How "NOT" to pull a truck out of the mud

that shizz was FOUL!!!


a hard crust but once you break through it it is just nasty...i was in a friends old yota and we were put on some backroad trails and we broke through some stuff like that in some oil fields...luckily we were going slow and as soon as the front tyres dropped about 2 foot we stopped and got outta there real quick

 

Open diffs lead to many headaches. Notice the ford had open diffs as well......

 

Good call. I had a shackle come through the rear window one time, fortunately it stopped short of hitting me. It was a sobering wake-up call.

And as for the other comment, at that angle (at the end) it seems like he was trying to get the Jeep out by towing it through the bank, not up it!

Unfortunately some people think that brute force (and a diesel truck) are a suitable substitute for common sense. You could have recovered that vehicle with a truck half that size if you knew what you were doing.

 

yea seen this one acouple times now.. i hope people realize that there does come a time that it is ok to just call a tow truck. might have been a $200 bill for it but sure beats the heck out of ruining your rig....

 

I'm thinking the guy with the small peni...sorry, large truck, wouldn't have wanted to be upstaged by someone in a tow truck! You know, bravado and all that.
