Help on signal peak.

Well I decided to take a last minute solo run up signal peak and now I’m on 3 wheels.
I’m going to try a recovery with my hi lift jack and a strap but if anyones in the neighborhood and feels like helping out I will forever be in debt.

I have good cell service but it’s signal peak so feel free to call or text

 

I think it’s time for a front locker and a winch

 

Where is Signal Peak?

 

Got this from a google search. Not sure if it’s the correct location though.

 

The pic I posted would make sense given the OP’s area code.

 

39.33315° N, 120.56820° W

Im between colfax and Truckee.

if I had another recovery strap I think I can make this work. Gonna hang out here and try to catch someone coming downhill

 

How'd you get stuck there and at that angle? Anyway, try jacking your driver side up with the high lift, stack rocks below your front driver tire, drop it, and then drive out.

 

stupidity and ego.

some dirt bikers gave me another tow strap, I think I have enough gear to spend the next hours using my hi lift as a come along.

 

I know the exact spot you are in and I wish I could help, but I can't due to early work engagement tomorrow.

Post here, tons of people that like to help:

 

For anyone that can help, OP is closer to Eagle Lakes Dr exit off the 80, here is the trial: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/signal-peak-4x4-trail?search=true

 

I’ve done that before when my 2nd gen didn’t have enough torque to get up a steep part. Luckily, I only had to get a few feet to get up. I kept it in drive to help me. I’ve done it since and had to get about 30 feet to get over the crest of a hill before it would be all down hill to the main road. That time I ran out of energy before some guys came to pull me.

After saying all that, Chris is right. Use your hi-lift to lift a tire (front driver or I would likely do the rear passenger) and put a large rock under it. Once you have traction on three tires you can drive right out.

 

I’m gonna hike out and try again tomorrow during daylight. If anyone feels like helping out please let me know

 

I got a ride to Truckee for the night and left the truck on the trail. Gonna try again tomorrow.

 

Dang I was gunna go there this weekend but ended up staying home cause I got sick from my daughter. I’d say stacking rocks would be your best bet, might take a while but you’ll get it. Hoping for the best tmrw man. There is also a technique to simulate having a locker, something like feathering the brake/gas pedal together makes the diff lock up and spin both tires. Maybe look up some YouTube videos. Just throwing out some suggestions to try tmrw.

 

I got meetings until 1pm today, you still need help I can come up, I have a winch

 

I'm near Tahoe City and get get out there around 11 if you still need help, PM me. Got a winch and some straps

 

We got the truck out!!

 

If anyone gets stuck shoot me a PM — I owe the forum a rescue.
