As they say, "In these difficult times..." so often, a great winch can be had for cheap. Great price! Don't forget your winch accessories - gloves, dead weight, snatch block, etc.

What's a dead weight? (are you talking about my buddy Robert?), I'll be using synthetic rope, so no gloves, but I could use a snatch block.

Synthetic rope is always better, much stronger, and also safer for everyone involved in the recovery effort. Dead weight as in a Pull-Pal? Don't forget to get a tree-strap. With all of the rocks in Baja, you could use one around a large boulder, or perhaps just get a good tow strap from Pro-Comp with the leather ends.
