MrW wanted to use the winch. The Jeep was dead in the water, he didn't want to snatch it and it would finally give him a chance to test it out as we never once needed it in all that water, which was a damn good thing as no sooner did MrW hit the switch for the winch and POINK one of the hydrolic hoses popped out of it's fitting. No winch, no power steering! Seems when the guy put the fitting on the hose he didn't have it on all the way it.

Here we were tooling around without a care in the world out in the middle of nowhere. We weren't worried We had a WINCH!! LOL!!
Would have been a LONG WET walk back to the main area to go for help if we had gotten ourselves stuck! But no worries, the mammoth hardly broke a sweat in all that.
