough, at least long enough for me to determine...

And by the way, I'm not even a fan of Winch bumpers. Every set up I've ever had is just like a simple platform that sticks out in front of the bumper. The last couple have been Warn Trans4mers and that was absolutely perfect and right up my alley!
