This might just do the trick!

Mud Ladder

Mud:
There are lots of good times to be had in the mud, but very few involve rope, rubber, and two-by-fours. To get your slop-happy pig back on the tarmac, build a simple gadget called a mud ladder. You'll need to cut a two-by-four into ten 18-inch lengths; then line 'em up and drill holes near each end. Thread long ropes through, knotting the rope after each "rung" to form your ladder. "Put that under the drive wheel [the one that's spinning] and it'll dig you right out," Marv says. The tire will climb the ladder as the motion pushes it down to stable ground. If you're still stuck, entice a sexy passerby to join you in the mud until help arrives


I might just make one of these myself....

Or try this....

Savvy off-roaders carry a chunk of carpet or shop comfort pads rolled up somewhere in the rig. Jack the tire up, slide it underneath and …[/align]

… gas it gently. Once you're moving, keep moving and aim for hard-packed ground.[/align]

Might want to get a limited slip differential put in. I wouldn't use a locker since you tow with it.

Also I've just taken the floor mats out of my truck before and jammed them under the tires. Unless one is up off the ground that usually works.
