I guess it is a way of either routing a winch cable back under or through the car to make use of the same winch both front and rear, but how would this work? Would you have 2 separate cables on the same spool (can’t see how this would work) or is there one cable and you either use it straight out the winch or rerouted to the other end somehow?
Yes, that's right. The winch on Robs is at the rear and the rope is threaded to the front I believe through a tube and the hook can't come back through the fairlead and / or is hooked on somewhere. Then at the rear you grab a loop of rope off the drum by hand and feed it through the rear fairlead and attach it to a tree or wotnot via a snatch block.
Rockwatt has this on his famous SJ "Zero". Have a read of his build thread on Difflock.

Its running hilux front axle with ARB,hydro steer, and other bits. The rear is a landcruiser axle with ARB and then 6.5.1 transfer box and 37" swampers
Running the same winch setup as Rob's and works really well just looking at adding a centre winch for next year for more technical sections.

Barneyzuki, it is and it isn't I suppose.
Still a good bit of kit for winch challenges!
