Get the look of a discreet, professional, recovery system in an instant with Rough Country's Insta-Winch! This unique product gives you the look and feel of having a hidden winch solution on your vehicle without any of the added cost or capabilities of owning an actual winch.

Rough Country's Insta-Winch features a real Hawse Fairlead with magnetic backing that attaches to any metal surface for an instant upgrade. You can attach anywhere you want (except Aluminum F-150's) for instant winch gratification! The partial line and Clevis hook look so realistic, you’ll even be tempted to use it! But make no mistake…... you can't.

Let's face it, real winch systems cost several hundred dollars and require you to get your vehicle dirty to use them. UNACCEPTABLE! Rough Country's Insta-Winch gives you what you're really looking for - the look - making it the perfect product for pavement princesses, grocery getters, and concrete cowboys.

Does it look like a real winch? Kinda! Does it work like a real winch? Absolutely not! It’s not a recovery solution, it's a recovery illusion. Get the type of instant gratification that only you and your social media followers can truly appreciate and upgrade your rig with Rough Country’s Insta-Winch today!

My disdain for all things Rough Country is no secret, so there's a part of me that believes this could be real.

I LOL'd so hard at this. All the Bro Dozers runnin' 'round these parts with their Rough Country windshield banners are so berkeleying clean you'd think they got trailered to the mal wart where they congregate.

Second best April Fools I've seen today. Best goes to TFBTV with Mr short short James in tight jorts and shooting guns covered in warming astroglide.

Only related by being an April Fools' joke that I actually thought was funny, I got an email from the Electronic Frontier Foundation today with a headline about

"The Rising Costs of Explaining Bitcoin"

You laugh, but I'd almost guarantee someone will have this at SEMA (probably at AAPEX).

You'll need to log in to post.
