[QUOTE="MarkT, post: 85938, member: 3007"] Great points. Absolutely! I agree. It does depend on where you live and where you are driving but in my experiences winches are not that useful while "come-a-longs" are very useful. I've seen several instances where someone had a winch and couldn't use it... a lot of the times when someone is stuck it's because they've gone off the trail sideways. it's really hard to use a bumper mounted winch effectively under those conditions... or any condition except a straight ahead pull. But again, under extreme conditions and maybe if you are traveling alone a winch would be a good idea... I just don't see myself getting into those situations with my Raptor. I know a lot of people with winches on their FJ's and not one that has really *needed* to use it. For most people a winch is just a lot of added weight that they'll never need to use. [/QUOTE]
