female driver.

this was a volunteer recovery through Offroad portal.
i don't know them. they were unhurt. it appears that they got into that soft shoulder and 3/4 rolled into the trees.
it probably took on some more damage as we rolled it back over. but it fired right up.
there was another rig there and it took both winches to get up the super soft bank.
it was too dark to get good vids, sorry.

i dragged my rope on the ground, it's probably ruined.

@gnob I forget, does your 8274 have the stock motor or have you upgraded?

it's got the xp update.
thing pulled like a train and had zero thoughts about stalling.
i maybe could have pulled it solo if i had an anchor. that's my typical mo if im pulling something heavier than my rig.

There are things heavier than your rig... My 40 tips the scale at about 4700 lbs empty. I could easily be over 5000 between me, hiking boots, and a small tool box. Add in a couple passengers and it'd soon pass 5500 lbs.

generally everything is heavier than my rig.
im weighing in roughly 4600 dry. im right about 6k fully loaded.

something not heavier than my rig. but apparently heavier than the rear axle of my 85. had to anchor off the house.
