You look at this and side hill logistics and top heaviness and wonder to your self why did it not flip on its side cause its deserving even the most beginner knows that side hilling is not the smartest of things

I look at that and think my truck is way too expensive to even go out there. I guess that's what happens when you have more money than brains. Of course he is driving a 6.0 so that tells you something about the brains.

Whats even worse is if you look at the approach from behind you can see they were headed for a tip over if they had not got stuck good chance it would been laying on its side vs being stuck to the pumpkins. Better yet look were the winch line is anchored

the guy on the other site that posted this pic, said the 2 up hill wheels where in the air, and they hooked up a golf cart with a winch to pull it back down on its wheels using the roof rack, and it took two other trucks to yank it out from the back.

Take mine out to the dunes all the time. I don't beat the crap out of it. You can take/drive out there without hurting stuff.

When that happens I just pop into 2wd and the edit ends swings around. But I would have done that long before getting stuck like that.

Def. pucker on this one.haha
