He uses the phrase " 4wd nutter like myself" and "hi-lift", "jack-all" and many many more.
And to top it all off, the article is actually somewhat informative. Enjoy.
As in "barge comes equipped with a heavy-duty deck wench..."
No, I don't think it was accidental, most of the time.
I used to work in ad production for a newspaper. Truck Dealership submitted an ad description for:
1 Ton Truck with Wench.
I used the winch on my fine tone Polaris Sportsman 500 ATV twice this summer to pull myself out of tight spots I managed to get wedged into. The damned ATV weighs too much to lift it up and out.
"unless you were a complete 4wd nutter like myself or working / living in an environment where you are likely to get stuck on a near daily basis"
I have winches on two of my vehicles and think the writer is a moron. If he gets stuck more than a couple of times a year and uses that crappy highlift jack to get himself out, he is a "nutter" and he can't drive worth sh!t. Anyplace my vehicles get stuck, you couldn't get me out with a highlift jack unless you were willing to go up and down like 30 times. I'd like to see him using that jack in 18 inches of wet clay. Use the winch. and these days, you can wind it with 150 feet of Amsteel Blue (synthetic cable) that only weighs about 10 lbs. The typical recovery winch comes with a remote control and costs less than $1k.
Here's the "Hi-Lift" tm jack. A most versatile tool residing in the back of my 4x4 F-150.
And like Dirty Harry's .44 magnum, "it will plumb take your head off", if one's middle name is stupid.
I better go ask my winch ......wife

Where would Hogwarts be without winches!
IB4TP?
Ohhhh.... Winches....
Nevermind.
I kid.... I kid....
Definetly. Many winches on the front of trucks and Jeeps cleared roads throughout the South after the 2004, 2005 hurricane season.
I have simply got to cut down on the OT.
I missed this thread by almost 2 full days!
A Hoist Roll-Off Truck needs a winch. As a matter of fact, this is the best system for loading and hauling construction waste boxes. I guess whether you need a winch or not depends on your mileage. I only state my specific use because of my many years in the trash business. Winches are necessary, EVEN MY WIFE. ;-)
Never mind.
Oh, that type of winch.
Wenches may not be necessary, but they are more fun to be with in the evening than guys.
