So you're in the middle of the woods with no winch...

Well, it worked.

Yep. You can do it with a strap too.

 

Just locked that one in the ole memory bank. Nice!!

 

Alright, that's pretty ingenious. I'm storing this one away as well

 

It worked, but wouldn't of taken much to twist that strap and that board take out the bedside. It only worked because the ground was flat, put that tire in a rut and that board is turning into a thousand splinters.

 

Nonetheless it worked. It's good information to have if you're ever out stranded. If you're out in the middle of nowhere by yourself and can't get ahold of anything you'll normally do whatever it takes to get out of there, or atleast I would. That board I don't think would turn as easily as you think.
Is this the best thing to do if you're stuck in a mud pit rut? Nope. But it's still good knowledge to have in the back of your head!

 

Could throw a couple of these in the truck

 

Hmmmm looks legit

 

That tundra should had lead with 4x4 and not wasted the time with Trac grabbers. But then I guess that wouldn't make for good marketing

 

Im wondering if these are generally not used for a reason or if people on here have any experience with them working. I got a 4x2 so in theory it seems like a good insurance policy and light weight

 

Sure, if you're desperate and unprepared, use it. I personally would not, but I would not be unprepared.
That Trac grabber is much safer, and if your rims allowed looks to work.

 

Most of us on here will be prepared 90% of the time, but for the times we aren't it's always good to have a backup plan if need be.

 

hmm, those are interesting. Could be a cheap alternative for some people?

 

My first thought too lolo!

 

Good to know.

 

LOL A guy here at work just saw this and said (dude thats stupid)

I told him (it's stupid if it works!)

Good Idea!

 

Judging from the title I'm glad this didn't end with "and woke up with a sore butthole".
