indeed, ive only lifted the landy with it once, just to check that it worked, its much more of a puller than a lifter to me

They seem quite tricky to find, I got one on ebay recently after about three years of searching. It's a length of chain with hooks that clip back onto the chain, enabling you to make pretty much any length you need. They are heavy though - mine is currently stored in a small old ammunition box as a demonstration of density, it weighs a lot more than a box that size has any right to!

Or one of the 5 tonne ratchet straps. I double them up to make them 10 tonne SWL, and then use the ratchet to take up the slack.
NOTE: Not all of the ratchet straps available come with a label with the SWL on them, if you are going to use one for this purpose make sure A) it is new and B) it is rated.

I'm guessing you *could* use a pair of ratchet straps by themselves for recovery if you really had to.

you can just use lorry rachets but it is incredibaley slow. when my range rover was stuck over the side of a byway we used highlifts front and back to work it out and big ratchets to stop it sliping when re rigging
highlifts are king of offroad toys :)

What about the rope and wheel adaptor technique? Use the diff on the axle as a winch.
