    I can't make it this weekend. Got some scheduling promises that I have to keep with my daughters.

    Gotta stay nice this holiday season. Or my gifts might not show up :santa:

    Need to change my oil. Wanted to change it before this trip. But it's supposed to be cold and shitty this week. So I'll probably change it next Sunday weather depending.

    Fun times.

    So truck was there. All 4 tires off the concrete road covered in snow

    Decided to air down.

    Really wanted winch at this point, I knew I wasn't getting out.

    Should have got a pic of truck off the road.

    Was still able to rock truck front to back.

    Stacked some rocks bear handed in the snow, thinking of @Subway4X4 the whole time, knowing I'm not getting out with out help. image.jpgimage.jpg
    Got the front out

    Rode the frame and front tires 25yrds until the shoulder came up. image.jpg
    front tire tracks image.jpg

    Truck is just on an angle here.

    Minimal damage, and I really can't believe I got out. Truck was 35 dregrees totaly off the road.

    Happy wheeling.

    I was close to home so I wasn't to worried.

    I'm a little shocked I was able to get out.

    At any point did you try crawl control? Not that it would have got you out just interested if you tried it.

    You know what I did. It seemed to work pretty well. Maybe better if I knew how to use to.
    Although it didn't get me back on the road. I'm sure it could have after I got in position and stacked rocks but I just used momentum to get the front up.

    Used crawl to come down the hill after I got out. 4in of snow on top of concrete with a 90degree turn and a steep slope. Didn't touch breaks was great. Like glue.

    4 lo I was sliding the whole way.

    Glad you got out.

    If you had gloves, you probably could've stacked more rocks.

    If you could find them under the snow.

    I would've gone your route of self recovery (with gloves of course.)

    Hi-Lift recovery always scares me.

    I is good to hear some real world experience of crawl control use. Glad you made it out with minimal damage :transformer:

    I agree. You can't get enough good experience without using the damn thing first hand.

    I got many years of HiLift use under my belt.

    Still scares the hell out of me.

    Hi lift Jack's, table saws and chain saws. All very powerful tools that should scare you every time you pick them up.

    Is this a case where we don't ask how you ended up there?

    Nice work getting out without an assist.
