    Yeah, there's flat areas in front of my truck and up the hill past it where there's trees to winch up, and this weekend is supposed to be sunny so ideally it woukd be dry or somewhat dry.

    If I can get my truck to where the dodge is then I can at least drive it when it dries up

    Wouldn't the ideal situation with this be multiple trucks with winches hooked up in line.

    Find the flattest driest spot for the top vehicle. One rolls down hooked up, next one until they can safely reach with 1-2 winches hooked to stuck vehicle. Dig out, slowly pull from both vehicles hooked.

    That's kind of what I'm picturing.

    This definately appears to be a 2, 3 or 4 truck approach, if the surrounding area is slick and there is nothing to anchor to within a close reach of the stuck vehicle. The actual recovery truck(s) will need an additional truck(s) to anchor off of.

    Looks like you might even be able to have someone come down the side where it is dry. But this could potentially be against the code of tread lightly.

    It's too steep of a hill. It would start smoking and blow the motor.

    Can an open diffs truck get to the flat areas up the hill? I got a good winch and might be able to go with @rob1208 and @CrashN'Burn to help with the recovery tomorrow if I can make it unlocked to that point.

    Before I broke down I was able to go up the hill a couple times. Id say mud tires and a lift definitely help tho.

    I think you’ll be fine. The main trail is easy. Just depends on how bad the mud got. Use to drive around there in my stock truck.

    If it's hella wet bc of the rain then no, but if it's dry enough then yes
    If it's dry enough yes, if it super wet and muddy you can be the guy we use as an anchor at the top of the hill
