Wth... Your family should have been straight hand fead with Silver Spoons then. It's a shame that money and ideas were so much harder, back in The Day, to monopolize on and be discovered. Such poor networking. Mmm
I like the fact that the factory wheel nuts are changed permanently so the winch drum can be slotted into position when needed. Good twist on an old theme
Haha, yeah. Just like the "Clapper" they sell on infomercials. Its probably been around since the days of Edison, but each time a new generation sees it, its the coolest thing ever.
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.
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.
Great idea . We had permanent fitted ones on our Landrover front wheels in 1965 but we sometimes hit stones and tree stumps with them. It’s better if they are quickly removable like these.
we built a device like this in the military back in Desert Storm because of the "quicksand" events during the rainy season. Not new but, a damn good product!
Big hello from America! Nice idea I love it many years ago when people were a lot more enginuitive in the states people would run saw mills ect. off of there truck or tractor axle. You have a great idea i love it.
simple quick and easy to use I made one for my holden panel van years ago the difference was my one was part of the rim permanently and for rope I used 50 feet of 5t sling from a surplus supply I could camping anywhere she was a great ol van 1973 HQ with a 173 LC motor and 3 speed speco floor shift wish I still had her.
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?
Yes it's actually an old method used in the military even during the war but now with a modern approach, some vehicles then had a small capstain permanently fitted to the wheel hubs.
I’ve used a similar trick before when stuck,only I wrapped the rope around my tire. Also can be useful to lock a wheel when you need drive to the other side,but do not have a diff lock. - you do what you gotta do when you’re out in the back country!🤣🏴
I've had same idea about 10 years ago. And some even craziest: to stop a car for the half of the today's stop path (submitted idea to Ford,GM and Bosch Automotive branch), and Stress driving control ( car will not allow you to drive more than 30Mph if you under stress).
saw "Bush Winch" and immediately thought it was a clip from the show "Bush Mechanics" with the Aboriginal fellas in the Northern Territory. Bloody ingenious bit of kit anyway.
More than once I have simply taken an old fire hose, tie one end around the rim of my tractor and the other end around a tree. Drop it in low gear and as the tire rotates, the hose is pulled taught getting my tractor free of the swamp.
@@Tankerpaul223 As a fireman, I van say I haven't seen one break when used for pulling, I've seen them break on the fireground when under pressure and when they get burned, but I have used them to pull everything from a 4 wheeler to a 2,000 gallon tanker (with water drained) that was stuck. My guess is that they didn't want to have people hassling them for their used hose. My dept keeps all our trash hose for me to take home.
The geeral method is proven, quite old, and is used to recover armored fighting vehicles such as the M113 APC. If you play in sand, use a ground anchor of your choice.
Very cool. This has given me an idea for an even better version which is about 5 times smaller and weighs 6.5 times less and has no need for a coiled cable. Thank yew
they provide mounting and use for all drives of vehicles on their website, so anyone who thinks they know to mount and use it without first reading instructions only too look like idiot are their own fools for not reading instructions first even briefly let alone fully using their lack of common sense
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.
Its a VERY good version of an old idea but it pre-supposes that your engine is still running and that nobody has destroyed anything between the flywheel / torque converter and the road wheels...Many pros and cons to both a winch proper and this system
yeah both type of winches have their negative and positives, the common "bumper" or drum winch is more versatile than this but electric has its limits before something overheat or breaks in the power system, and same for this with the vehicle being the power system also, its only useful for self recovery
+Biggest 23 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.
I'm running a hydraulic winch that uses the power steering pump from the engine. No tiny motor, no overheating, no battery drain, draws 2 amps max for valve solenoid. I'll never go back to an electric.
If the price is less than a decent electric or hydraulic winch usung the car's electric or hydraulic output, then I wouldn't mind getting out to attach those pulleys. Very ingenious! Actually I've wanted to have pulleys like this to connect the drive wheels to the undriven wheels for a Poor Man's Four Wheel Drive. Sprockets with toothed belts would unstick most drivers with no need to connect to trees or land anchors, at least in the city!
@@johnw2026 aye but at first ya will need a lot of effort to dig the wheel and make enough room to put that thing on 😏 this thing is just a waste of time ig

I am no expert but using another rim off-the-shelf I can see a few issues with this, one being the offset of and the overall design to that of what is on your vehicle not allowing for the bolts to get enough grab through the second outside rim. secondly the rims tire mounting profile, thus why this system is designed the way it is with its permanent wheel nuts on the driven vehicle
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!
This is an awsome design. My only thought though is what if you don't have a locking diff? With an LSD or open diff, it will ether not work, or damage the diff.
I have an 8mm movie of my father using the same wheel winch system on an army jeep when he was at Camp Croft SC in the early 1940's - before going to Europe.
It was available before in a different but similar application. We used in the US Army on the old 1/4 ton jeeps a rod thru the wheel hub to which a rope/chain could be added and it would wrap around helping recovery.
@@AN-kg4ei I couldn’t find pictures online, but I still have my Army drivers manual with diagrams of different self recovery methods. I could take pictures.
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
If you have a proper 4x4 meant for places that could get you stuck/needing a winch, then you probably already made the smart choice of buying a real winch.
You did notice they fit them on both side of vehicle in several situations?! ... the other side unit took the load first ... but don’t let that distract you from being brilliant! 🙄
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.
I don't go off roading, but damn this should be a must have in your vehicle for just in case moments just like med kits and such. Luck favors the prepared.
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!
Looks cool. My only worry would be 'birdsnesting' the reel. If something was to push the rope sideways (rock, trees etc) or if the vehicle lunged forward and the rope went slack for a bit it might come off the spool and get in a mess
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.

Pedro Torres Would you say this works better compared to a winch? I'm genuinely curious.
thatguymax 94 this is a winch.
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.
Pedro Torres It might not be in the middle, but being able to pull in 2 directions has its benefits
EJW1 the set seems to have two pulleys. Effectively the pull applies to the middle if both used.
