[Trail X]

Found some old ones... figured they belonged here:

I hit what I thought was supposed to be an easy ride up to a nearby mountain, Chestnut Mtn. The rain we had the prior days ended up providing a more difficult trail than we had expected. With ruts at least 12" deep, I pulled the non-lifted Blazer through 90% of this section.



The ruts got a little too deep even for me, but because of the slick clay, even with M/Ts, you couldn't get out of the ruts. They were like railroad tracks.

So the simple solution was to tie the front end of the brush guard to a nearby tree. As I headed forward, the chain pulled my front end out of the rut. That's an example of using the simplest method possible to recover a vehicle.

I wouldn't have wanted to try this maneuver without the WAAG guard though. It allowed me to hook to it without damaging any part of the vehicle.

Yea, my buddy with a stock wrangler with some firestone mt's made it! so ill be trying again in january with the lift and tires! It may as well been concrete, still chiseling chunks of HARD mud out of my frame and this was in like march or so!

The Firestones would have made it, I think. My Firestones(worn as the dickens, mind you) faired extremely well recently. I guarantee they would have killed that with minimal problems. Federals come close in terms of tread. You can find them at Onlinetires. They are mad cheap. wouldn't pass it up.....
