I have the four ton one from eBay .... Works fine ... However so slow

Did you let your tyres down to about 15 lb to get more traction? I use 4 of those deflators that let the air out to a set amount (Can't remember their name at the mo) and I find that the Jimny can get out of most situations then. I use the handwinch too. Is old and slow but does the job and is not much weight to carry around. I have a good little 2 cylinder compressor that goes with me off-road too.

This is a good hand winch I've been told:

goo.gl/GoSM22

I bought one but luckily haven't needed to use it yet. It might not be great but for the price it's probably worth having in the boot
