Alex,
Another excellent photo essay on your long summer trip. The part with the winch was a hoot: "I can't open the door!" I've only been in that situation a couple dozen times during my Jeep Dayz. I'm glad to see your home made winch cradle worked out without going south. It takes a lot to snap a 1/2 inch wire rope on it's first pull. What's that? 30K pound test?
When I get in that position, I'm always on the hunt like a point dog for something to winch on or anchor that's in front of me, not behind me. A buddy had two winches on his Jeep. One 9K pound winch in front and a compact 6K pound winch behind. It was always an easier extraction to pull the way you came if further forward progress could not be made.
