    My father made a pair of these at work in 1961. He could hardly wait to get a few beers and go test his idea. He drove off into a bogg, We got out of the car into knee deep mud. He hooked up his invention and it worked. Rip Dad

    When I was in the US Army in early 1970's, the vehicles had a from hub that extended with holes on the opposite side. You could insert the tire iron, loop a rope around the iron and hub and use it as a winch. Also had the same on my familys 1950's surplus Jeeps.

  • @JoeFLSTC

    Old army 1/4 tn 3/4tn and 5/4 tn used to use a tire iron through a connector on the hubs. Worked great. If you have duallies you can tie up in between the duals as well.

    I made some "Wheel-Grabbers' attached to 2 or 4 wheels that easily strap on to the wheel. Based on the old fence-post attached to bogged tractor wheel trick. They are like 'paddles'. And cheap. Just a bit of 2 inch channel (or a 4" x 2" hard-wood) temporarily strapped to each wheel. Wonder why the Yanks have them but not here in Oz?

    the cheaper version=rope or a recovery strap, and loop it through a hole in the rim and then tie it so the long piece of rope lies on top of tire when your tire spins it wraps the rope around it. it only works if you have something to tie on to directly in front of you (same as the "Bush winch")

      shanesaw13, smittybuilt winch may cost less if you do not account for the fact it requires a mounting system, such as front tow system or a bumper with mount that will fit it adding to that cost, or a pole/post/tree strap mounting system to tie off to even. Then again both have their limitations in price but also use and todays xchange rate makes this lower cost than the winch.

      Oh nice. I have never seen that before, but I do believe that Toyota made it factory equipment on some 40 series and 70 series models. It seems to be more common with some engine options than others, at least on the 70 series models. Toyota may have only offered it in certain markets or with certain engines, although I am not certain about the latter of those two.

  • @999benhonda

    unless your vehicle has a limited slip or lockable diff, you HAVE to put it on both wheels. Otherwise it is likely the power will just go to the wheel without the winch. And if your vehicle is really stuck, this will put strain on the driveline. There is a reason winches and tow ropes are attached directly to the frame!

      Wouldn't say better, but it works and cheaper than a winch. The main difference is that a winch works in the center of the vehicle.

    I used a home built version of this for year. it works well if you know what your doing. as far as bad angle a block and tackle hooked to pull point could get me out of anything I run across(especially if attached to bumper can pull front or back end the direction you want) these were modified trucks not plastic bumper suv's with aluminum wheels. as far as open diffs. one on each side will be what you need. the way they doing it on video I wouldn't do except in extreme situations. if you wanna go forward why not put them on front wheels? that's what I did

      As u can see the diameter of the winch is much smaller than the wheel so as soon as the wheel stops spinning/ starts to grip then the tension on the cable loosen. Physics, just physics.

    Good idea. The only downside I can see is that the "anchor point" that you attach the other end to has to be fairly in line with the vehicle or the cable may just run off the take-up reel at the wheel. But hard-core off roaders always have a trick or two up their sleeve to handle such contingencies!

    I was thinking the same - "why hasn't anyone thought of this before?" Then, after breaking it down in terms of functionality, I realized that I've seen a similar concept with the arabs in the desert, when they bury a sandbag in the ground and attach it to one of the wheels by a rope. Either way, the simplicity is just amazing.
