Stump removal? No problem!
Ok, so you can probably tell from the pics below that I just removed a bush, not an actual stump. In my defense, the bush was 1: about 6'x2'x3' (large) 2: live, meaning the roots were still grabbing onto soil 3: oak, which is a PITA to remove anyway, even with a full sled dog team and a fresh moose as bait. Anyway, this was my first "work" that I made my jeep do, so I wanted to show it off to all my new friends and fellows.
Hello unmovable live oak bush
Bush, meet JKU
Go JKU Go!
Goodbye removed live (dead) oak bush!
So in this spirit, if ya got some good action shots of your rig working, show 'em off!

Yeah I was afraid that would happen to me too, and then tension would cause the ratchet to slindshot through my back window. Luckily I had no issues though.

Ouch! Yeah, you're right, dumb is dumb. I knew better but its what I had available at the time. On my behalf it was rated to 1000lbs and I let the jeep pull forward at idle in 4wd to do the pull....
