Had issues?Sent the 1997 little Kitty down the road without a tear. Dang Cats start to feed them and they hang around. Swift kick and glad to see it go.
Nice job ! !!!! If you have any video, please share. I am building a library of picts of rescues to help MV owners in States who do not allow them.Colorado had a big blizzard on Sunday, dumping 2-3' of wet/dense snow across the Denver area. Denver gets a storm like this about once every 5-10 years (e.g. flood of 2013, 3' blizzard of 2006, etc.). The news said this was the 4th largest blizzard on record.
We spent 12+ hours out around town, pulling people out, and rescuing people from unrecoverable vehicles and ferrying them to safety. People should not have been out with smaller than about Ø40" tires, because they were just getting high centered and losing traction. Of course the people who were out and about were also wearing only a sweatshirt and sometimes shorts, had no shovel or tow strap, etc. Poor decision making at its finest!
LMTV ran like a champ. All told, we pulled or pushed out over 30 vehicles, including an electric-company medium duty utility truck, pickups with trailers, two police vehicles, pickups that got stuck pulling out other pickups, 2WD crossover SUVs and cars, etc. We rescued people from several unrecoverable vehicles, and put them in the back, for a ride to somewhere safe/open/accessible.
Once it got dark, we saw some hazard flashers across a field. We found a county road to go down, and went through about 2-3' deep snow to reach a Honda Ridgeline. The college-age girl inside said she was going to visit a friend (IN A BLIZZARD?). We had to hook her to the pintle and drag her backwards ~1000 yards to the main road. She would have been out there all night, because anything smaller than us wasn't making it down that road.

.Been four months since receiving full payment for the 1088. Truck was not going to leave the yard before title transfer. Yesterday the OP came up and I walked him through the DMV and out of my name. Now just waiting for the shipper to come and trailer it to Miami. Yay truck will be gone but more grass to cut.
.Photos from earlier this year, just an outing with a buddy of mine + family.
