Come-along recovery w/ pics!

Went up steep trail..couldn't make it...went back down in reverse (no other options) and ended up hitting a tree. Couldn't go forward because tire was spinning and couldn't use my brothers truck because we couldn't get it by mine. It was a tight trail. Anyway...this is what we did...






We just winched it sideways. Worked very well...not sure how safe it was though.

And the damage...lol

That's a unique way to 'hug a tree'!

Sometimes getting unstuck, is just as fun as getting stuck.

Sometimes....it's not.

The part that kills me is that you've done more wheeling in that damn 2 wheel drive than I've done in my built "trail rig". I have got to find more time to wheel.

Yeah i was pinned against a tree. I first pulled the truck forward with a stump and a come-along. Then pulled it sideways.

I also got stuck here...

Dueler`s for 14 inch rims! Don`t go with much bigger tires, I think that 225-70r14 size is pretty cool on 2wd yoters. I see you have the rear-bumper delete mod, invaluable for 2wd wheelers...

A rear locker makes things `different`when driving in the snow. But they are worth it in terms of off-road driving.

How hard would it be to pick up a set of 15" rims for the rear, buy some inexpensive off road type tires and put them on the rims and then just swap them out when you go out to play?

Something like this might be what you need and it's inexpensive.

edit. I like this one better. I have these on my rig right now in 31's and love them. http://treadwright.com/Tires-235_75R15_OTR-P6.aspx
