One thing I noticed looking at these. They all seem to use 100' of cable. My
8274 Warn has 150' and sometimes that wasn't quite enough. Once it took all
that plus two tow-chains to reach a landcruiser that was WAY out in some
soft stuff. It wasn't a hard pull, just a LONG reach.

Mike might know this....
The Canadian military in Afgh and Iraq are using some weird named thing that
looks like a jeep.

I swear it's got the protection of a moped! I mean...there's light
armor....then there's the cardboard that this thing has.
Looks like they'll become surplus soon enough....interesting trail
vehicle....and probably falls in to your "real jeep" category! ;)
