Come-a-longs rock. attach them to something nice and solid. If you have to, park something big and heavy close enough to get them to work.

Plus, when you're cranking on the come-a-longs, get someone to put tension on it with tow-ropes, being careful not to get too close to the rope, so it doesn't snap and getcha.

In mud, it helps to rock it to break suction.

Good luck.

 

That is good advice 120. We all need to understand how helpful a come-along can be.

 

I totally forgot about come-a-longs...That in my opinion is an essential item even if you have a winch...I remember int he old days a come-a-long saved our butts so many times out at the river..

 

yeah didnt you say you were on a farm? a tractor will have no problem getting you out.

 

yeah my old buddys xterra got stuck in a steep creek bed once and we tried pulling him out with 2 cherokees, with no sucsess. than we used a come a long. Found a thick tree. Took about an hour and 45 mins of cranking but it finally came out.

 

yeah im in there pretty good...

we tried tow straps with the tj but they broke...

i am limited to rear tow points...so what would be the best option to tow from??? we tried the rear axle with no luck...

yeah a tractor would work but they sold their tractor the day before

 

so what else could i use as a tow point...i dont have a hitch so...thats not an option

 

The only tow points you can use are tow hooks. I would refrain from using axles.

You may have to lean on the trusty old tool: shovel.

 

i got pulled out by my front axle by a tractor when i was in your stage with my jeep i just wrapped the strap around the lower control arm and it worked

 

post pics of where you are maybe us more seasoned recovery artists will be able to give you some more pointers(and i just wanna see how bad it is)

 

Worth of the Worthless Parade

 

yep, i just got it out about 10 minutes before it started to rain...(wrangler on 33's did the job)

then my friend in his s10 got stuck on a hill and mangled his exhaust on a log and wrapped it around his axle and now it sticks out right behind the cab all bent up. And tore the plastic piece off the bottom of his front bumper.

we used lots of sticks and rocks under each tire and then finally got pulled out...

pictures will be on later tonite when i get around to it...

 

Heres one...behind the bumper theres a 80degree foot and a half tall wall...and both tires are sunk in a foot...and on the front right tire there is a stream flowing down into it sinking me deeper and deeper...the pic does not do it justice...



ill have some more...my gf is sending them to me...

 

heres a couple more...







VV This is were we attached the chain to a part of the frame by the bumper VV

e

Like i said...these pics deffinatly do not do this hole justice...

 

hook that strap to the rear axle dude or to the shackle, maybe around both shackles
