Yeah...you gotta love it that heepers are always talking crap about chevy's...but whos the first person they call when they get stuck? Me...
Anyways..got a call tonight from a buddy who said they had 2 stuck vehicles about 5 minutes from my house. I get there and there was a newer jeep grand cherokee, a newer expedition. The expedition was going to pull out the stuck jeep, but got stuck in some pretty nasty mud while trying to get to the jeep. Down to the frame rails and buried the rear axle.
So they tell me they had 2 jeep wranglers (one looked like 4" maybe 33's, and one maybe 8" and 37's) hooked together trying to pull the stuck expedition out with no success. So I hook up. First pull is on the other guys strap. I give it about 10 feet of slack and nail it in 4lo (im locked front and rear on 37's) and it snaps the strap without even budging the expedition. So i hook up my 30,000lb strap up and start working. I gave it about 6 or 7 hard tugs before I realized the guy was in 2wd, and had his wheels turned. I was dragging him about a foot each time, but I was basically just dragging him through the mud not out of it since his wheels were cocked. I told him to gas it when i did and start turning the wheel. Gave him 2 more real hard tugs and the last one snatched him hard. He had the brakes on and I was still pulling him, dragging all 4 tires up a hill for about 30 feet.
So on to the next vehicle...the jeep. Now the hood of the jeep was under mud (not water) MUD!! The back tires were barely visible. Neither or the wranglers there could budge him at all either. I knew it would be easier than the expedition cause of the way he went in. He was in straight. The expedition was almost sideways to where I had to pull him out so I basically had to drag him out the whole way. Anyways, I told the guy I was gonna give it a light pull to test the waters. I backed up until the rope was taught and then gave it some gas in 4lo...I started spinning all 4 but saw that the jeep moved towards me about 1 foot before I started spinning. So I pulled forward about 10 feet, gave it one good yank, and he was free. We get out and see that when I yanked him, his front bumper was under the mud...and since I was pulling him out backwards...the mud (and my truck helped) yank his front bumper off, and break the mounts at the frame.
There were quite a few people there (all jeeps), and one hot girl in particular who im trying to get with, to witness my superiority over the heeps. After all that everyone was like "man...none of our jeeps even budged those trucks. Your blazer is badass man."
All in a days work for the old blaze. Sorry, I just had to share with someone.
