I have a receptacle hitch on the front of my Gladiator under my winch. I put a cargo carrier on the front bumper while hunting and use the winch to ease 200 lb or larger animals up on the carrier. At age 68 , I do not pick up large dead animals anymore
My biggest regret when I bought my truck was getting 2x4. Got stuck this week in South Georgia on that nasty red clay and started preparing a list of recovery items to purchase. Thankfully we had another truck with us that got us out. A hitch winch is #1 on my list for those solo trips! Thank you for this video!!
Happy Easter. I used to have a winch in a basket for my grand Cherokee. Then I got the hidden winch . I have front and rear winches on my Jeep JK . But over the years find it’s just easier to just have front winch and use snatch blocks and the rings to do a reverse winch from behind using an anchor point. My warn winches have been on my Jeep since 2007 and no problem with water intrusion. Great video my friend
I believe if I were to keep a vehicle longer than 2 years I would invest in a front winch and bumper and heavier springs. I believe its still the best way. But for my short term ownership of vehicles this checks all the boxes. and this is easy to lend to a friend for thier vehicle or to take in different vehicles. So its a great set up. But I still believe if you are gonna get stuck often a front permanent mounted winch is the best way to go.
I'm not winching from the front. 9 times out of 10 I want to go backwards rather than forward down here in the swamp. A back winch is more valuable in the swamp than the front. Although I'd love to have a winch on the front too. Given the choice I'd prefer the back winch

That sounds like a fantastic set up

Good video! I have a Harbor freight winch 12,000. What size cable should I buy for a long bed truck?
Good video, what kind of tonneau cover do you have?
oerdo. from amazon for 150 bucks. Have these on both my trucks. love them
Good video. How are you winching from the front? Just put a hook on the thing and let it suspend in the air?

What do you estimate the weight of the winch and cradle (together) is?
including the 30 foot cables 90 pounds. That winch cradle and bag full of cables, tree saver, etc.
@@SamkoTradBow100 pounds
Hummm always seems like $500 will solve a lot of problems.
