I’ve always liked the idea of PTO winches. Here’s an interesting video showing how one works on a Land Cruiser FJ60.

This looks like a great trick for winching a truck that’s pinned against a tree or rock.
In a nutshell, here’s how it works. Turn the front wheels toward the object you’re pinned against. Take the slack out of the winch cable. Put the truck in reverse. It will pull against the cable and crab sideways away from the obstacle.
In the video, the guy reverses while winching forward, which I imagine only works in slippery conditions.
Has anyone tried this?
Here’s a very nicely equipped, relatively low mileage, 4×4 Isuzu Pickup that’s ready for any off-road adventure. It has a full exoskeleton and rack, Old Man Emu suspension, a winch, ARB locking differentials, and brake and transfer case upgrades. Very nice. It even has a 5-speed, a rare find in “recent” off-road vehicles.
The seller is doing an interesting thing by offering the truck for a variable price of $5,000 – $9,000, depending on how much of the equipment you’d like to leave on the truck with the purchase. If you’d like it all, hurry before he parts it out. You could never build this truck for the asking price.
