So a first time introduction and ask for any help/advice is kind of classless, but here I am.
My son was helping a friend scout out some land this weekend and ended up stuck very bad. He did try to winch himself out, but the winch line broke…this isn’t a one winch job anyways. I got up this morning and installed new front control arms on my 80 (since I had a broken one) and drove over from Atlanta in my 80 to deliver new winch line and add my winch to the mix. We had zero luck getting him out and eventually got tired of working in the dark so we drove back to Meridian where I am staying the night.
Anyone local that can think of any ideas of how to get his truck out would be much appreciated. He has school, practice and lifting tomorrow so at best we could leave Meridian around 6pm, but very little daylight left at that point. I will probably head to the site during the day tomorrow to try and prep more of the area for another go with my winch. His truck is running but battery is pretty dead so his winch isn’t a great help right now.
I am open to any ideas as I have not dealt with this type of scenario. No really good trees to anchor anything to and I am going to at least need to daisy chain my truck to something as I keep getting pulled to him.
Thank you for reading this far.
