With either my bronco2, my 2.5 ton chevy, my 04 4x4 chevy halfton, or good ol' wits and redneck ingenuity. If I don't feel comfortable getting close enough to winch etc, which I will get thru most anything, I have a 3 ton chain hoist, several comealongs, chains, straps(lifting rated straps, I have a wall covered with them, 4 or 500 ft worth), or cables, I have a pile of 40 ft 5/8 cables, 20 ft. 1 in.'ers, 1.25 inchers, etc. I know what it feels like to feel helpless, and I don't mind lending a helping hand. And yes I'm the crane operator. I know how to rig, where to rig, what will work, what won't, and what might work. I had so much experience getting my corolla out when it was on 33's 2wd using comealongs etc, I don't thing anything could get worse. I only ask for patience sometimes, because I don't have a work schedule per say. I work pretty much everyday, but its when the customer calls, I go. The job could be a 1 hr job that takes 3 days, and If I break my own stuff getting you out, I don't expect help to repair or replace, just help me like I'm helping you, to get home for another 4x4 or a trailer or something. And I will suggest where to hook onto your rig for a specific recovery procedure, but where you hook it is your responsibility, If something on your rig breaks, its your responsibility for repairs. Know that I will NEVER yank, hit, or any other abusive method people use. I might use a stretch and snatch, but nothing harsh. I'm sure if I can hook one of my 4x4s up on dry ground( I usually have enough strap to get there), and can hook my milemarker with a snatch block onto a tree, and pull with my ride, and the winch. Something is going to move. And yes Romer Its a 302 in my B2. I am working on the exo-cage right now, I'm about to go hit it right now. Yea, cigar. That sounds like fun. My sister and law owned that car lot that runs thru town. She moved to tenn. I like new trails though. Oh and if your stuck on private land, I better have permission from the owner to help, or if its in a city drainage ditch or something, I want permission for being there. Cause I've been there and done that.
