The REAL Jeep assist - Post your pic

[Mister G]

Saturday (South of Wynyard) and a Patrol in our group with HT tyres slipped sideways and was very worried it would keep going down the hill. I was able to trade places with a hilux so I could get behind, and a shorty cruiser was able to turn around and winch from the front. He was anchored to a tree and I to another 4X4 behind me. Apart from this little lapse, the Patrol went everywhere we did - just needed a little more right foot. I think after this, he worried less about the scratches, and there were many.





I think I saw something similar in an issue of Jeep Action.

I am working down in vic for a couple of months and went for a drive along the beautiful south coast - I was looking for the colourful beach huts and came across a stuck Falcon sitting on the beach.........

I have given my winch a work out over the years inc pulling a loaded semi, I had to use 3 snatch blocks and scure my Jeeps towbar to a tree to stop me winching myself to the truck, I am aware just how much pulling power is required to drag a 4dr pootrol on its belly up a steep hill and how much power it takes to unstuck a cruiser in the mud....

I was originally going to drive onto the beach let my tyres down and snatch him off, it seemed like the smart way to do it, then I thought hmmmm I dont really want to be bothered to air up after so I decided to winch him.

I hooked it up at 90degrees to the falcon and fully expected it to be difficult to pull a falcon sideways in the sand.

To my surprise when I pressed the winch in button the falcon just came almost effortlessly sideways through the sand until it could straighten up.

I was surprised because my winch was running so fast it was almost free spool speed - so I have now learnt that pulling heavy 4x4's in the mud is significantly more difficult than pulling a falcon sideways off the beach!
