Stuck in Truckee, CA

[prule84]

Wanted to see how far I could get in 2WD up my friend's road near Donner Lake in the snow. Slid into a ditch and think I blew my transfer case so 4WD is out. Tried to pull out with my friend's 3rd gen but the lack of 4WD in my truck has us handicapped pretty bad. Anyone in the area looking for an adventure? Potentially with a winch?

Thanks guys.

Hope you're out ok by now. I decided not to drive up this weekend since Heavenly decided to close temporarily. Sorry bud, I have a winch too.

It has been a wild few days for sure. We've been waiting for a storm like this all year and now the timing just seems awful.

Truck update: still stuck. Triple A sent a flatbed Sunday night and Monday morning, but they need a smaller truck to get to where I am and they just called saying they can't get to me today.

If anyone on the forums is around that area with a winch, let me know. Stay safe all.

Nobody listed in CA, but was able to get a pull out the other day. Ended up being the CV axle that killed 4WD.

Didn’t see this until now, glad you’re out.

For those in Sacramento or around here, there is a Facebook group for recoveries:
