And you just created a lever that halves the needed pull power
at the expense of twice the distance pull.

My response was obviously a jest intended to humorously point out to
Mr. "Jeepaholic" what a juvenile attitude he has. Apparently that
kind of subtle sarcasm is a bit above your grade level. I guess next
time I'll just start calling people idiots and worse, so as to better
fit in with the mindset of this newsgroup.

Ok. I will accept what you are telling me since you all seem to be so
certain. However I do not understand why this would be the case. It
would actually seem logical to expect the opposite. Think of a ten
speed bicycle. The bike is hardest to pedal when the chain is on the
smallest diameter gears. I would think it would be the same with a
winch. On the outer layers of cable you have a bit more diameter.

Ya no ----!
The guy wouldn't believe anyone when they told him that power locks
won't fit in the doors and now he refuses to believe everyone when we
explain he bought an ATV winch instead of a Jeep winch...
