A winch will get you out of anything when all else has failed. When I had my first Land Rover, I bought a rear locker first - then found myself stuck on a Forrest track. I was about 30 miles from any help and it was before mobile phones. I spent 24 hours digging myself out and constructing a bridge out of logs. The next day, I bought a winch, which would have got me out in half an hour tops. Since then, I've always had a winch on my vehicle.

Thanks for your opinions guys. This is what i was thinking about as to when i would need a winch. Stuck in the middle of the sticks miles from help. I surpose if i just go to pay and plays then the diff locker would come first, but i also enjoy greenlaning so realy the winch should come first?
Ok winch first then.

So opinions on both are welcome.
