1st real experience with 4Runner

[JohnnyT]

You need a RECOVERY or snatch strap and the correct shackles otherwise you might kill somebody using chains or a tow strap when something breaks and goes flying. Look it up online on how to properly recover another vehicle and the proper equipment to have.

agreed... but we're just a bunch of rednecks. I like the snatch straps because they are lighter/cleaner and smaller then a chain. But when your dad is a farmer turned brick layer...

So you took your friend to show off your 4runner and were pulled out by a Jeep?

Just wondering did you turn on A-TRAC in 4lo?

Correct, but don't worry, he was still impress with the leather and sunroof :wink2:

I turned it on after I got stuck. What I should have done here is go in with 2H until I got stuck and then put it in 4L to get my ass out of there since I was alone and had nothing on me. And I didn't even see grass... so I don't even know how high I jacked myself.

Honestly the pictures don't look so bad to get you that stuck.

Here's what I think really happened. You are in fact a Barbie Driving Jeep lover who has always been jealous of how great the 4Runner is. So....you went out and bought one and pretended to get it stuck. Then - here is where your evil plan comes together - you made up a fake fantasy story about some magical Jeep pulling you out. Funny that somehow this so called Jeep never shows up in any pictures, eh?

Come to think of it I bet you are not even Canadian, are you? I'm thinking Norwegian. My grandma always warned me to never trust them Norwegians. Pure evil I tell you! :bat:

I did the same thing a couple years ago. The undercarriage was up on the packed snow and the tires didn't have enough traction for any of the features to work.

$80 tow recovery bill.

Recovery/Snatch straps? Spend about an hour on YouTube researching this before you buy or consider these. You will be surprised how dangerous this can be if not done correctly.

Thanks for the reply! I need more support from snow loving Canadians!!

Driving in deep snow comes down to two very important factors: Tires, and ground clearance. Oh, make it three factors, and experience. I have pulled many Jeeps and just about every other manufacture out there out of deep snow. One issue we have in the mountains of NC is we get a lot of snow, but then it gets warm. The snow begins to melt, and then it gets cold again. We end up with very heavy, icy packed snow. I don't care what you have; you don't go very far in that stuff.

The ONLY reason that the Jeep had any success was because you were so close to pavement....
