I was trying to pull out an F250 PSD that got stuck on our recent beach trip.
I almost had him out but my little 4.6L didn't quite have enough oomph. This made me dig rather large ruts under my tires wich was not allowing me to back up to allow the tension off the tow strap that was connected to the F250. I obviously could not drag the F250 farther forward either. This caused a rather large conundrum. My buddy Campos had to hook up to me and jerk me forward enough to allow me to get a little head start on my ruts backward.

Yeah it definitely did suck. I gotta say though, I was able to lack up the whole front of the truck by ONE towhook! It didn't even bend or dent. I bet I couldn't do that with a Chevy Dodge or Toyota!

Haha, yeah the Wrangler that tried to help pull me out that night had fairly new all terrains and it couldn't make it as far as I did with crappy all seasons, although it did make it out, after an hour of working at it though.

Actually, the damage was minimal $30 to change the front diff fluid, $25 for another front drive shaft and maybe another $10 in kerosene for the heater I ran in the garage for 3 days to defrost the truck afterwards.
Oh, and I broke off the mounting bracket that held the trailer lights plug. I haven't fixed that though since the plug still works fine.
