Stuck? Don't Call These Guys

Pulling a vehicle out of the mud takes a big truck, a strong strap and a little bit of know-how.

In this case, they had two out of three.  Video after the jump.

Nice. Was it not obvious that the front was a bad direction to pull from?!

Good news is we got your Jeep out of the mud. The bad news is that the axle is still stuck in the mud and the back bumper of your friend's truck was ripped off.

at the end, they should have attached the chains to the back of the jeep, swung the back around and taken care of the rear axel/bumper as well.

Nice truck. I was worried that Altimadude was going to be right about the truck.

The cool thing about Cherokees is you can fix all that with one trip to the local Jeep wrecking yard, a couple hundred bucks and a Saturday afternoon.

Maybe he'll install some tow hooks why he's at it this time.

I think I hear banjos in the background.

they apparently didn't have enough length in the tow straps to pull the jeep directly out from the front or back instead of trying to pull it sideways.

Deliverance.

I think these guys failed physics and/or geometry, or the fifth grade...

A better way to free it would have been to dig a hole next on the low side and put a high-lift jack under it. Jack the Jeep up as high as you can and then pull.

The Jeep will fall forward and free.

Of course that would taken a little thought and effort.


That's a really strong tow strap they have though.
