I'm thinking there's some tough love in that family!

good thing about using it as a dog leash is thats its out front and you won't forget about it in the morning.

Well, I have pulled down trees with mine, skidded logs, moved my hovercraft with it, used it to pull my MAX IV around (while repairing it), used my rear winch to bend my OR FAB tire carrier back into shape (oops), and, oh yeah, pulled myself out too! Soon I'll try making a small crane that will attach to the Jeep's front and use the winch to lift logs up. (I'm going to search for the Pioneering for Vehicle Winches book).

We used a friends JK and winch to lower a large gun safe down a fight of stairs for our shop. I didn't have my winch yet.
