Hey everyone. Me and some buddy's went muddin last Saturday and got stuck trying to pull another truck out. It is a 94 suburban with 10"s of lift and 37s... Pretty much bottomed out. Anyone around fuquay think they could help??
 
Is this on private property with permission from the land owner? If not, it may be hard to find a member on here willing to come out.
 
that... and bottomed out a FS truck w/ 10" lift and 37s in mud? This sounds like an entertaining recovery.
Video is a must.
 
:popcorn:subbing. Been there done that. Left a a k2500 6.5 on 35s and my F150 on 38s in a duck pond one night. Tractor for mine, and a nice CAT backhoe with a punctured rear tire and extendaboom to pull Chebby over my ruts and off a stump :D Kids... Need to find good cable/rope and blocks. Easy peasy, your out and washing and changing fluids in no time.
 
Couldn't get pics cause I had to leave. But what ended up happening was a jeep rubicon with a 10k pound winch hooked up it. Had a chain from it to a 7.3 on 37s, that had a chain hooked to a 2500 suburban on 37s. It pulled it out of the hole. The guy with the jeep decided to leave and the suburban hooked to it and pulled it out of the trail
 
Lol, winch is the only way to go with a bad stuck, winch + snatch block are required for all rigs, Im a firm believer now and will be ordering another winch, and mayeb some parts for my other one haha

I buried the crap out of the XJ at the mud pits recently, was trying to get from point a to b, meant crossing a hole Id been through a hundred times without issue, but I didn't think about it being the weekend after 4x4cross and crew were there, and it was a mistake.

Several big mud trucks tried and buried themselves, ended up having a guy with a winch, hundred feet of line, and a good deal of strap to anchor him to the nearest tree, still struggled and finally jerked me out lol.
 
Had a buddy that worked at the airport. He took a 100 foot outdated stretchy strap that's used at end of a runway with him in his jeep trail riding. Came across a big stuck dodge. Everybody with dis-belief, he hooked up and took off in his small jeep. He said he hit 35-40 and then it brought him alllll most to a stand still and then the dodge came out.

Winch alone is OK but stretchy straps is where it's at. The elasticity acts like a rubber band and much better than a chain.
 
Last time I got stuck I snapped several straps and chains before getting the winch lol
 
Yeahh before the jeep got there we broke a chain and a lot of straps. The trail was just to long to dry dirt to get enough traction . The suburban was all of 5-600 ft through a rut.

In deep crappy mud, quality non-frayed stretch straps are where it's at. As long as both vehicles have legitimate tow points. Hands down beats the hell out of a winch.

agreed, assuming there is solid ground somewhere to get the unstuck vehicle some traction

This is usually the critical point.

I used to have video somewhere of an entire rear bumper that went ~100ft through the air before spearing in the mud next to the stuck rig.
