This is Rob from the ORA's Jimny Buggy winch -
The rear winch is actually mainly used to the front through a tube that ends up at a donut fairlead on the front -
And to winch backwards they take a loop off the drum and out of the fairlead and round a snatch block...
Very effective example on this YouTube video -

The underdog often starts the fight, and occasionally the upper dog deserves to win - Edgar Watson Howe.

More piccies of it in action as promised:
As you can see, you just grab a loop of rope from the top and run it through the fairlead to a snatch block and to the tree strop.
Rob uses Toyota axles though!

The location of the winch is pretty clever. As I see it, there is one major design flaw. The winch is mainly for winching forward, but the winch is mounted feet-backwards. Meaning the only thing holding the winch is the 6 mounting bolts. Not good enough.
