im sure if he tried pullin him out straight with a chain it would pull him out. that little piece of rope aint gonna cut it.

thats what the guy in the f-350 thought, till it lasted longer than the tow hook. its stronger than a chain, believe it or not. my dad found it when he was in the forsest service, its used to carry logges (hundreds of year old red woods) out of the forest by helicopter, its the best thing i have ever used to pull people out.

Now that's taking beyond the limits.

chains snap...and leave little welts down the side of your truck...

I watched waiting for someone to break out the snatch-em-strap...I would NEVER use chains, a good strap will just about always work, and would have if any of those trucks had one!
Yes, I keep a 30,000lb, 30 ft strap in my truck full time.

hhhmmmm... looking at those pictures, I think it would work great if you pull it out the same way he went in... PULL FROM THE REAR??? that would've worked well, his front end is dug in and all that mud has compressed, unless you go up, then out, it aint gonna give much...

Those pics ain't bad.

Remember that that thing weighs close to three tons, and yes, it will have to go up, then forward. Should have gotten a running start lol

Maybe if you had gotten closer in the front. It would have lifted up on his front end more. Ground looks solid right in front.

Particularly wearing ballet slippers. What kind of worthless tires are on the burb? Or maybe they were good tires to start with, but have 50,000 miles on them? And yeah, I would get a tow strap and perhaps a shovel for the next event.

One thing to beware of in the mud is getting stuck, then doing excessive spinning, which digs down all the tires, leaving the vehicle deeply buried and perhaps also high centered.

PS that's a Yukon not a 'Burban

ya we did end up pulling from the back, it didnt work at first with 2 trucks, but with the extra 2 it worked, but not by much.

Quit pulling....and start Snatching!
