Have heard a rumor from a friend that people have got hold of winch remotes both legitimatly and by theft etc and are spooling out cable over roof of vechicle attaching to rear crossmembers/towhitchs and seting winch to wind in effect crushing roof in half.
has anyone heard about this ?

was a HUGE problem in oz & some english t1ts started doin it so incase it started to spread up here we have a huge master switch fitted
btw how they did it was-free spool winch over roof of motor & atach to rear x member,then get a bit o wire & stick in the winch socket to short out the wind in connection then just donder off as it chops down through the motor,dont need a remote to do it

dont know much about winches but wouldnt it burn out the motor ?
I know it would probably be enougth to crush roof in but where would it stop?

nope,goes down therough the motor like cheese wire till it breaks the casings or breaks the drumm off,remember how much force the winch can pull & ur landy is only soft ally,this was in the comics ages ago & its been quite for a while

You are allowed to do exactly as you please, there's just consequences to being caught. Mess with my truck and your in bother!
Wanderer:
If you use a remote switch to cut the power to the winch (under the bonnet) and take the tension up so that the rope is tight (not too tight) enough to stop the lever from being moved allowing it to spool out.
They were using paper clips. There's no current passed across the switch. It all goes across the solenoids.

I caught a hoodie doin his best trying to pull the winchwire across the road on the hybrid he had actually attached it to the trees oposite my drive and was trying to figure out how to lock it off.
after a brief lesson in adjusting his focus on the fairlead and giving some remedial cranial therapy he gave me a lesson on how to run like linford christie
