Stuck!

I have put up some crazy photo's lately. Here are some more from today at work. My supervisor got his 3500 Dodge diesel stuck in a canyon and the Bronco had to save the day! Took a few good tugs but I finally got it out!

It was stuck deep in a rut.

I chained it to my front tow hook.

As you can see I chained up my rear tires for added traction.

nice save, but

You should only pull forward... pulling in reverse puts alot of stress and strain on the gears... not good

Also... chain is BAAAD for pulling, go get a nice big strap

i suggest you invest in a nice tow strap. they are much easier on your rig and do a far better job of yanking someone out vs the chain. not to mention i have seen a few chains break in my day and watch them go right thru the windshield. not a good thing at all.

awesome pics though.

Yeah, I need another tow strap. I actually snaped it so I just had the chain. I had tried a few times to turn my bronco around so I was pulling with gears and not a reverse band but everytime I tried I would just slide even with the rear tires chained. I am very ready for Spring!
