If you can only make forward progress through the use of a winch (or strapped to another rig) then you did not make the obstacle. If you have to strap or winch to something to keep from flipping, but are still moving forward under the power of your wheels, then I would still call it 'making' the obstacle.

But i can also see the point of you modified your rig with a winch, so why is that any more cheating that driving over it? you modified those axles, and tires, and suspension, so why not include the winch along in the 'capabilities' of the vehicle?
