    Dig down to solid ground. I used a small bottle jack on a small piece of wood. Placed under the axle for the most tire lift, then filled hole.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    I've been where he is, it's already not a very busy county, and State route 97 which is the closest to him might have two people pass on a day like this

    Pull the Emergency brake out (5) clicks , this will make the rear axle act like a spool and allow 100% traction to both rear wheels

    if you don't have gear to spend the night but have cell service you can call the Sheriff's dept to get search and rescue. Their 4x4 group will pull you out.
    What tools do you have? ax? shovel? if you're high centered dig all the snow out under the truck. Or cut some wood and put it under the jack.
    if you think you're going to die my GF can drive my truck because I've been drinking. it is iso-laysh season after all.

    What are your plans if help doesn't come?

    How was the road from the highway to where you are? I don't wanna get stuck and be in the same situation as you.
