if your looking to pull or get pulled id have a good yank/tow strap.
if your looking for self recovery with a comalong i would not use a strap because they stretch alot, id keep chains and or a cable around.
as for a winch you can get a multi mount somthing that plugs into a reciever so you can have it back or front that way you dont have to change any bumpers.
a snatch block really isnt going to do you any good with out some kind of cable and a pulling source. Also you will need a few shackles to connect things together, but make dam sure you dont cheap out on them they are like a missle when they or things break.
checking and or makeing good anchor points before you need them is also a good idea.

Good old fashioned block and tackle, tied off to a large stump.  Will get you out every time.

Get a D-ring hitch adapter for the rear that goes into the receiver hitch.


If its the same model (ZJ) as mine, I could fab up some D-Ring mounts for the front and ship them over.

Or, you could get a front bumper with them built into it like this one, and a winch!

holy chit that bumper is nine hundred bucks.    

I clicked on that website and was pleasantly surprised by the WJ selection then i saw that that bumber is close to the cheapest one

you guys got me clicking around and now i'm looking at doing up the whole truck. i was going to try to avoid that with this jeep this time around. 

Without doing any serious weeling i dont think i'll need a winch but then its not always a matter of need is it.

I highly recommend a snatch block, a big effing chain and a big effing winch, a couple shovels and a few buddies.
just sayin....

You should tell them a little more!

I have a cheap Costco/ harbor freight 800lb winch that works pretty good for 300 bucks.... put it on a receiver hitch and set up for front ore rear works great... buddy had same one and had to replace the brushes... went to Romaine Electric and got better brushes like the ones Warn uses he rebuilt him self for like $60 bucks... I'm gona have ot do that soon too but its hard to beat for the money..

even if 800lbs doesnt get you out of a hole, its a pretty sweet deal as a game recovery winch.

Did he have to replace the brushes because of the over load or are they just cheap.

shovel, hi lift jack, lug chains and a tarp.  Tarp keeps you from laying in the snow and getting all wet and cold and even more pissed off.

how often does a high lift jack burry itself 2 feet in the ground?

[jeepasaurusrex]

They sell a nice plastic base you can put under the foot and doesnt really take up any room in your rig. \

I use a simpson capstan winch, a couple blocks and a hank of rope. the beauty is the winch goes from a chainsaw to a winch in 2 minutes, weighs 10 pounds and can pull an unlimited distance. the rope seems to be the limiting factor. I use rope that has a 4k wll and add a block to get fancy. I am amazed everytime I use it.

I also have a good selection of electric winches from a xd 8000i to a re 12,000.......slow as mold, but with a 24k lb stall.....something IS going to move.
