    I feel like everytime I see a winching operation go bad it's with jeep owners. It's sad that this is now my perception of nearly every jeep owner.... the single stack is pretty gay as well...

    Okay so the thing I would have done would be to dig it out before pulling it out. What would you guys have done if you were in the jeep?

    How much abuse can the truck which is pulling the vehicle in distress take? I see that guy yanking the shit out of his hitch can that screw something up?

    You'd think with all those ppl someone there would at least be smart enough to put together a decent plan for recovery. He deserved getting his axle ripped for letting him anyways.
