does anyone know where i can get a come a long? i feel like all there is in winches and thats not what im looking for.
thanks
well ive been playing in the mud lately in my terrible 4banger ford ranger with bald street tires and i always get stuck no matter what, so im either just gonna sell the truck or find a way to make it fun.Jacob ... what is it you are wanting to accomplish?
A "come-a-long" are inexpensive (cheap) and dangerous cable pullers that love to hurt the person operating them.
A "winch" commonly found mounted on the front of 4-wheel drive lifted trucks are used for decoration here in Arizona since most of them have never seen the any off-road use.
Another form of a come-along is a cable grip style ... I have used them many times to pull large rocks out of holes I created with my gold dredge.

i live in the heart of arizona (prescott) but there is really no tree's all there really is are bushes. i might sell it and invest into a bigger 4x4.The 2 posts above offer great advise. I too have used the Hi Lift jack with a great deal of success.
Depending upon your location in AZ a front winch may or may not be usable ... for example in the lower desert it's tough to get it anchored up to a cactus or sage brush. Up north there are plenty of trees to hook to.
You mentioned in a different post that you are not happy with your current truck ... so maybe trading it in for something with 4WD and better tires will help.
