DIY Hand Crank Tow Winch ($35 Ebay winch mod)

I recently purchased a new truck (well, 15 yrs old but new to me) that is only 2 wheel drive. I do a lot of camping in places that are easy to get a vehicle stuck in so I've been thinking about this winch project for a while. I'll feel a lot better having this hand crank winch on hand. Let me know what you think of this project in the comments below!
