For those who didn't see my tailgate thread with the pics i went offroading today and got my tire stuck in a rut we didn't see while driving on a trail so when a 4x4 diesel chevy tried pulling me out it only made it worse by having my end fishtail down. It is not completely done for but if it rains in the inland empire tonight in ca its gone. Whatever angle we pull it at on the trail will only make it slide down unless somebody has a beastly 4wd truck that can drive up a hill while pulling my truck. ANYBODY? WILLING TO PAY em!

Dont Panic man you should be fine...unfortunately you're going to have to get dirty to get that S.O.B out...go to home depot and get some 2x4's or any hard wood that'd be good for traction...bag of gravel wouldn't hurt either...you're going to have to dig a bit around your tires and just try to massage the thing out...fortunatly if you got that thing stuck pretty good i dont think it'll slide down the mountain =) Just be prepared to work your butt off tommorow though...keep a cool head and just make it as easy as you can for the T to get out...make sure you dig a trough for your front wheels too

Looks like you need to use a shovel to dig a path for your front wheels. Are you leaving your truck there overnight, or are you going to call a tow truck ? Where is your truck located ?
I could probably help you get out Tuesday afternoon after I go to San Bernardino.

Damn that sucks. Good luck! like others have said you're going to have to dig your way out of this one. 2x4's should so the trick just get them under the tires and have some one else pull at the same time.

no but the only thing is if somebody pulls me while driving on the same trail that i am on, it will just make me slide down the hill and potentially roll. i need somebody with a winch that has a long cable cause AAA said they dont give service to off road

I wouldn't even of thought to call a wrecker in to get that out, just need to get a little dirty(basically man up)

^Pretty much hit the nail on the head bahahaaha

Claremont, really though digging will be your only option...mud is a mess so gravel and wood will be your best friend...bring old clothes and prepare to look like one of those mud wresling girls lol...but i really think you're trucks going to be just fine...think good thoughts man!

whip out the yellow pages and start calling. if you're willing to pay there are companies or individuals that have towing services to unstuck yahoos from offroad areas. call around. ain't gonna be cheap but some have winches and such and can yank you right out. good luck mang... now you will know better... :bangit:

It's best that He does not broadcast where his truck is, so that some low life does not think about going there to rip off parts.

another thing you can do is get a ton of tow straps and daisy chain a few trucks together to pull you out. i've been in several of such daisy chains or in succession. have one lead truck on the road up ahead towing one truck and another strapped to your truck and then you'll have essentially two trucks pulling you out. much greater chance of that working. seen it a few times and every time seen it work.
