Lets hear your suggestions for a winch for a car trailer.

Just an idea here. For those of you who have winches permanently mounted, get a box fabricated for over the winch, which can be pinned in place with a few hairpins. Keeps the winch out of the weather when you aren't using it, and keeps debris out of it if you also haul other items (slabwood comes to mind). When you are going to go haul a vehicle, pull 4 pins and set the box off before you leave home.
