| Stuck Pictures Thought I'd start a post with stuck pictures.
This was on the way to a favorite surf spot this morning. you can read a little bit more at www.sandcruiser.com/blog
not a very fun "wheelin" trip, only about 15 feet of real mud. Unfortunately, those 15 feet were pretty bottomless, and I wasn't in 4wd when I hit it :(

| I had a 60" Hi-lift bend in that manner lifting a fullsize Chev pickup out of a snowy ditch. Came back to mostly normal when we were done. Always had a bit of a curve though... |

| if you look very very carefully, you can see the 9.0 in the blue boardbag w/ a red 6 foot-something on top of it. Inside. Cuz there's no rack.
Besides, a 9.0 fits *perfectly* from the dash to the rear hatch. Heck, a 9.2 would probably fit fine.
Great snow stuck. What the *hell* happened to that hilift? and to what were you winching.

I'm used to seeing then strapped to the roof or hangine out the back of a hatchback car. |

| Haha, Very cool man...gotta love cruiserheads who also surf..life altering hobbies.
I remember being so stuck in the rocks that 3 winches had trouble getting me out. I had to hi-lift the front end of my truck up and then let them winch me out of it. I torqued my rear drive shaft in half after it got a dent. |

| My 'stuck' pic is embarrassing. Picture Mtmn99, but with bald tires, out in the street in front of my house. After a couple ft of snow I tried to pull out my neighbor. She's a nurse and was trying to get to the hospital.

Great snow stuck. What the *hell* happened to that hilift? and to what were you winching. | A 9.2 fits fine in a 60. I got stuck on that back road from Negra to Junquillal a couple years back (got some pics but can't find em). Got pulled out by Tim and Jim in their red 40.
Pura vida! |
