Default First Time Out

First time to take my stock Sahara out, about a month after I got it, I got high centered. Lol Sure was fun though.

Stuck like Chuck.

Doug pulled me out. Wrapped a strap around the front hooks, and once the transfer case was off the ground enough for the tires to touch, 4Lo crawled right outta there! I need a lift and some tires for some clearance!! This noob is totally hooked though.

Default Stuck

I did the same thing about 6 months ago. Wife and I spent 6 hours stuck. Gave me plenty of time to think about ways to get out.
Long story short. You can't winch yourself out if there's nothing to winch to. Thanks to the nice couple from Texas that pulled
me out. A big middle finger to the 'park rangers' who decided to leave me there rather than just calling me an idiot, but helping
me.

Haha! Thanks Gforce! Glad to be part of the club!!

JeepJeremy, the way I see it, getting stuck is part of the game, as well as learning from it. No such thing as an idiot who gets stuck, just idiots who don't help. I'm glad a fellow Texan helped you out. That's how we do!!

You can winch yourself out if you have a Pull-Pal.

Seems like that could be kind of dangerous if it were to slip or something but still a pretty good idea

I would've been out in mere minutes if I would've had one of these and a winch. Seems like a good investment. I'll just add it to my endless mod list.
