So we all remember my story of winching that kid out of the mud in Columbus? Picture below for memory
Well this evening on my way home from school I turn on the back roads to get to my house. They wind around an older part of the neighborhood that backs up to swamp land, o yummy. Well as I go around a curve i see mud flying behind a house so I slow down as I go by. I see an newer F150 in mud and an older Dodge Ram trying to pull him out spinning as well. So I turn around and go back and ask if they need any help and they said yes. So I pull around the back of the house to see what’s going on. Here is the picture. New body style F150 unloaded (power nothing, 2wd, V6) on street tires and a 98 Dodge Ram 2wd on A/Ts and the Dodge is yanking on the Ford with a CHAIN that is definitely not rated for this kind of load. So I back in place, hook the winch up with a tree saver that I had him attach to his truck (around the frame, no tow points) and I pull him out super easy. Well as soon as he gets out of that hole he hits the gas, spins some more, and is stuck again. So I move around a little, pull him more at an angle and then I unhook and tell him to back up opposite angle into the mud. I get enough room to get around the front of him, hook up the 20' strap and pull him the rest of the way out of the backyard. I then go back and pull the Dodge out who got him self stuck as well.
O yeah, never put it in 4wd..... nln
Sorry for the lack of pictures, I was near 8 pm when I got there, and cold. Apparently these guys are landscapers so they got one hell of a job in front of them now! O and the owner told me they had been stuck since 10 am this morning and no tow service would pull them out. So here are 2 pictures off the camera phone, sorry for crappy shot. Tough to see but the holes are very dug out and the back bumper in the second picture is actually on the ground.
