Hi all, after deciding that winching with a hi-lift would be the best option for me I elected to make up my own kit (vs buying the $180+ genuine Hi-Lift Off Road Kit). I haven't tallied it all up, but I'd say it came in under $100 for the chain, shackles and other metal bits bought from a local lifting/rigging company, and that is for all the chain (the genuine item still requires the purchase of chain).
Some pics attached, have tried it out and the effort is not too bad - a lot more than using an electric winch, but as I tend to avoid trouble it's the right solution for me in terms of cost, weight and versatility.
