I have been looking at the Ground Anchor for self recovery mostly on beach use,
They look like great idea but is another bulky item to carry inside an already cramped jeep jku.
they look simple design, to me basically a spade shovel with a upright arm attached to it and then a cantilever arm to attach to the winch.
I was thinking that since I already have a high lift jack, that it could be used as the cantilever arm and maybe just make a spade shovel with the upright arm to hook to the jack.
does anyone make something similar to this or has anyone made something like this

I am planning on using it on Assateague Island Maryland they only let about 145 vehicle on at a time for like 20 miles of beach. It could be a while before someone comes by depending on how far you go down
I bought one and yes it is a bit bulky and heavy to carry around all the time. As mentioned there are usually many others around in the summer so I don't carry it with me. However in the winter here, the beach is empty, so I carry it. Like the spare tire and winch, it has never been used. Some day when I am board, I will take it out and see if it really does work lol.
Don't hook into the rim.
Steel breaker bar (anything that you can use as a strong-back like the Hi-Lift)) long enough to reach from both sides of the tire. Then hook into the strong-back.
I have an 11,000lb Pullpal. It works. Yes its heavy, but when you need it you need it.
You can also use it to anchor yourself while pulling someone else out.
