Hi gang,
Way back in the 80's, when I had my '76 FJ40 w 8000 lb Warn, I used to 4-wheel often.
With the winch, pulling forward to get unstuck was usually fairly simple. But then there were those times when the only way out was backwards (reverse). I recall the difficulty. Snapped cables, etc.
So, lets say you are off by yourself. You get stuck. Impossible to go forward. And she's not going anywhere in reverse either. Reverse is the way out. If you could only back up just 10-20 ft, you'd be unstuck....
How? What are a few of the techniques you have used? What are the pros and cons? Safety? Equipment req'd?
Thanks,
Bruce in Tsawwassen
