    yeah that's why you're only option to get yourself unstuck is going in reverse, only way you're going forward in 2wd is if someone yanks you up.

    Air those tires down real low (12 psi) and dig, should be able to back out of it.

    Good thing you have that light bar.
    :bananadead:


    FWIW it doesn’t look that bad but it also sounds like you don’t have a lot of experience with recoveries. This will be a learning experience for you. A lot of good suggestions already, you should be able to get out with a little ingenuity.

    Just the rear 2, you can do all four for good measure but the rears are your drive wheels and those are gonna be what get you unstuck.

    This. Free the back two tires and you can get out in reverse.

    If you aren't moving and tires start spinning, STOP and dig more. If any of the frame is dug in under the truck, dig that out as well.

    And like mentioned before, if dirt is hard enough, Jack it up and put rocks or sticks under the tire.
    DON'T PUT ANY BODY PARTS UNDER THE TRUCK TO JACK IT UP OR WHILE IT IS IN THE AIR.

    Also once the rear end is out, fill in the holes before getting the front axle stuck in the same spot.

    Dig and air down as everyone else said. I will add that once you get on the road at 12psi, don't drive over 25-35mph until you air up again. good luck man. If I was still back there I'd get you out.
