Ok, maybe its not "the great" winch debate but it is something that I wonder about.
Why are there so few offroad vehicles with winches? I started this discussion on another thread, I didnt want to go off topic so it has its own thread now.
There are two threads going now that ask "if you had X amount of money to put into your Jeep, what would you buy". A winch never comes up. All kinds of suggestions such as gears, lockers, more lift, bumpers, etc., but no winch. Ive looked at the member pics. Lots of huge built up Jeeps and not even half have winches. Where in the list of priorities does a winch fall? It would seem pretty far down. That baffles me alittle because when someone new comes on here and asks what they should have, one of the first things mentioned is recovery gear, the next thing is proper tools. A winch can be both.
