What will they think of next? brushwinch.com Brother by another Mother sent this to me becoming popular in Alaska to assist 4WD out of mud and snow from an anchor point.

I think it is an excellent idea.

Went on the site, it appears that you install the lugs ahead of time and the drum slips over them when needed.

The problem will be weither or not there is an anchor point inline with the wheels, and since you probably weren't driveing directly towards a tree or whatever to begin with, that could be an issue.

They have been doing this in India for years .. great idea

I guess you could use another Truck as an Anchor Point I just don't like using the front wheel for the winch I can see an alignment problem after its use.

Looks like a good way to snap your lug studs in the middle of nowhere.

Lugs are not your factory studs they are hardened ones that are supplied and extend ou,  when all are properly tightened  there is no Problem

let me know when they come out with pontoons for trucks. LOL the jack asses around here think its funny to take there 4X4's withe 50" tires in the mud holes and see how far down they can dig..

This idea has been around for years.

Works great if the vehicle is kept straight.

But, when your stuck vehicle begins to sway and turn, it don't seem to work out as well.

The rope seems to easily slip off the winding reel.

But, hey, I used one 40 plus years ago.

 

Just use a good heavy Warn Winch, no problems, works great.
