Get a spare rim that fits your truck remove the tire then when you need a winch you have a cheap capstan winch.
Jack up one rear wheel, block the truck, remove the tire then install your rim, put the truck in gear wrap a rope around the empty rim acting as a capstan.
The nice thing about a capstan winch is that it will not pull until you exert pressure on the line, you release the line the winch stops pulling you have full control of a capstan winch.
I used a rim on the truck as a capstan whinch to get shake blocks moved up from steep ravines.
Using your vehicle as a capstan winch will not work if you have a posi of limited slip differential.
Here is a capstan winch attachment for a chainsaw.
