Would a SD gasser pull this guy out? Or is this a situation for one of those big redneck trucks on 40 inch tires LOL

Reason I'm asking is I've been seeing a lot of these posts lately on my local Facebook page and I wouldn't mind helping some people out, but don't really know how far I can push my truck.

 

Are you experienced in doing so, with the proper strap, attachment points, and knowledge on procedure? Since you asked, the answer is likely no.

I bought a CJ-7 in 1980 and a strap. Still have the strap today. I have used it (the strap) a few times, nothing like that, would not even try. Tow trucks are equipped to assist idiots. Good Samaritans help stranded people, but ruined trucks such as that are nothing to be attempted. It is already totalled.

 

No super duty can undo that. Unless it has a wrecker body on the back end.

 

Oh please I've pulled out worse with my jeep. I've pulled hummers that where dead and hydrolocked out of mud and water to the center of their windshields. And they where running 35s. That's a stock Frontier and if you have good traction that's an easy ****** job

 

For me it's not matter of "if" you could, more a matter of if you want to attempt it or not.

Like was said above, a super duty or less should be able to pull that out no problem if they have the traction. I've seen worse pulled out by way less truck.

 

I'm no expert, but seeing as how this guy is buried pretty good, I'm not sure how good of traction I would have gotten

 

You are so cool and awesome. I always love reading about how much better and smarter you are than anyone else on this forum, and probably the whole world.

 

That's the point. His truck is buried in water and likely totalled. Risking damage to your vehicle would be pointless, especially when you have no experience doing this. There is a right way, and a wrong way. Do it wrong and damage can occur and people can get hurt.

 

You missed the point of my response, but that's not surprising. Gotta love the Ignore function!

 

It might, it might not. With your truck I would never attempt it. The risk is too high. If you had a beater with decent mud tires I'd give it a shot. You'd want a snap strap to yank him out with speed. These are straps that are designed for stretching, most straps are not. You also do not want to pull him out by driving in reverse. Look how narrow that ditch is to turn around in.

If your rig had a winch it would be much easier. Tie your hind end to a tree and have at it. I never understand why people go mudding without a winch. They knowingly put their truck into situations they shouldn't be and expect others to bail them out.
