I don't mind cheap but if I was paying someone for an offroad recovery I would want it done professionally. There is a time to yank with a rope and a time to winch.
If you watch the video I posted of his, you will see him use the badlands winch. It failed, it did not pull crap. I am not so worried about brand, more about size and rope capacity. Again, if I was paying someone to recovery my rig I would not be happy if they had to yank me 50+ times to get me up a sand hill. A pickup with a professional crane type winch, the kind you see on tow trucks doing recoveries on a beach, would have winched that jeep up the hill.
Would you be a happy customer if the jeep in that video was your 80 series. In all honesty if it was your 80 series he would not have got it up that hill just by repeated yanking due to the extra weight of an 80 series. All that yanking can really mess stuff up. It did a number on Matt's jeep.
If I ever need an offroad recovery in the area I would call Ramsay's towing in Kanab. They have been getting all kinds of 4x4's and RV's unstuck for years. They recover a lot of idiots from the beaches at lake Powell. I would also consider Casey's offroad recovery.
