9'8" fits front right corner of the dash to left rear tailgate at the perfect angle
Great thread!
Sorry no pics (so it isn't verifiable ). We were too busy trying to keep the cruiser from rolling down a ravine.
I was wheeling with the local club in a wooded ravine called Dam's Canyon. The track was just right for a small rig like a CJ, YJ, or sami; too small for a full size; the 60 was just a hair too big.
I came up on a loose boulder on the right side - steep drop-off to the left. I couldn't go around or straddle it so I the rock straight on. Front end did fine but when the rear tire got up on it the rock rolled left, sending my left tire down into the soft shoulder. Keep in mind the rear diff was open at the time. I slowly tried to ease it back up but the rear kept sliding down the hill and taking the front end with it. I crawled forward a couple feet or so but that put the side of my front left tire against a stump. Every time my left rear tire spun the back end slid a little further down and by the end I was side hilling with my butt on the arm rest.
And then I got winched out by the CJ-5 that was following me.

High Desert is "STUCK"!
Here, in these photos I am "STUCK" mowing the yard while the rig and "Jeeves" (my Lab) wait for adventure...It is a bad situation, however, the yard is small so recovery will be quick and I'll be on my way soon..

Nice looking rig.

Not necessarily struck, just taking a little rest
Golden Staircase on Golden Spike, rainy weather, late afternoon, bad judgement when using a strap...
On a 4 day expidition last year in western Alberta (Nordegg, borders Jasper National Park). Second pic is about 50 feet further than the first pic. I now have a second winch hooked to my front and my winch is on snatch block. That skeg is heavy.
If you want to wheel in Canada and in the winter, plan now for River Shiver '08.

Great thread!!
No pix, but we had a fire truck (single axle drive) get stuck in a couple feet of snow. Slid around a corner instead of making the turn. No amount of digging was going to free 45,000lbs of truck, and the road dept wouldn't send us a grader. bummo.

stuck on matagorda beach
stuck on matagorda beach
ah good old matagorda, never actually been stuck there, but I have saved many people from the sand. One time a Z-71 that had atleast 8 people in the bed alone got stuck, no one would get out. We didnt help them.
So I couldn't find any of my 60, but I found some really kool ones that Me and my buddies took (I'm not in any)
