I don't know why this post is labeled as "no vanagon content" since my van
in the picture is a vanagon. I guess you wrote the subject header before
adding this query to me.

Uh, in front of my syncro is chained a 4,000lb portable Warn winch. I am
aired down to 14psi and am unable to climb the steep hill because of the
18+" of snow there. The winch is on the snow because, in the picture, there
is no tension on the winch cable.

The site he refers to is: http://www.sofcom.com.au/4WD/VW/VW.html
