I hardly ever go off road, I have taken people with me but no other vehicles.
I just want something to get me out if I have to.

you better be on some serious steroids or have a bed full of ****** blocks if you want to use a come along to pull out your truck..
winch, works for me. 15000 lb capacity, add in a ****** block to double it, theres nothing stopping me from getting out.

I like hamsters idea...bring an extra rim with rope or winch cable on it, and if you are stuck change the tire out with that one, it should would just as good as a winch....that is some ingenuity there....how'd that commie bastard figure that out....lmao

That is what we had.....the extreme lift jack would definatley work better what are the cost comparisons???
It wasnt that bad....4 pieces of wood, Extra thick woven tow rope, full size cable come along, my best friend to help push (hehe), and a near inguinal hernia...

I would ratehr use the hi lift jack, but the pin shears at 7000 pounds. The truck alone is 7200 +passengers +gas +whatever else.
I dont want to be out there with the hi lift and shear a bolt and be stuck and have broken equipment.
An electric winch is my first choice, but for cost reasons, mounting reasons, and the lack of use, I can not justify to myself buying something like that....
Maybe I will find a deal I can not pass up and get a winch with hidden mount (I dont want to show off the winch, I would want a clean look).
Thank you all for your comments and suggestions
