No vehicle will keep from getting stuck if it just hangs up. As far as falling into ruts (which i know all about) goes only way to fix that is more ground clearance which means lift and bigger tires. If you dont plan on bigger tires and use your truck like this a lot a locker front and back might be a good option for you.
might try going faster, its a lot harder to get stuck
haha wow man... i did that once in high school i still have the truck tho its a 84 blazer lifted on 44s everyone was getting stuck in this one hole..i even got stuck about 4 time hitting it at 10-30mph the mud hole was about 30 feet long 14-16 feet wide and about 4 deep of clay mud.. i hit the hole doing a soild 50mph and broke a steering knuckle and bent my tie rods and stabilizer lol....
Considering this is my first post I received so many responses I can see I will get a lot of help here and eventually contribute. I think first of the year I will likely try to hunt down a used warn winch and hopefully a bumper too.
Check Craigslist, I have a buddy just picked up about a four year old, very seldom used Warn M8000 for his Jeep Wrangler for $325. When we were installing it, the most I could find wrong with it was a bit of faded paint from the sun.
Another good source would be Jeep and off-road specific forums, but the problem there is if it's not local, shipping is stupid high on a 70-100 lb. winch...
