    I was with my girlfriend this afternoon, checking a pipeline that runs through the back half of some land we just bought. I went through the first 1/4 mile of it in 4 Hi with no hangups, then the mud got really deep so I put in in 4 lo w/ ATRAC. All was well until I tried to turn around, at which point I got stuck!

    I tried the locker, with no success. I tried a hand-winch to a tree, which was an epic fail. What finally worked was putting a plank on the ground, using the crappy factory jack to jack up each tire then put a plank underneath.

    I know, I know...i'm a noob! flame on...

    btw...i blame the rugged fails! Cooper STT's will be replacing them this week.

    Yeah, I seriously doubt that would have happened if you had some tires that cleaned themselves better.
