Rear Winch on a JT

[Bandit’s Lair]

Probably better off putting one of these in the bed and calling it a day.

My JT weighs close to three tons; even a moderately mired vehicle needs 2x gross weight for recovery. THAT and I'm OLD, lazy, and somewhat impatient.... I'll stick with a powered option LOL!

Straight pull power on one of those is around 12k lbs. the rating listed is for lift tonnage.

OK, missed that part; you're right! But the lazy and impatient part still applies

I don’t blame you there. I’ve had to self recover off a buried spare once. Never want to have to dig that hole again.

Yeesh. You guys are using winches?

I once considering taking mine off and having it setup to use on a hitch mount front or back (or even on my tractor?) but my custom from bumper is already done - so I guess it stays

LOL... not a week goes by I don't use the winch! One, I'm a rancher, and the Gladiator ain't a horse, and in my Jeep club, I seem to be the designated recovery man. Most of the 2 doors I can just snatch because I out weigh them by 1000+#, but some of the bigger rigs need the winch and sometimes another jeep or two as anchors.... clay can be a beyotch!

Using one of these no doubt!

In the LJ that is what I used. In the Gladiator, and since I’m a tiny bit “wiser” I’ll be picking up a full sized shovel and cutting it down to about a 3/4 sized shovel. Makes it easier and still saves some room.
