Looks like a good time. I need to make it out there.

we went with a rear pull. i connected to his drivers side rear hook and pulled his back end down to straighten him out. since his backend is much lighter than the front, and it was already on the low side, it was pretty easy to get him straight so there wasnt a risk of rolling. the angle was pretty extreme and the sand was like an avalanche everytime we took a step. a front pull would have been more difficult. we were at 20psi, but had to air down to 12 to get out of the hole at the bottom.

I have to give you massive props for the rescue - you were stuck in 2 wheel drive and you could have yanked Andrew down on top of you. The event drew quite the crowd - it was amazing how it worked out.

here he is leading up to that moment. that was the only damage done for the day. a couple bashed in skid plates and lots of fun.

Had a great time and the front skid was a small price to pay! I'm looking for a front bumper and bump stop kit before the next outing. Have to admit to a bit of pucker but ready to move on.

Yes thank you Noah for the good time and the really good sounding system. And I was aired down its hard to tell in that pic but I was 24 degrees to the left and 20 degrees nose high. It defintley made for an intersting situation.

it is definitely not as bad in the pic, as it was standing there trying to figure out the best way to get you out. but thats a memory we wont forget. getting stuck and getting out with new found friends is always a good experience in my book

Nice recovery and safe. Thanks for sharing the technique.

Glad you didn't do any dog tricks!
