I never thought I would introduce the truck to mud but me and the wife took the 4-wheeler out and it got stuck, and I mean stuck.

Light bulb, hey I have this huge truck, it can get it out.

Good news, 4-wheeler is free...bad news...

Tried a come along, I decided to back off before I broke it.

So my options...

Sleep in truck till it dries up and drive it out
Call a tow truck
Find someone with a truck that has enough testis to pull me out
"Borrow" a service truck from the fire station and winch it out...using it for personal use is highly discouraged.
Buy a member a pack of beer and have a laugh while he pulls me out, wink wink, tim....maybe a couple packs of beer...

Well it would be best to go backwards but the distance to drag would be almost doubled, although there is a patch of dry land not even 15 feet behind it. Just getting to it you have to go over a few small trees as it is a 4 wheeler trail.

You could use the rears as a winch. Run some rope through the rim holes and back out. It would help to do a rope on the left and the right.

Also by solid ground I mean ground you can jump up and down on and not dent more than 1/4". A wrecker will sink on ground that a 818 will walk across and barely leave tracks.

I know what you meant, I was a H8 so I know, that why it would have to be forward drag.

I'm going to try the makeshift tire winch tomorrow, will take video.
