    Hardcore off road floor mats!
    Not your typical recovery job. Got stuck in a 'rut'. Wheels had no traction for being in the air a bit. Tried the old sea-saw maneuver, nope not gonna happen. RECOVERY TIME! But wait, I'm all by myself out here! Ohhh nooo! I knew I should brought a friend.

    Had to emprifise... Walked like a whole 100 feet (round trip) for the recovery strap & another 10 ft to the closest vehicle. No idea whos it was, but their lose for not locking it up...

    So, i went back to my vehicle. Put the strap around the mass & hooked it to the recovery vehicle. Released the E-brake, tightened up the strap and started to pull. Couple seconds later, BAM! It was out of the rut & ghost riding. Job well done! Now for a beer.... Once I get off work.


    A single picture was taken during the recovery operation... :anonymous:

    Literally all other brands are either cheap pieces of shit or overpriced pieces of shit.

    There can be only one.
