    Sounds like a good excuse to have a couple beers..been their twice this year....back up at an old school house to get an aluminum boat out of a teee line and she sunk up to the axels, 6 times i made a mess of that yard, glad it was my moms place and not a costomers. 6500lbs truck. 2nd time this spring backing up to pull a mangled camper out of a tree line, back up a truck length to far and she sunk up to the axels, I really need to get my front shaft fixed and the new winch on the trailer

    I put the coupon code in your strikes again thread, page 7 or 8.
    1st question, no comealongs? I've done it using the comealong to work the truck back and forth so I could build up under the wheels. all you have to pull is 6in so you can get a rock under it, then pull 6 in back to get a rock under the front side of the tire and repeat.
    2nd


    why didn't you have one of these?

    or one of these?

    That wheel winch sounds cool but I bet a 12k hf winch and material to build a winch bumper would be cheaper and easier to easy.
