Pics don't work...

This is why locking differentials and winches are useful //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Apparently tags on this board don't recognize FTP links. Copying and pasting works.

I repeat my previous comments, front and rear lockers and a Warn will drag you out of 99% of anything. The other 1%...well, you shouldn't have gone there in the first place...

tomorrow i have to dig it out with a shovel (it will take about 3 hours or more) It is at the bottom of a step hill so anything that i have pulling my has to be on the top of the hill. to get a tow truck to pull me out is $300

I have went down their before , but i could not get up the muddy hill so i was parked at the bottom in a foot of mud, so i could get some stuff to put under the tires and when i got back i truck was sunk in the mud cant go nowhere

Haha, I get my work truck stuck all the time. But its really heavy so it sinks up in mud real nice. As far as my personal vehicle I have a Jeep GC with Quadra Drive II 4x4 system in it, So i dont have to worry about mud with it.

You should have known useing that long of a chain and rope was a bad idea, those chains can kill someone when they give

a lot of people do man. i love to, but i hate to clean it up. i was under my truck with a pressure washer for a couple hours one day. the clean up sucks.

as far as getting stuck, i would reccomend all off-roaders that are somewhat serious about it to use air lockers, best investment ever on a 4WD. also if you are really serious, a winch is mighty important as well.
