Went out shooting with a buddy today. We decided to drive past the power line road, which is full of giant sloppy mud holes.
"Hey! I can test out the winch!"
I tried to get myself stuck a few times but wasn't able to... the locker does it's job!
Then I found these way-to-deep-for-32"-tires ruts.
Decided to stop in the middle of the hole instead of just powering through it... after all I wanted to get stuck. Started up and pushed myself up that center mud slab as far as I could. Forward wheelspin: check! Reverse wheelspin: Check! Tried 4HI for kicks (I still have my old gears up front, but no rear traction so we're safe)... Loss of traction to front wheels: Check!
Yep, stuck.
Hooked up the winch to my buddy's Titan... and started to drag it.
After he got in and put his foot on the brake, I was able to pull my truck out easily from outside.
I plowed the center slab with my rear diff pretty good...
HF winches are SLOW. But later I pulled myself about 75' up a pretty good incline in one shot and neither the winch nor the power lines even got warm.
...and I got dirty. Happiness.
Decided to drive up and over the mountain when we were done... drove past this.
