the real truth about winches

[mercutio]

Optimists mount winch in the front
front of car is pointing where you want to go, correct ?

Pessemists mount winch at the rear
if i get stuck it will be better to go backwards same way ?

Realists do not have a winch. Tree is always a bit to far anyway.

What do we call those with a hand winch....covering all bases. I am the optimist with the hand winch for back-up.

Thats so you can get the best angle to get it back on its wheels after you flop it!!!!!

I'm none of the above as my winch is sitting in a box waiting to be fitted when I finally get my arse into gear and finish the new toy.

Careful!

After market front and rear bumper with a welded box section in the middle and a lock pin. This way u can mount the winch on a removable mounting plate with the corrosponding box section and fit it to the front or rear and pin it in place with a power plug on both ends, works like a charm.

I'm both, fitted two one to go forward and when all else fails one to pull me back
