Went down to Tuttle Creek Kansas this last Saturday. My full size was following the tricked out Jeeps damn near everywhere! Thank goodness for gears and a locker!

 

that would make for a nicely balanced tire

 

Took my puny little 1500 and pulled out a Ram 2500 Cummins





And the only pic of it out of the ditch:


The guy wasn't so much stuck as his transmission had **** itself, he had no forward gears, and was backing out of a driveway and couldn't make the turn.

Oh, the tow hooks are those trucks are useless, they're too close to the bumper to get anything threw them....

My lil ole 360 had no trouble pulling him out, didn't even spin tire

Holy crap, I thought this was a different thread... oh well

 

Nice place for the rescue squad sign..

 

what were you trying to put through them. i doubt you would have had a problem putting a proper tow strap through them.

 

Have you seen those tow hooks? Not even a full inch from the bumper....

We didn't have any "proper" tow straps. All I had was a logging chain. It worked. And worked well...

 

that's what I was thinkin...

lol lousy dodge automatics...

and 3rd gen

 

that is probably because designers don't want people using chains to pull trucks out of a ditch. a chain snaps someone could get seriously injured. tow strap snaps you should be able to walk away to tow another day.

 

I'm still standing

If I snap that chain that something is WRONG... It's a beefy chain

And he wasn't buried in mud, just the usual Dodge O Matic crap transmission....

But I do realize the danger of pulling with a chain, I don't usually pull people out, just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Maybe I should get a tow strap though...

 

As purchased.
