Fantastic story! I know this has been mentioned several times. Not trying to rub it in further at all. I'm just wondering if a winch would have made a difference? I relatively inexperienced off-road and am considering adding one soon. Also, do you have locking differentials?
What a great story. And at least this didn't happen to you around this time last month....or you would of got to do all that fun stuff in about -30 degree weather
Learn how to drive (off-road) first. Best recovery device is the knowledge and experience to avoid getting stuck in the first place.ps40-2 said:

good thing about the Pineys ( jersey rednecks) is that they are very resourceful. I once picked up a guy walking down road in the pine barrens, like 10 miles form the nearest paved road, cradling a shotgun in his arms. said he didnt "need no drivin' license" cause he could walk to the store ( i was afraid to ask where he was walkinf from) gave him a ride to the WA-WA, and we soent the next few hours popping cans with his .22 and he bought the beer.
Glad you made it out.

I rode on the back standing up. Froze my tits off.
These guys were great. The kind of men you would go into battle with.

great story.... looks like it was a PITA to get it unstuck.
I took my FJ60 into about 2 feet of unpacked snow this weekend in South Lake Tahoe with full tire pressure and in 4WD LO. I was lucky to get thru the section and can imagine what you went thru being 5+ miles off the main road.

Very nice, thanks for the story. Here’s a link to another funny one. No Cruiser content though.

Rideing along avoiding mud holes beins she only got 31s and 3 inch lift. rideing threw some virgin snow then o shyt front end droped two feet befor i could hit brakes whole jeep in a mudhole up to the bottom of the doors. Just the right size to eat a jeep. 6hours latter and frozen frozen friends showed up with a bronco i hate FORDS!
