    I’m assuming it’s a second generation Taco and I hope it’s 4x4. If it’s 2wd then forget it and call a tow truck.
    If it’s a second gen 4x4 then put it in 4H and give it a couple try’s. In 4H you have limited slip engaged automatically both front and rear and you will have the best chance to get out of there. Sounds like you are not an experienced 4 wheeler. As such if you put it in 4 low it will be way too easy for you to spin the tires and bury it. Besides you need to get some momentum at the start to get to the top. You won’t get much momentum in 4L.
    I don’t under why you blew a tire. Spinning tires in mud shouldnt blow tires.
    Actually the more I think about it forget most of the advice given. Either get a friend to help out or get a tow it’s probabl the only way you’ll get out.

    I can't imagine 4 feet in one day, people that have that lake-effect snow must be pretty tough.

    Probably not wise to continue spinning tire with a flat anyways

    I was thinking 4lo and try to crawl out but your probably right spin the tires faster also will help clean them out some. I still think the best option is get somebody to help or a tow truck
