stuck ... recovery ... and transmission

[Ernie Italy]

Well ... if you are stuck on mud or sand or snow and need recovery which tech are correct?
Put in D or R and help when the other truck use strap or winch or put on N ?

And if you are stuck with the belly of H2 that touch the ground ?
Wait your comments...and many thanks..

Here is a tip I got from Bill Burke ( Getting Unstuck DVD )

It is great for being stuck in the sand, snow or on ice.

Cut 4 strips of carpet about 12 feet long. when you get stuck, you can jack up your vehicle, and put the carpet under your tires and then you can drive yourself out of being stuck.

I carry the Pul-Pal for the reason, and they work great for getting Unstuck. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Is the 50lb Pull Pal significantly better than the 38lb one?
I hear you can get them at this crazy place: http://www.trailduty.com/products/pullpal/index.html

While you could really get by with teh 11000 usually, it is intended more for Jeep=sized to mid-sized SUV's while the 14000 is geared for larger trucks. The big difference is the spade size. It goes from 10" on the 11000 to 14" on the 14000. I really don't know how often you go wheeling alone and in what conditions so it's hard to say which would be a better choice. Personally, if all I did alone was light wheling in sand and only occasionally, I'd go with the 11000. If I went out alone often and dealt with mud regularly in backwoods areas, I'd want the reassurance of having the bigger pull-pal.

You just want to help Phil get rich faster. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
Just kidding. It's probably a good idea to get the bigger one. I'll be going hunting and camping fairly often without other vehicles. I guess the back of my H2 will be filling up for the off-road/camping/hunting trips.

I have the 11,000 pull pal. I have never had to use it.

Do you know of a good mounting bracket that might fit my Gobi?

[drmiles]

BTW IMHO, it is best for the stuck vehicle to try to gently free itself. However there are times when a heavy vehicle will just keep digging down in the mud and allowing it to be pulled will let it move to the top of the mud and make dragging it easier..

Fabtech Lift
Gobi Rack
Warn 9.5Ti in multi-mount
DVD system (in case you are REAL stuck and need something to do)
etc..

But you don't need all that, only the REALLY COOL people need that stuff http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Well, I'm 1/4 cool or something. I've got the Warn winch/bumper, which is for really hip people, but my parking situation keeps me from being any cooler. I'd love to get a lift and rack, but then I wouldn't be able to park within 15 miles of where I work. Maybe when I move back to Colorado.
